    • Padmé Naberrie was born to humble parents, and was identified early as one of Naboo's best and brightest. She devoted herself to civic duty, and was elected Queen of Naboo at age 14. Padmé adopted Amidala as her name in office.
    • During the Trade Federation siege of Naboo, the scheming Neimoidians tried to force the strong-willed Amidala to sign a treaty that would legitimize their illegal occupation. Amidala refused, and escaped their capture with the help of Jedi ambassadors, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
    • While fleeing blockaded Naboo, the Queen's ship was damaged and needed to set down on Tatooine for repairs. Curious about the planet, Amidala ventured into the city of Mos Espa disguised as a handmaiden. She met a young slave boy, Anakin Skywalker, who was fascinated by Padmé. She found the boy odd but charming.
    • When she finally arrived on Coruscant, Amidala witnessed firsthand the problems of politics. She pleaded for the Senate to rescue her planet, but Trade Federation officials tied up her request in bureaucratic procedure. Following advice from her friend, Senator Palpatine, Amidala called for a sweeping change in the Republic government.
    • Fed up with the Senate, Amidala returned to Naboo. She requested aid from the native Gungans in battling the invaders. When she kneeled before the proud Gungan leader, Boss Nass, she healed the rift between the two cultures borne of misunderstanding and ignorance.
    • During the Battle of Naboo, Amidala infiltrated her own palace, and forced Neimoidian Viceroy Nute Gunray to end the occupation.  The cowardly Neimoidians, having their armies defeated, surrendered and freedom was brought back to Naboo.
    • When her term as Queen ended, Amidala stepped down from office, but continued to serve her planet as its Galactic Senator. Former Senator Palpatine was now Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, thanks in part to the political upheaval caused by the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo.
    • With the rise of a Separatist movement that threatened the stability of the Republic, Amidala was one of the few Senators pushing for a peaceful resolution to the crisis. She led the opposition against the Military Creation Act that would have raised an army to defend against the Separatists.
    • Amidala's starship suffered a deadly attack when it arrived on Coruscant. Amidala believed that it was Count Dooku, leader of the Separatists, behind the attack. Later that night, a bounty hunter tried to kill Padmé in her sleep with poisonous kouhun creatures.
    • At the request of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Amidala was placed under the protection of the Jedi Knights. She was once again reunited with Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker, whom she had not seen in a decade. Anakin had grown into a handsome young man, and a powerful Jedi apprentice.

    • Anakin suffered from terrible nightmares of his mother in danger, which prompted him to return home to Tatooine. He found his dying mother, and lashed out in vengeance against the Tusken Raiders that had tortured her. When he returned to Padmé, he confessed his actions, and collapsed with shame and despair over what he had done. Padmé saw the wounded, sobbing youth, and let her compassion guide her heart as she comforted him.
