    PRINCESS LEIA
    Leia Organa, adopted daughter of Bail Organa, viceroy of the doomed planet of Alderaan, has a complicated—some would say convoluted—family tree. Her birth mother (see page 101) split Leia and her twin brother up at a young age, raising Leia herself, until her own death.
    Leia was a born leader, and became a senator at a very young age, striving to help her people, whom she saw as oppressed by the Imperial government. An active member in the rebellion against galaxian emperor Palpatine, Leia little expected to be captured and held a political prisoner by a man who would later turn out to be her own father… or that she would be rescued by a man who later turned out to be her own brother. Or that she would fall in love with a smuggler with a heart of gold, and later be forced to wear a slave-girl outfit while serving drinks to that same smuggler’s mortal enemy, Jabba the Hutt….

    [I had to cut Michael off here. His thing on Princess Leia went on and on! Who knew there was so much to say about her?]
    Mia’s Random Act of Princess:
    Be like Leia: Experiment with new hairstyles! You’ll never know what looks good on you until you’ve tried a lot of different looks. Who knows? Maybe the real you is all about buns on either side of your head! Even if you do something as radical as shaving all your hair off, or dying it pink, no worries: The great thing about hair is, it grows back!
    QUEEN AMIDALA, OR PADMÉ, PRINCESS LEIA’S MOTHER
    Amidala, also known as Padmé Naberrie, was elected queen of her planet at the age of fourteen. Some might say it was unwise of the people of her planet to elect such a young queen. To them I say… didn’t you see her in Attack of the Clones? She looked totally hot in that white pantsuit. I mean… What I meant to say was, Queen Amidala served her term on the throne and later became a senator, serving her people wisely and well, until that Hayden Christensen guy came along and messed it all up—

    [I had to cut Michael off AGAIN! He was getting kind of wound up… the same way he gets about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only worse.]
    Mia’s Random Act of Princess:
    Be like Padmé: Don’t wear whatever style is “in” just because everyone else is doing it. Find what looks best on you, whether it’s long and flowing or sporty and formfitting. Don’t let the in crowd dictate what goes on your body. Choose the look that you feel comfortable with—and look good in.
    PRINCESS AMELIA MIGNONETTE GRIMALDI THERMOPOLIS RENALDO
    Mia Thermopolis, also known as Princess Amelia Renaldo, only came recently to the throne of her native land, Genovia, but has already made great strides in rectifying many social problems affecting the tiny nation, including the crippling parking problem there (by implementing parking meters). Mia has also cleaned up the Port of Genovia and decreased the incidence of sea mammals getting their snouts caught in plastic six-pack holders by almost 60 percent.
    Mia continues to show great promise in an area that used to trouble her greatly: Algebra. She is funny and smart, and, though she doesn’t necessarily agree, is also totally gorgeous, and looks great no matter what she’s got on, overalls or ball gown. Plus, her kindness and generosity to others knows no bounds. Which is why I love her.

    TRUE LOVE 4-EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
    Michael’s Random Act of Princess:
    Be like Mia: Don’t litter or smoke, and try to walk, ride your bike, or take public transportation instead of burning more of our precious natural resources. And spit your gum out in the nearest trash receptacle: Birds can be attracted to the color if you spit it on the ground, and they eat your gum and get their beaks stuck shut and starve to death.
