Character Information



Name: Leia Organa
Canon: Star Wars
Canon Point: The end of Episode IX
OU/AU/CRAU/OC: CRAU from [community profile] thewake
Age: 57 (54 in canon, and three years in Nautilus)

World Information: A galaxy far, far away, and the City Of Nautilus and its surroundings, which are even farther away than that. The Wake wiki is missing a bit of information, as the endgame had a few notable effects, the biggest of which were Nautilus itself being set free from its chains to drift in the Between, and Kalliste being rendered habitable again for new folks to Wake in after the Isis Remnant was defeated and Nautilus' job was complete. However for the majority of Leia's time in Nautilus, this was accurate. For the basics of how things worked in Nautilus, take a look here.

Personal History: Leia's page on Wookiepedia.

Leia arrived in Nautilus in the middle of an event that had certain characters transformed into cupids or dark cupids and believing that they were in a competition to see how many unaffected characters they could hit with arrows of love or scorn, and such levels of weirdness were pretty much par for the course from then on. During her time in Nautilus she was at various points changed into a MLP-style unicorn, a tusk cat, and a mer-lady. She also spent time as several alternate versions of herself: a political science teacher at a private high school, a Pokémon trainer, a mage in a D&D style setting, a version of her own galaxy where she and Luke's roles had been largely swapped, and a version who had anime style magical girl powers. Needless to say, it was a pretty wild time. And that was when there weren't any rogue Devas or other major threats to deal with.

Leia returned to her own galaxy twice during her time in Nautilus for canon updates, bringing her past the point of her own death and into her existence as a Force spirit. While lifing there, she made a number of good friends, butted heads with a few other people, helped out with both the main medical bay and the Task Force (the closest thing Nautilus had to a government/law enforcement), and generally tried to be a voice of reason in a place where it seemed reason was frequently lacking. She was among the final group of Nautilus Wakened who helped to defeat the Isis Remnant and restore the natural Cycle of Awakening. She then relocated to the now habitable Kaliste, settling in for a bit of R and R while she waited to greet the first new batch of Wakened. It will be from shortly after those first new Wakened began to arrive that Leia will be brought to the train platform.

Personality: Leia is an immensely strong woman with a powerful and commanding presence despite her diminutive height. Fierce, sharp-witted, and strong willed, once she sets her mind to something, there's very little that can stop her from accomplishing it. She cares deeply about the galaxy and its people, having committed herself to fighting for their freedom and safety throughout her life, putting her duty to them ahead of her own desires. Despite being raised as royalty, she has little taste for titles of nobility, preferring to define herself by her actions and what she could do rather than by wealth and status.

Still, no one who meets Leia would be be surprised to know that both of her mothers were Queens. She possesses remarkable leadership qualities and is able to keep her composure even during humiliating situations such as diving into a garbage chute or being chained to Jabba the Hutt. She did inherit her father's temper though, and is very much not a woman to cross without good reason.

Despite her diplomatic skills and a commitment to Alderaanian values of pacifism, Leia is still a woman of action, willing to fight fiercely for the galaxy's freedom. She's very hands-on in her leadership and eager to get things done, sharing a certain amount of impatience with her brother Luke. That was her chief frustration with politics; though she would rather achieve things by rule of law than with violence, she dislikes having to deal with self-interested politicians who debate everything endlessly to the point that very little actually gets accomplished. She's not the type to stand by and wait for someone else to solve a problem if there's something she can do, constantly striving to make a positive difference in the galaxy.


Leia is generally an idealist, but has seen enough of the galaxy and the multiverse to know when to be realistic, and tries to keep a healthy amount of common sense no matter what. She's passionate not just about the 'big picture', but about people. As a General in the Resistance, she knew everyone under her command by name and recruited most of them personally, and from her earliest days of political involvement has been a committed humanitarian. Perhaps Leia herself put it best; "I feel like because I can fight, I have to, for those who cannot."


CRAU developments: While in Nautilus, Leia got to know a great many people from a great many different worlds (and developed an intense dislike for how some of those worlds were organized). Of particular note was her seemingly unlikely friendship with the 4th Doctor. The two of them became very close, and he became one of the few people in any universe Leia felt she could entirely let her guard down around and be completely herself with; to allow herself to lay down the mantles of a General, a Princess, a Senator, or any of the others she's worn over the years and just be Leia.

Leia gained even more intimate knowledge of some worlds thanks to reality storms. She retained at least partial memories from all of her temporary transformations into various alternate selves, including some basic general information on the worlds those alternate selves inhabited. From her stint as a teacher in 'Nautilus Academy', she gained both enough basic teaching experience to later act as a private tutor for Adrien Agreste as well as enough knowledge of several Earth languages- including German, Spanish, and French- to be considered somewhat fluent. From her time as a Pokémon trainer, she gained basic knowledge of Pokémon care, training, and breeding, as well as enough skill in battling that she would likely be reasonably successful at it should she ever reclaim her Pokémon. And from her time as both a D&D style mage and a magical girl woman she retains a basic knowledge of both magic systems, including potion brewing, spell craft, and the care of magical artifacts and familiars. She also gained two new forms from reality storms- those of her tusk-cat self and mer-lady self. While both would be extremely impractical on the train itself, she would be able to use Bending to transform into either of them on missions if needed.

She now also has the use of Nautilus-style Bending (which will be detailed a bit more in the abilities section) on top of her own Force powers. Her time and experiences in Nautilus afforded her the chance to practice with and develop said Force powers and become more skilled and confident with using them than she is in canon. Her time assisting the 4th Doctor in the medical bay helped her to develop some basic skills in both healing via the Force and Bending as well as building on her basic knowledge of first aid and field medicine. And likewise, her time helping with his many and varied plants gave her some knowledge of horticulture and plant husbandry, as well as the various therapeutic uses of certain plants.

Key themes: The key themes of Leia's life have always been love, duty, sacrifice, and tragedy. Specifically, the sometimes delicate balancing act of the first three, and carrying on and rebuilding from the latter. And of course there's the thread that runs through the entire Skywalker family of the necessity of dealing with one's own personal darkness and overcoming it in order to find some sort of personal balance.

Main Motivation: Duty. Leia has always been a creature of duty in one form or another. Duty to her friends and loved ones. Duty to the Rebellion, the New Republic, and the Resistance. Duty to her people, the survivors of Alderaan. Duty to the galaxy at large. Duty to her heritage and legacy. It's something that she's quite aware of regarding herself, and something that she willingly accepts, though she does have her moments of resentment toward it. And those rare times she can completely forego duty and the equally rare people she can do so with are something she deeply treasures.

Skills: As mentioned above, Leia has access to both her own natural Force powers- which include all the standard Jedi abilities like telekinesis, the Jedi mind trick, and psychic senses related to both individuals as well as environments and situations- as well as Bending. Bending, is in short, the act of applying one's will to shape reality. It can't be used to create anything alive, but it can create the semblance of life, and as a general rule, it's far easier to reliably Bend things that you're familiar with. Bending is also the source of the mer-lady and tusk cat transformations mentioned above. After the endgame, all those remaining in Nautilus had their Bending powers increased to rather insane levels, so to avoid being completely game-breaking, Leia's Bending will be restored to its pre-endgame levels. So she could fairly easily Bend up, for example, a chair, but wouldn't be able to Bend up a house to put it in on her own.

Aside from the supernatural abilities mentioned above and those detailed in the CRAU developments, Leia also has a number of more mundane skills. She has extensive experience in politics, diplomacy, espionage, and military tactics, and is very good at getting things she sets her mind to done, even with minimal resources. She can ride a variety of mounts (except for tauntauns for some reason) and can pilot various speedercraft and speeder bikes, as well as most small spacecraft from her own galaxy, up to shuttles and certain types of light freighters; should she be provided with flight training simulators for voidcraft of similar scale or spacecraft native to in-game environments, it's likely she could learn to pilot them as well.

In terms of combat, she has excellent aim with a blaster- she prefers compact hand weapons in this regard, but can handle most blasters that a human can use-, and is trained in the use of a lightsaber, though her saber skills are only about average; Luke was always the better of the two of them in that area. She is, however, a woman in her late 50s. While she's in excellent health especially for someone who's technically dead in her own world, she doesn't have the stamina she once did and likely won't be running through miles of corridors or swinging over any bottomless pits these days if she can avoid it. The Force can help somewhat in that regard, but is only a temporary fix. Given a choice, in combat she's far more likely to hang back, supporting more direct fighters with blasters and/or a combination of the Force and Bending.

On the more day to day end of things, she's both a natural leader and an excellent organizer. Thanks to her courtly upbringing, she's excellent at ballroom-style dancing and can speak a number of languages fluently, others conversationally, and can understand several more that she can't reproduce for one reason or another, including droid binary and Twi'lek lek gestures. While not formally trained beyond field medicine and first aid, she has some knowledge of healing (see CRAU section for more details) that can be put to use on the train and beyond it. And she has a particular combination of stubbornness, cleverness and common sense that makes her excellent at both keeping stubborn patients where they belong in medical an generally keeping the more reckless and idiotic in any group from getting themselves killed in various ways.

Item: Her lightsaber. (Though obviously initially turned off.)

Sample: TDM time!

Notes: When in exceptionally deep meditation or otherwise sinking deep into the Force, Leia may temporarily revert to her Force spirit form, as this is technically her natural form in her own galaxy now. She doesn't really gain or lose any abilities in this form, but may seem more present magically/spiritually and less so physically for those capable of sensing such things.
