She is portrayed by Natalie Portman in the prequel trilogy and voiced by Catherine Taber in The Clone Wars.
Fanon & Tropes
- The name Arcadia was commonly used before any details about Padmé's character were confirmed. It is used in Shadowstar #24 and Snowfire #1, among many other fanworks.
- Padmé was brainwashed/Force-controlled into her relationship with Anakin.
- Padmé Amidala Lives, or at least lived past her death in Revenge of the Sith (e.g. her death was faked) to account for Leia's comments in Return of the Jedi about remembering her mother.
- Empress Padmé assumes the throne, often after Anakin has killed the former Emperor. In some works where she rules with Vader at her side, these works overlap with Dark!Padmé fics.
- Force-sensitive Padmé is sometimes used to explain the inclusion of Padmé as a force ghost, appearing to her children or other force users. Other works focus on Jedi Padmé Amidala.
- Sith Padmé Amidala works also portray Padmé as a force user, and in these works it is sometimes she who manipulated Anakin into their relationship.
