So, I was re-watching Star Wars Episode 1: the Phantom Menace for the umpteenth time and I swear, I notice something new everytime! For instance, this time I noticed that when the queen returns to Naboo and when they're in flight hangar how her handmaidens were even partaking in the Battle. How I never noticed that before, is beyond me. I've always felt like their characters are a bit underestimated. But I've always found them fascinating! So here's an appreciation post for them!
(The first image is a collage that I made, the others are just stuff I found online.)

"Do you like Anakin?" Padmé asked. She sounded like the girl she'd been, huddled under blankets, asking questions about Harli Jafan all those years ago. "You're really the only one who has spent any time with him as an adult."
"I understand why you like Anakin," Sabé said. "He's a little bit intense for me. He's completely devoted to you, which I admire, but when he's angry, he scares me a little bit."
"He's very powerful in a way I could never understand," Padmé said. "His sense of justice is extreme. There was an incident with a Tusken encampment on Tatooine when we were there."

Will You Stay// ch 2
Bi!Padme x F!Reader
Tumblr media
(a/n: finally updating this one haha, im still deeply in love w padme, but most of the demand is for the ani stories 👀)
your arrival on Coruscant brings new faces, old memories, and familiar danger
Warnings: Cannon typical violence, cursing
______________________
Years later, you and Padme became inseparable, you loved her and she loved you.
She grew to be a beautiful woman, her brown hair growing longer and her features sharpening; though, her beauty marks remained.
You were to accompany Padme to a meeting with the Jedi Council on Coruscant. You saw that she was rather excited to be in the governmental capital once more. You loved how passionate she was for democracy and freedom.
On the way, she told you the Jedi who helped her when she was stranded on Tatooine all those years ago would be there. You could tell she was looking forward to meeting him again.
Her memories of the jedi, Qui-Gon and his apprentice Obi-Wan were much more exhilarating than your memories of that time.
During that period, you had been sent to the planet Aalderan as a decoy for the Queen, that was one of the few times you had ever been separated from her. 
The elevator ride up was silent but she made sure to squeeze one of your hands for comfort.
________________________________
Two men dressed in classic jedi robes came sauntering towards where you and Padme were waiting. One had longer orange-ish hair, a beard, and kind eyes, that must be Obi-wan. The other stood a bit taller and sported a shorter cut with a padawan braid tailing from the back. He looked a little younger than the latter and his eyes were filled with ambition. 
You noticed something you didn’t particularly appreciate about the younger jedi… his wandering gaze as he looked upon Padme.
He appeared enchanted, ravenous, and held a sense of longing, almost as if he was in love. 
As you examined the man further you had to admit, he was handsome.
His shoulders were broad and his jawline sharp. His deep blue eyes, a sea of emotion. You hated to admit it, but he had a beautiful face; the prettiest you had seen on a man.
As much as you hated how he looked at your lover, you hated the look on her face even more. You had seen that face before… the face of a woman who was intrigued.
Fuck. 
After introductions you followed behind her into the lounge room, “I have a bad feeling about that one” you whispered into her ear.
You hoped it was just jealousy, but there was something a little off with that jedi.
Soon after the initial formalities, Padme and you finally retired to her suite. You proceeded with the normal duties of a handmaiden; undoing her dress, helping her take off her headdress, wiping the makeup off her face, all the while staying noticeably silent.
Her soft brown locks fell around her beautiful face as you undid her hair.
“Something’s troubling you, what is it my darling?” her sweet voice called as she rested a polished hand against your blushing cheek. 
Her warm brown eyes calms your nerves and you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding. 
“I’m sorry m’lady, I’m just a little wary of the jedi men… there was something…off about the younger one.” you said, taking her hands in yours.
“Little ani?” she asked before letting out a small giggle. “He is harmless, I assure you he only means the best”. 
Not quite comforting for you…
She sighed as she noticed your rigid form, she placed a gentle hand on the side of your face and pulled you in for a kiss. 
“Y/N… It will be ok” she whispered against your lips. 
Though you may not have been completely at ease, her comforting aura calms your nerves. 
“Ok, Padme” 
___________________________________
Night fell upon the city of Coruscant and the bright neon lights of the bustling city lit up the streets. Outside the windows of the high rise speeders of all colors and sizes zoomed around the designated lanes below. Padme had returned to her room for the night, she had a busy schedule this week after all. 
You were alerted of the guards posted all around the building to hopefully capture the assassin that was rumored to be after Padme. You didn’t have total faith in the guards, but you let them carry on with their jobs. 
You wandered the halls of the penthouse for a final check of your own, before you would retire back to your lady.
You walked past the large room everyone had gathered in earlier that day, the young jedi and his master stood in the middle of the dark room. 
“I don’t like just waiting for something to happen” you heard “ani” say. 
Muffled voices spoke more until you heard the young one’s voice again.
“I don’t think she likes me watching her,” he said, referring to the surveillance cameras in her room.
“Nor do I” you interjected, emerging through the shadows. 
The two men shifted their gaze to you, you were no longer in your usual handmaiden garb, instead you sported a nightgown similar to Padme’s, just less decorative.
You felt the energy in the room shift.
“Excuse the intrusion, but I don’t think we ever officially introduced ourselves, I am Y/N, Senator Amidala’s personal handmaiden” you bowed to the men in front of you.
The younger one stared intently at you, you wondered if he could sense your distaste for him. You met his icy stare before turning to the bearded man. 
“My apologies, madame. I am Obi-Wan Kenobi, and this is my padawan, Anakin Skywalker. We are honored to serve your lady and provide as much security as necessary”
“It is nice to make your acquaintance, I appreciate your dedication to M’lady, but I do agree, I do not think she appreciated fairing under your watchful gaze” you narrowed your eyes at the younger man who was still staring at you.
He blinked a few times before straightening his posture, “Well, It’s not like I really needed to see anything, I can sense everything going on in that room” he said arrogantly with an annoying smile. 
“Are you so sure?” 
“Oh, I am very sure.” Anakin smirked. 
“What is M’lady feeling right now then?” you inquired deviously.
“That is classified information” he responded, looking too proud of himself.
“I can sense something too” you perked up
“And what would that be?”
“Well…I don't exactly have to be a Jedi to sense your strong feelings for her”. 
He jerked his head back and his master looked over at him with wide eyes. You knew Obi-Wan already had an idea, because you overheard their conversation to Jar Jar after the initial meeting today. But neither of them expected to hear you say that out loud.
“I thought part of your code was not to form attachments, seems to me you should work on that instead of trying to sense Padme’s every feeling” you said making your exit to check up on the guards downstairs. 
You knew it was a little too informal to refer to her as “Padme”, that was not a handmaid's place; actually, no one was supposed to know that you and her had such a relationship, it was forbidden.
But your protectiveness over her flared when the padawan began speaking of her as if he knew her like you did.
He really had the audacity to insinuate he could feel her through his “force”, for makers sake, he was a fucking padawan!
You walked off the thoughts as you went downstairs to check on the post in the lobby. Though soon, you heard the sound of a saber igniting. You ran back up to Padme’s room and prayed that the saber was not giving a blow to her. 
You turned the corner to see Anakin on top of her with his saber and Obi-Wan crashing through the window to chase a droid. 
“Padme!” you exclaimed as you hurried to her side. 
Before you reached her you exchanged a dirty look with Anakin, “So much for sensing everything” you spat. And he narrowed his eyes before running out to chase his master and the assassin.
If his “sense” was as strong as he boasted, he would have known there was a droid ready to deliver danger to Padme, before it even touched the window. 
Padme had barely woken and was utterly confused. Her eyes were wide and her heart was racing; everything in your body told you to hold her, but there were too many people around. Instead, you took one of her polished hands and looked into her eyes, “M’Lady”.
“Senator, Are you alright?” someone spoke.
“Yes, I’ll be just fine. I just need to collect my thoughts. May I have a moment alone” she said, trying to get everyone to leave the room.
“I’m afraid we cannot allow you to be alone without protection” 
“Y/N will stay with me, she is my handmaiden after all and each of my maidens are trained in defensive combat” she argued.
The officials in the room decided it best to keep the senator happy, and they all heard the stories of Senator Amidala's faithful handmaidens. Once they showed her to a fresh room and left, you pressed the sliding door closed and met her on the bed. 
“Padme, my love, are you alright?” you held her head to your chest and kissed the top of her head. 
Her heart was beating relatively quickly but it was starting to slow, “Yes, my dear, I am alright. Not like we haven't all had a failed assassination or two” she quipped. 
Even in these times she reminded you how brave she was, she was barely phased at the fact that she could have died. You let out a small laugh before hugging her to your chest.
“I was just so worried… when I saw him on top of you with his lightsaber… I just didn’t know..” 
Her face softened, she knew how protective you were of her, “oh, y/n, It’s alright, I’m alright” she smiled pulling you into a loving kiss. Her beautiful brown locks tickled your cheeks as you smiled into her. 
“Shall we go to sleep? Or would you like to stay up” you asked.
“Let’s rest, we have a big day tomorrow and maker knows they are going to make a big deal of tonight” she sighed, pulling the covers of the new bed back. 
“Are you sure?” 
“Let me enjoy sleeping with you in this beautiful city for one night”  she said, beckoning for you to join her.
And of course, you couldn’t resist your Lady.

His manners were still impeccable, like when he was a little boy, but, Sabé remembered, he was the one who programmed C-3PO in the first place. Several pieces of the puzzle that was Anakin's presence fitted together neatly in her head.
"You and Padmé," Sabé said.
Anakin bristled, like he was ready for a fight.
"It's none of your business," he said.
Tumblr media
"I am in my nightgown, and you are in my room," Sabé said. "I think it's at least part of my business."
"She-" Anakin started. He looked down at his hand, flexing his newly tuned metal fingers inside his glove. "I love her," he said. And then, like it was a dare: "She loves me."
It made all too much sense. Why Padmé had disappeared on Naboo. Why the schedule had changed and why the staff had such a new routine. This is why Padmé's evenings were free. This was why her handmaidens slept on the floor below instead of the penthouse suite as they used to. She hadn't done it for herself, not to make a separation between her career and her personal space. She had done it for him.
"You're angry," Anakin said. "That doesn't bother me. I'd be angry, too, if she picked you over me."
"That's not how it works, Jedi," Sabé said. "Padmé's heart is infinite, and she loves many, many people. Not to mention her feelings about duty and her job. If you haven't figured that out yet, you will soon enough."
"Maybe," Anakin said. He didn't sound entirely convinced.

Padmé x Sabé
words: 1,157
summary: My take on Padmé and Sabé’s last night together.
tags: Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Unrequited Love, Feelings, Heartbreak, Reminiscing, Planet Naboo, Naboo Royal Handmaidens
author’s note: I’m addicted to causing myself pain by indulging in the sadness of the Naboo handmaidens, especially Sabé.
Sabé had mastered the art of facing confrontation without fear. As she aged, it became a more manageable task, but confronting the woman she loved profoundly about her clandestine marriage still stirred an internal turmoil. It wasn't just an affair; it was a marriage. She had always presumed that Padmé would choose a love encompassing something grander than an individual, perhaps a planet or a species. Consequently, the revelation that Padmé had married Anakin Skywalker left her utterly astonished.
However, in that moment, she recognized the importance of not dwelling on such thoughts. The chance to spend one last night with the love of her life was too precious to be overshadowed by considerations of another man. Padmé's smile radiated the purest form of joy she could ever know. Despite the passage of years, she found delight in exchanging playful banter with her beloved Queen of Naboo.
“Neurotransmitter Affection. That was a hell of a concert.” Padmé smiled as she recalled the adventures she shared with the handmaidens during their youth.
“Part of me feels like I was foolish to accept Harli’s invite.” Sabé replied, turning her head over to fully face her. “So risky, yet so fun.” She smiled back.
Unable to resist, she found herself contemplating how Padmé's beauty had only flourished over the years. It was impossible to suppress her feelings for her. Padmé chuckled softly, shifting onto her side on the expansive mattress, returning her gaze with equal intensity.
“Poor Saché.” she said, shaking her head playfully throughout the entire conversation. “I felt so bad about having left her behind.”
“Panaka was always far too paranoid.” Sabé let out a small chuckle of her own. “In a good way, I suppose.”
Padmé nodded in agreement. After a brief interval of companionable silence, she leaned forward on the bed, resting her head on her former handmaiden’s shoulder. Looking at Sabé, it was hard to believe they had been friends for so long. “Can you believe how quickly time has passed?” She blinked slowly. “It feels like just yesterday we were on the streets of Theed.”
Sabé fell silent for a moment, her emotions laid bare by the waves of nostalgia washing over her. If she could, she would have attempted to maintain a positive facade, but the realization that their friendship might be over dominated her thoughts. The truth loomed large – everything had changed, and that included Padmé. She was now married, steering the course of things in a different direction. They discussed it openly and reached an understanding that Sabé would no longer fulfill the role of her handmaiden. However, the lingering emotions persisted.
“Padmé,” She whispered, savoring the taste of her name on her lips.
“Yes?” Padmé replied, her interest piqued by her companion’s sudden change of tone. Looking at the other woman, it was easy to detect the hints of sadness that tainted her expression. That was hardly surprising considering the circumstances. Though Padmé could never reveal the true reasons for her departure, she could at least attempt to alleviate her handmaiden’s sorrows.
She placed a hand upon Sabé's cheek, rubbing it in a reassuring motion. “What is it?”
Sabé felt herself unraveling at this simple gesture, her eyes welling up with tears. "Don't, please," she murmured, delicately pushing away Padmé's hand from her face. It was as if she was already grieving the impending loss of their friendship, or the potential it could have had. Yet, she chided herself for entertaining thoughts of anything more between them, feeling foolish for even considering such possibilities.
Understanding the reasoning behind Sabé's sudden withdrawal, Padmé refrained from interfering. Her handmaid was obviously caught in an emotional deluge, and even if she weren't, any attempts to console her would most likely be futile. Instead, Padmé turned toward her companion, hoping her presence would prove comforting. She placed a hand on Sabé's back, gently caressing it in a reassuring gesture. The two of them sat quietly together in the dimly lit bed for a long moment, a palpable silence engulfing the room.
"What I’ve learned is that I'd rather be second to you than first to anyone else." Sabé brushed away her tears, mustering a composed tone despite the turmoil within.
“Sabé,” Padmé said softly, her tone tinged with remorse. Her heart went out to the other woman, torn by the conflicting desires of her mind and her heart. They could never possess one another the way she wanted to. She swallowed back her emotions, hoping Sabé wouldn’t perceive her inner struggle. “I never meant to hurt you.”
She shook her head in response, offering a faint smile, attempting to reassure Padmé. "I don't want you to worry about me," she said, sitting up and briefly averting her gaze. "It probably comes as no surprise that I still feel the same about you as I did when we were young." She chuckled, the sound carrying a hint of self-deprecation.
Padmé remained silent, her gaze fixed on Sabé's expressive face. She couldn’t help but feel conflicted by her own emotions and desires. She hated the fact that her marriage to Anakin was causing her handmaiden so much anguish. Even though Sabé had accepted their current situation, it was evident that it wasn’t sitting well with her. Padmé hoped that time would eventually ease her sorrows, allowing her friend to move on. “I’m glad you still feel the same way. I will always care for you, regardless of what happens.”
Sabé gazed into her eyes, the depth of her affection still evident. "I will always put you first," she declared, tilting her head slightly. "Regardless of what happens," she echoed Padmé's words. It was a promise she was committed to keeping for the rest of her life.
After all,
It made all too much sense. Why Padmé had disappeared on Naboo. Why the schedule had changed and why the staff had such a new routine. This is why Padmé's evenings were free. This was why her handmaidens slept on the floor below instead of the penthouse suite as they used to. She hadn't done it for herself, not to make a separation between her career and her personal space. She had done it for him.
