Rabé Headcanons
Rabé was born and raised in Theed, the youngest (and brightest) of four siblings
She knew Eirtaé before both were accepted into the Royal Handmaiden Academy and they are best friends
Being one of the handmaidens who looks nothing like Padmé Amidala, Rabé has a very specific set of skills: she has superior combat abilities - both close and ranged
Her official role in the group of handmaidens is Combat Specialist
However, she hates fighting, so people never really appreciate just how good she is at combat (she loves to spar, though)
Rabé is an absolute sweetheart - next to Dormé, she is the kindest of the handmaidens; just... an Eternal Optimist(tm)
She can (and has) taken down ARC troopers in sparring matches because they underestimated her - she is TINY, like all the handmaidens (5′3″), but they have gone through years of intense training and know how to perform epic takedowns at the drop of a hat
During the course of the Clone Wars, Rabé, Eirtaé, and Sabé stayed together on assignments for the reigning Queen of Naboo while Dormé, Cordé (rip), and Teckla Minnau (RIP) went with Padmé to Coruscant
There were a few instances when the three reunited with Padmé and all of them worked with Anakin and the 501st on missions Not Shown - which is a tragedy please take a moment to picture this image
Rabé’s personal mantra is “Do No Harm But Take No Shit”
ok so like umm handmaidens? Which one is the one whom sweats every time Padme walks in the room and who can't form a coherent thought and sometimes blurts out weird shit bc she's nervous is literally too gay to function? (and whom Padme thinks is super adorable and loves w all her heart) thank u
ok so the options:
so I’m thinking the obvious call is Sabé ??? because “my most trusted advisor”/”my loyal bodyguard.”, the trust between them, the fact that Sabé stays on when she becomes senator ?? I won’t go deep on that it’s too obvious.
Same with Eirtaé, but Eirtaéwas in the running for Queen at the same time as Padmé so… potential lingering bitterness ? so i’m partially gunning for Sabé.
Also though… lil bby lesbian Padmé, training w her handmaidens to be queen she totally had a crush on Rabé too like look at this:
and the fact that Padmé saved her during their handmaiden training too like those two could be pretty Sweet.
Older!Padmé/Dormé is… pretty great like just watch aotc ?? the left is bts but still
they have such great chemistry in the background I would die for them.
Then there’s Teckla. There’s a whole ep in tcw (pursuit of peace) dedicated to their relationship and how they opened up and supported each other like. wow.
even star wars wiki knows.
tldr; young-queen-in-training Padmécrushed on Rabé, young-senator Padmé crushed on Dormé and war-time-senator Padmé crushed on Teckla, and Sabé was there the whole time holding her hand and caring and encouraging her to find all the love she can thanks bye
🔥 !
I don’t care for Jyn Erso
Fake tiddies, fake heart
Eirtaé Headcanons
@evaceratops found some really excellent stuff in Eirtaé’s Legends tab on Wookieepedia so we’re considering all of that canon, because there is less than nothing about the handmaidens in actual canon
Eirtaé and Rabé are best friends, which is hilarious to see because Rabé is a tiny sweet darling and Eirtaé is a pessimistic “sentient block of salt” (thank you Eva for accurate character descriptions)
She grew up in a very well-to-do family but was kind of removed from regular life, which is part of the reason she lost the election of Queen to Padmé
She is quiet and always watching - she knows everything, guys, don’t even think of lying to her - and she rarely speaks, but when she does… you had better listen
Eirtaé is double-jointed
Not as good at combat as Rabé but down to fight every minute of every single day
She loves her sisters in her own silent, carved-from-marble way and is extremely protective of them
Second oldest of the handmaidens after Sabé
As yet another handmaiden who looks nothing like Padmé (and who is actually a little taller - 5′4″), Eirtaé’s role is languages, tech, and pilot
She grew up in a noble family and can speak dozens of languages and is a fairly accomplished pilot
Eirtaé can communicate extremely well with just her eyes - you know exactly what she’s thinking if she stares you down (best hope it’s she’s not throwing daggers)
Anyone order some pizza?
@theouterrimjob i love u and im writing an essay rn
