Swept away from her home at a young age by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leia Organa has few m emories of her natural parents. She was told that they died and that Bail Organa took her in. In truth, Obi-Wan secretly placed her under Bail's care when her father, Anakin Skywalker, became Darth Vader. The Organas were as loving as foster parents could be, and she considered herself t o be their own child.

As Bail was Viceroy of Alderaan at the time, Leia received the best education fr om the best schools. She grew to be a strong political leader and became one of the youngest members of the Imperial Senate. From there, she fought for reforms, usually to no success. Soon she be gan to work for the Alliance.

It was at her father's insistence that she departed on the mission that began th e events leading to the Battle of Yavin. She was to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and, on the way, receive the st olen plans to the Death Star. Both missions were passed on to the astromech droid R2-D2 when her ship was overtaken by a Star Destroyer.

Leia is a strong-willed woman with her ideas firmly rooted in her ideals. She k nows the course of action that should be taken, although has trouble explaining it. This supports her "do it and they'll see" philosophy. Her primary concern is for the Rebel Alliance, but somewhere deep down, cries a lonely child searching for someone who truly understands her.
