Why this must be read:
As some of you may have noticed, I adore Star Wars fics that explore the parent/child relationship or lack thereof in the Skywalker family. This fic accomplishes that exploration when the parent half of the equation is missing. In essence, the author asks a simple question: which of her biological parents does Leia take after? The answer should be obvious, and this fic supplies that answer in a unique way.
I find it fascinating that Luke is constantly compared to his father in the movies when it is his mother he truly resembles in personality. Likewise, though she inherited her mother's looks, Leia Organa's temperament and outlook on life are all Anakin. This very short story shows some of the ways in which Leia is very much her father's daughter. Highly recommended.
* * *
Sometimes she worries her tutors.
She is a stubborn and precocious little princess -- traits that might be very welcome if only she could be pulled away from the shiny speeder bikes. There is something about her that has always loved heights and motion. When her agemates shy away from balconies, she runs to the railing and scrambles against the bars until she's all but overbalancing. It drives her silent, ever-present bodyguard to distraction.
The only thing she loves more than her precious speeders is a good argument, because she is stubborn, after all. She is a born politician -- or possibly a born attorney, according to less charitable rumors -- and there is something about her that is intense and uncompromising and utterly undiplomatic. Her sharply defined rights and wrongs are defended in the face of all resistance.
"There are shades of gray," Bail says in a quiet voice, as if he were addressing something above and beyond one stubborn five-year-old.
She considers and says, "Not always."
