NABOO ROYAL HANDMAIDENS → “The base requirement for handmaidens of course, is a physical resemblance to the Queen. However, a successful candidate must also pass a battery of rigorous tests that try every facet of her personality and skills.
Thirteen handmaidens are on duty in the palace at all times, and five travel with Amidala whenever she leaves Naboo. In addition to serving as bodyguard for Amidala and watching for possible threats to her life, each handmaiden is fully capable of standing in for the Queen should the situation require a decoy.” ♕
