"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."

Undercover Queen [ 2021 ]
My annual Star Wars day aka May the 4th picture I made back in 2021. Seems just like yesterday I was working on this. Not the worst digital painting I’ve done not the best either lol. But I still wanted to share my favorite Queen and her badass handmaiden bodyguard!

I'm continuing my DAO replay and like....... are we just not going to talk about the fact that Anora's handmaiden is Orlesian?
I'm sorry, how did the Queen of Fereldan end up with an Orlesian handmaid? Did Loghain approve of that? Because I bet he sure didn't! Given everything about him, I bet he threw a real stink about that! And yet, Erlina is close enough to Anora to beg the wardens to save her after she's locked up by Howe, appearing entirely loyal to her.
So I broke out the World of Thedas vol2 to see if it said something in there about her and I couldn't find anything. All the wiki has to say is, "Erlina is the handmaiden of Queen Anora. Not much is known about her background but she apparently escaped from Orlais. Arl Eamon suspects that she is more than a simple servant."
Gee, ya think, Eamon?
I just find that to be a very interesting detail, one that has my theorist gears cranking and spinning.

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.
"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.
