Leia Organa

Leia Organa (born as Leia Amidala Skywalker) was a human female who was the child of senatorPadmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, a former Jedi Knight. Like her father and her twin brother, Luke, Leia was force-sensitive. She was born in 19 BBY, two days after the formation of the Galactic Empire. Her mother, Padmé Amidala, died in childbirth, and her father, Anakin Skywalker, became a Sith, so she and her brother, Luke Skywalker, were hidden separately so that the Galactic Empire, the Emperor, and Darth Vader (their father, the former Anakin Skywalker) would not find out about them. Leia was adopted by a royal couple of Alderaan, Bail and Breha Organa, so Leia became the princess and the heir to the throne of Alderaan.
