Ruwee Naberrie instilled in his youngest daughter
Padmé the importance of initiative and making a difference. As a young man, he served in the Refugee Relief Movement, an example that Padmé would follow in her youth.
An intellectual, Ruwee taught at the local university, but he was also a strong-shouldered man that worked with his hands. Prior to his role in academia, he was a builder.
Ruwee was concerned with his daughter's role in galactic politics, and kept close contact with Queen Jamillia to find the latest news from Coruscant. Prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars, he was gravely worried about Padmé's safety, and grateful for the protection the Jedi order offered her.
