History: Leia’s birth into the universe was just as difficult and complex as her future would turn out to be. Unknown to her, she was the daughter of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, a hero in the Clone Wars and during the twilight days of the Republic, and Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo, who died giving birth to her and her twin brother Luke, whom she also had no clue existed.
Shortly after her mother’s death, her and her twin were separated. She was taken to Alderaan by Senator Bail Organa, who had opted to take her with him to his wife, and promised to care for her and love her as their daughter. He kept his word.
The orphaned daughter of the Naboo Senator and a fallen Jedi Knight was given a loving home within the House of Organa, one of the Galaxy's so-called Ancient Houses. Her adoptive parents couldn't have children of their own, so Leia became the heir of the Royal House of Alderaan. Silya Shessaun, a mentor and a friend of Amidala, assisted in her upbringing, as did Bail Organa's three sisters Tia, Rouge, and Celly, whom Leia described as "three redoubtable dowagers" who "made her girlhood an intermittent burden."
Although the Organas weren't trying to hide the fact that Leia was adopted, they never informed the Princess of her true parentage, nor did they reveal the existence of her twin brother. However, during the short time between her birth and her mother's death, Leia gained a faint memory of her mother as a beautiful and kind, yet sad woman
The Princess grew up with the two years older Winter, an orphaned daughter of one of Bail Organa's aides. Ever since being adopted by the Organa family, Winter was Leia's best friend and companion. With a natural grace and poise, she was often mistaken for the Princess of Alderaan by court visitors, while the tomboy Leia was regarded as a domestic girl
Leia showed promise in politics and from early on, Bail Organa began grooming her to one day succeed him in the Imperial Senate, encouraging her to attend Alderaanian debates and palace receptions for offworld personnel. In this Leia unknowingly followed the footsteps of her late birth mother, who had entered politics at an early age and became a Senator. Indeed, Leia resembled Padmé Amidala in many ways: she was confident, poised and a had a quick political wit.
Bail Organa stepped down as Senator of Alderaan, a position he had held for thirty-one years, and Leia took his place. The day her father retired, Leia told him that she knew about the Rebellion, and that she wanted to make a difference together with him. A keen political thinker, Leia knew that her diplomatic immunity and consular ship would be perfect for running covert missions for the Alliance. Bail agreed, and thus began Leia's double life as a Senator and a Rebel
