2. Canon Character Information
Name: Leia Organa Solo
PB: Carrie Fisher
Journal:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rebellionprincess
Age: 27 years of age
Appearance: Leia stands at the Star Wars equivalent of five feet one inch. But she makes up for that by sheer force of will and personality. Her brown hair is long, and usually kept in some sort of braid; often intricate (she takes after her mother, in that fashion).
Tell us about your character's physical appearance. Please also include any information that a person could tell from examining your character, such as posture, poise, frequent ticks.
History: Leia Organa Solo at the Wookieepedia
Powers/Talents: Leia follows in both her mother and her father’s footsteps as both a shrewd politician and a skilled Jedi. Her focus has been less on her Jedi training, but she carries the same potential as Luke (and later, will prove herself to be
If your character has supernatural abilities, list them here. Also include any strong talents or skills your character has.
Personality: As a child Leia was both fiery and headstrong, but not to the same degree as her brother and father. And unlike them, though, she never went looking for adventure or rushing into things without thinking. She wasn’t fond of her role as princess of Alderaan. She was a tomboy, and often mistaken as some sort of ‘domestic girl’; matters weren’t helped by the fact that her closest friend, Winter, had poise and grace enough to be mistaken for the princess that Leia didn’t appear to be at first appearance. She was an incredibly intelligent child, and had heavy instruction on a wide variety of subjects and things only increased it. As she grew older and matured her outspoken nature increased and her dislike of her title ended.
This is really the meat of the application. You should get into what distinguishes your character from others. What are their goals? How would other people describe them? What do they desire, what are they afraid of? How do they present themselves, and what do they internalize?
Why would your character be chosen? Give us a sentence or two, guessing why your character might be chosen. Don’t worry about getting too deep or profound. You might pick a unique physical trait or an impressive ability. Just something that would make your character stand out from others in a way that would attract attention. For example, Helen of Troy might be chosen for her beauty. Xander Harris from Buffy might be chosen for his empathy. Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter might be chosen for her individuality, or lack of conformity. What makes your character unique?
How much does your character know about nonhumans? This will determine how much information about the Nysgods your character will have the option to bring into the game. For example, we might allow an Albus Dumbledore or a Rupert Giles to know a great deal of information about the Nysgods, while we will probably say that a George Costanza or a Cinderella would never have heard of them. If your character is very familiar with supernatural/alien/demon/etc species, please give us some detail about why they know this information. PLEASE NOTE this information will not affect your character's involvement in the metaplot either way.
Why this character: Leia’s always been one of my favourite characters from the Star Wars movies, and I think playing her would be a fun challenge. I absolutely think I’ll be able to both keep her voice and find her interesting to play after playing her a while.

4. Samples
Please either include a first-person entry that could be your character's first post on The Network, or a third-person prose or action spam sample that could be your character's reaction to arriving in Dagaz. For the other two samples, links to previous character examples are fine.
First-Person: (5+ sentences) Journal-entry style, written in the character's own voice.
I can’t believe this. You’re sadly mistaken if you think I’m having any part of marrying this... prince of yours. I’m already married. I don’t particularly plan on having ANOTHER husband. And I don’t particularly appreciate the kidnapping. I had enough of that back home.
Speaking of home. I’d like to go back as soon as possible.
Third-Person: Leia swept through the corridors. She didn’t have time for this. There was too much left to do at home. Pieces to be put back together. Battles to be fought. And Han... She’d... They’d only just decided to start a family. How could they expect her to just... accept this? Accept that there was nothing to be done until this... Grasp was fixed?
No. She was having none of it. There had to be some way around it. She wanted to get back to her husband. Get back to her home.
At least her brother was here. That was... one of the very few things she liked about this place. Having his familiar presence around (albeit from some time in her past) was steadying.
And... Anakin. She wasn’t sure how she felt about that. How she felt about her father’s presence. She’d only just come to term with the fact that he’d been neither born nor raised as the monster she’d known. And suddenly he was HERE. Alive. As Anakin Skywalker, her father, not Darth Vader. This wasn’t like any situation, political or otherwise, that she’d navigated so far, and it was so much more... personal. She was trying to let go of her anger, but it was difficult. He was there, and she could SENSE him. All the time.
(Either a 200+ word entry or a link to a thread of 10 or more comments) Show us, don't tell, what your character is like in a prose writing sample.
Third Sample This is your decision. You can include another first-person post, a third-person post, or action spam.
