Again, for something like the past year or so now, I've taken suggestions from people, looked through fashion magazines (which I normally eschew like the plague) and onlines sites that have wallpapers of models, singers, and actresses, "borrowed" actresses/characters from other films/tv shows I know, searched through the Wiki looking at pictures of actresses and child actresses (looking for actual teenaged actresses to play Apailana's handmaidens and some of Padmé's earlier handmaidens), and in general wracked my brains trying to come up with real life people to use as the visual templates (read: models) for OFC handmaidens and other such Nabooian characters while the storylines for the canon handmaidens grew by leaps and bounds and gained new twists every single time I turned around and my attachment to the Nabooian handmaidens (and strong female characters of SW in general) got reinforced a great deal
by a Christmas present from a wonderful online friend by the name of
aruna7 (a genius of a vidder who, once again, along with
so-out-of-ideas, is co-creator of the AU SW 'verse usually referred to as either One Path or The Kenobi Way, an Obidala AU 'verse that's so well thought out, so lovingly created and intricately detailed, and so true to the spirit of SW and the heroic soul of GFFA and the message (of hope and good triumphing over evil in the end because of the hopes and dreams and perseverance and sacrifices of good people) that's carried by the film saga, that it is essentially responsible for me falling in love with the character who, frankly, had been number two on my SW shite list, just below Sidious/Palpatine and just above Tarkin on my personal list of people the GFFA would be entirely better off without - the character who happens to be none other than Padmé Amidala Naberrie - and thereafter taking a good long hard look at her and the people around her in the films, which in turn impacted the ideas that I'd already had floating about in my head regarding the handmaidens and Nabooian culture in general).
aruna7 knows that I think the women in SW are underrated and underwritten and so she made me this absolutely beautiful fanvid for the women of the SW films for Christmas, and I will be the first to admit that, though a lot of my mental framework for Nabooian culture and the way that being a handmaiden works was already pretty much in place in my mind and a lot of my handmaiden choices were already made as of late last winter/early last spring, I've still been influenced in my thinking about Naboo and the handmaidens (if in no other way than by a reinforcement of my love for all the characters of handmaidens and all the strong women of SW) by receiving and watching (and adoring!) her vid. So again, if anyone ever wonders if I'm at all influenced by other SW fans and certain fanon phenomena (aside from being influenced by my wonderful idea beta,
fancyspinner, and also
cariel, who's let me "borrow" and modify some of her ideas specifically for Dormé and Sabé [which I consider to be a part of fanon lore in that particular AU neck of the fandom woods and therefore extremely important to acknowledge in my AU neck of the fandom woods], including some that she developed with her occasional co-writer
bloodraven77 [who, as I've been recently informed, is largely resposible for the initial creation of Sabé Nabish and is the voice of Anakin Skywalker in all of the Dormékin AUs that have been co-written by her and
cariel]), people need look no further than those two!
The body of this post essentially picks up immediately from the point where the LJ told me that the previous post was going to go over its word/character limit!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Dormé:
(Keeping in mind, at least generally speaking, that Dormé is portrayed in canon by Rose Judith Esther Byrne, born July 24, 1979, brown hair and eyes, 5' 6¼" [1.68 m])
*This will eventually be in addition to two Jedi bodyguards/teachers, Annasharia Kyminda (modelled on Simone Bailly) and Réaldia Hurcanys (modelled on Frida Betrani).
This is in addition to the four handmaidens already inherited from Padmé at the end of my Thwarting the Revenge of the Sith trio (which makes fifty total)! Please note that entries with ** next to them are handmaidens who will be inherited from the last two training classes of handmaidens meant for Padmé.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the previously posted list of handmaidens seems excessively long, please keep in mind the following:
1.) I may change my mind about certain choices, if presented with someone better or if the muse decides that it didn't like a potential story-line and decides to throw it over in the pursuit of something else. I have also included some extra possibilities on the off chance that the muse decides that someone fits another role better. In other words, some of these people may end up getting shifted from one part of the overall list to another or else used as visual models for different people altogether (maybe even people who aren't from Naboo) before all's said and done. I'm just trying to keep track of all of the possibilities and sort them as I can, right now.
2.) Padmé was Queen for eight years after having become persona non gratia to the Trade Federation and its allies, including a certain rather vindictive Sith Lord, and then she went on to be Senator for five going on six years afterwards, three going on four of them during a galactic-wide civil war started by said Sith Lord and his tools, including the Trade Federation and its allies. And the Trade Federation and its allies tend to be the kind who hold grudges and who tend to believe that places/people who've been problematic in the past will continue to be problematic in the future and so should be treated as enemies at all times. That includes not only the young Queen who helped to foil their plans for Naboo, but Naboo and all of its peoples (human and Gungan) as well. And you may want to keep in mind that these are the same people who plant a bomb that takes out two of Padmé's handmaidens and who knows how many Nabooian personnel at the beginning of AotC and who also use a very nasty form of biological warfare to essentially wipe out an entire colony on one of Naboo's moons during the Clone Wars. These are not the kind of people who care a great deal about innocent bystanders or collateral damage, folks! Also, it should be noted that Padmé "shared" handmaidens with Sabé while Sabé was working for her as the interim Senator from Naboo for the Chommell Sector, after Palpatine's election as Supreme Chancellor, and then as the elected Senator, when the term she was finishing for Palpatine had run its course. This led to a somewhat higher rate of loss, as the handmaidens were essentially running twice the risk, working for two different ladies, both of whom were hated by the Trade Federation for having pulled off the deception that led to the Viceroy's capture and helped hasten the end of their occupation of Naboo.
3.) Jamillia may have only been Queen for four years, but about a year and a half of her term was also during the above mentioned rather nasty galactic-wide civil war. Also, it's been noted in the WiP that she lost every single fully trained handmaiden she had, save one, before the end of her term, and that, by then, handmaiden teams had been increased from the ten originally planned for when Captain Panaka revived the tradition after Padmé's first election as Queen to twenty. My muse insists that, after only a few largely unsuccessful attacks over much of the first three years of her four-year term, back-to-back-to-back attacks culminating in a massive terrorist-style bombing literally wiped out her entire coterie and very nearly ended her own life about a year before her term ended (which caused some last minute scrambling to find and promote enough women - most of them largely untrained, some of them from among the ranks of handmaiden trainees meant for Padmé - who'd be able to at least pretend to be the Queen's handmaidens until the end of that term), after which a biological agent meant for the then current Princess of Theed (Apailana) essentially took out Jamillia's rebuilt coterie right before the election (along with the former Princess of Theed who'd been serving as the sort of interim Queen, while Jamillia recovered from her own injuries, Jelena Neeyutnee, also known as the Banriosa), with the remainder of those handmaidens being absorbed back into the ranks of Padmé's handmaidens afterwards. Hence, the rather high number of handmaidens and borrowed handmaids listed.
4.) Apailana may've only been Queen for about two years, but it's been noted in Thwarting the Revenge of the Sith that the reason handmaiden teams have been increased from the ten originally planned for when Captain Panaka agreed to revive the tradition after Padmé's first election as Queen to twenty fully trained handmaidens on hand and ready for duty at all time is due to the fact that, by then, attacks have begun to take handmaidens out in groups. According to the muse, that means anywhere from two or three at a time all the way up to a full training class of twenty. (Yeah, I know, I know. I'm not particularly happy about it either! But you know what they say about war. And Naboo's war started like Obi-Wan and Anakin's did - not with the events of AotC, but with the events of TPM. Keep these things in mind, please, before you protest.)
5.) It is now customary for the Queen of Naboo and the Senator from Naboo to have backups/replacements constantly in training, due to the high volume of handmaiden losses over the course of the war and etc. There is almost always at least one full class of new handmaidens being trained both per Senator and per Queen, with those who have completed their training before they are needed being rotated out through the Royal Naboo Guard and/or used as relief for tried and tested handmaidens who may very well need a bit of downtime. Thus, in addition to the twenty always on staff per Queen and Senator, the Queen and the Senator will generally have another four, eight, twelve, or more fully trained but largely untried handmaidens who are essentially on call for immediate promotion to full handmaiden status if needed. This is yet another precautionary measure, in large part necessitated by the increasing violence of the Clone Wars.
Oh, and by the way, before anyone panics, thinking that I'm going to be writing stories for every single handmaiden, please rest assured that I have no intention of trying to write extensively about every single person who passes through my AU GFFA. My handmaid(en)s absolutely are not, in any way, shape, or form, intended to be redshirt characters, but they are the last line of defense between all enemies and their sworn ladies, and many of them either gained their posts in the aftermath of a thwarted attempt to conquer their planet, during a very nasty galactic-wide civil war, or in the immediate and somewhat chaotic aftermath of said civil war, the ending of which myriad very nasty people are going to be taking . . . issue with. As with Jedi and other such combat-trained personnel, there is a certain tendency for them to die as soliders and protectors of others. Given the brutality of the war and the sheer number of losses suffered, I'm afraid that most of these girls/young women simply won't be much more than either names on a memorial for the fallen and/or faces/names on personal lists of the lost mentally kept by the survivors or else supporting/background characters who pass (often quite briefly) through the lives of the other main characters. Still, despite that, I fully expect that anywhere from a handful to a dozen to twenty of them at the very least per ruler and/or Senator of Naboo (given that Padmé has ten handmaidens named and actively present - however briefly - in the canon plot of the prequels, with eleven named/actively present if you go by the EU) will be getting a short story that in some way touches on events in the newly completely trio or will work as either additional background for or even a part of the rewrite of TPM that I've got planned. Some of the others will likely end up with short stories of their own after the trio's sequel(s) get written. (Maybe.) Others will end up having a lot of their personal stories explained in the prequel(s) I have planned for my Thwarting the Revenge of the Sith trio, which are to take place during the time frames covered by TPM and AotC in the canon. And other such characters still will probably just receive what I've come to think of as character sketches, which is, in essence, what amounts to a compressed outline for what could be a longer work, where important scenes from a character's life have been boiled down to quick responses to a given set of writing prompts. (Readers wishing to see an example of such a character sketch should consider "Snapshots of Padmé Amidala's Life, After ObiWan"
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3693656/1/Snapshots_of_Padm_Amidalas_Life_After_ObiWan and the AU version of the Dormé from my AU series who is in "Dormé in Darkness"
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4011911/1/Dorm_in_Darkness please!) I may or may not eventually devote the time needed to sketch out each individual handmaiden/Nabooian character in a way that involves much more than a small set of connected ficlets based on an extremely limited set of prompts. We'll just have to see how things go, when I get around to the actual prequels/sequels . . .

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1224302/ Versé Rhisiart’s older sister, Ansia Rhisiart, as Paz Vega
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0891895/ Note (semi-spoilerish): The character modelled on the twin sister of Lindsay Labrum, Anise Labrum, is not a handmaid(en) due to the fact that she, as the elder of the two characters, felt obliged to carry out various familial obligations and so refrained from joining her sister in swearing vows to the Queen as a handmaiden. After the death of her sister (protecting someone she thought was the Queen but who was actually only a decoy Queen), she became very embittered, and so will likely figure in one of the trio's sequels as a bad guy or an accessory/tool of some sort. I'll sort out a name for her eventually.
Note: Somewhat like it is here on Earth (only with fewer darker-haired individuals overall), roughly eighty percent of the human population of Naboo is naturally brunette - about forty-five percent have brown hair and about thirty-give percent have hair that is naturally truly black. Of the twenty percent of the remaining human population, perhaps five percent are true blondes, while the remaining fifteen percent are either redheads or else have enough red in their hair to be auburn or strawberry blonde rather than brunette or just blonde. Blondes and redheads are rare enough that it often strikes people as odd that, of the past eleven Princesses of Theed, only Padmé, Crissé (Christina Ricci), Ayesha Jamillia, Astarté (Keri Russell), Jelena (Banriosa) Neeyutnee (Stephanie Leonidas), and Keiana Apailana were or are brunette, while Ellie (Madison Lloyd), Chanté (Anna Chlumsky), Shesha (Bonita Granville), Solei (Jane Asher), and Quianna/Kylantha (Evan Rachel Wood) all were or are either blonde (Ellie, Chanté, Kylantha), redheaded (Solei), or (in Shesha's case) some mix of the two.
PRINCESSES OF THEED, SINCE PADMÉ:
**Ellie Skye: Madison Lloyd (it may help to visualize Gemma Ward for the grown up Ellie)
*Chanté Cielle: Anna Chlumsky
*Shesha Grandin: Bonita Granville
Crissé Ricanté: Christina Ricci (who later became a handmaiden for Padmé and died in that capacity)
Ayesha Jamillia Zyanya: Ayesha Dharker
Astarté Russe: Keri Russell (who later became a handmaiden for Padmé and died in that capacity)
**Solei Rishima: Jane Asher
***Jelena (Banriosa) Neeyutnee: Stephanie Leonidas
***Keiana Apailana Adrasteia: Keisha Castle-Hughes
****(Kylantha) Quianna Alcmene: Laura Prepon
*Killed in office (served approximately nine months, and one year, and about one and a half a months, respectively).
**Injured while in office badly enough to need to retire from office in order to recover (after not quite a full two-year term, and after approximately three months, respectively).
***When Queen Jamillia is badly injured in a bomb blast that essentially wipes out the whole of her handmaiden corps, the current Princess of Theed (Jelena Neeyutnee, who is awarded the honorary title of Banriosa) is elected as a temporary acting/interim Queen, with a new Princess of Theed (Keiana Adrasteia) being elected to fill in for her and, eventually, to replace her outright, when she is eventually killed, right before Queen Jamillia is well enough to take over her duties again as the elected monarch of Naboo.
****Kylantha is the name given in the EU for the Queen of Naboo after Apailana, meaning that this is a regnal name (like Amidala and Jamillia and Apailana all are) that hasn't been earned yet. So please don't be surprised if I refer to Kylantha as Quianna from now on. Quianna is the current Princess of Theed, as of the end of the Thwarting the Revenge of the Sith trio!
(And yes, I realize that Adrastia "Tia" Organa's name is very close to Keiana Apailana's last name of Adrasteia. Just take it as yet another sign that the people Naboo and the people of Alderaan are related, okay? I also know that "cielle" is not how you spell "sky" in French, y'all. I'm just weird and I prefer it this way, alright?)
As mentioned in the Thwarting the Revenge of the Sith trio, Surana Barakis, a handmaiden and body double for first Chanté and then Ellie, is modelled on a blonde, blue-eyed version (think of the character Sue Storm) of Jessica Alba. (This is why Lyxé Barakis' name indicates that she is the second-born girl-child in her family.)
Similarities in the spelling of last names among the handmaidens indicate blood relations. Sometimes sisters will be trained as handmaidens for the same person (or, in very rare cases, for two different people), but generally the Queens and Senators of Naboo try to avoid taking more than one person per immediate family for training as a handmaiden or guard, given the high mortality rate of both professions, the rarity of large families on Naboo (given the difficulty often involved in gaining them), and the importance of family on Naboo. Thus, unless specifically stated to be sisters, handmaid(en)s who share the same last name are more likely to be cousins than sibs.

When Lucas came up with the names for his major characters in SW, they were generally created to evoke certain associations with similar names/words or else were just flat-out picked for the significance/meaning attached to that specific name/word. I've been worrying off and on for a while about a possible regnal name for a certain future Queen of Naboo in my SW AU series (as I'm sure some of y'all will know), because I want her to have a name that fits in with this pattern of significance. So. After much long thought, I've arrived at a possibility that I think I actually like for Sabé Dahn's regnal name: Kandala'mikama. It's quite a bit longer than the other regnal names of known Queens of Naboo in both the films and the EU, but then, Sabé is going to be a Queen unlike any that they have had lately - a Queen of a slightly more mature age, chosen for her wisdom and experience, rather than her believed innocence/purity. The name has been chosen for four reasons: it fits a similar pattern of names for both Padmé Amidala and Shmi Skywalker (look up various associations with the padma or sacred water lily [i.e., lotus blossom] and the goddess Lakshmi, if you don't believe me); it basically contains the name of Kamala ("she of the lotus," which is a common epithet of goddess Lakshmi); it essentially contains the name of Kamalatmika (the goddess Devi in the fullness of her graceful aspect - i.e., shown as seated on a lotus, symbol of both purity and the life force that pervades creation); and it also contains most of the word that is the sacred mandala (i.e., a circle metaphysically/symobolically representing the cosmos, a microcosm of the universe from the human perspective), a symbol that is often employed as a sort of spiritual teaching tool for focusing the attention of aspirants and adepts, either by helping them establish a sacred space or as an aid to meditation and trance induction, and which has ties to the chakra (as in, the divine circle or wheel, which in turn ties to the notion of the wheel of history/time, which I think is a concept that would be not unfamiliar to those in the GFFA who make a study of the Force). (Note: In Buddhism, the lotus is sacred not only because it transcends the darkness of the water and mud where its roots are, but also because of its perfectly symmetrical petals, which resemble a mandala). This name may or may not be shortened in everyday use. I haven't quite come to a decision on that, yet. I get the feeling that regnal names are tied in to the Force-centered spirituality that pervades Nabooian culture, in which case a Queen might or might not be given more than one name, as time passes, as a sort of epithet (in the metaphoric sense, essentially as a reduced or condensed appositive either attached to a person's name or given in place of a proper name, as what might be described as a glorified nickname meant to specifically conjure up a certain quality/attribute of said person) . . .
In keeping with
cariel's and
bloodraven77's vision of Dormé, it looks like Dormé regnal name (or at the very least the core of her regnal name), as a Senator for Naboo and the Chommell Sector, is going to be Innana.

Nabooian characters who have recently cast and for whom I'd appreciate it if anyone has any input/suggestions, as my brain is only semi-functional right now:
1.) Palo Tilera, Padmé's first ever crush, described as "a dear sweet boy . . . who, having apparently gotten more than enough of politics during his time in the Legislative Youth Program, moved on with his life to become an accomplished artist, in Theed" and as being "very cute . . . dark curly hair . . . [with] dreamy eyes" in AotC.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/PaloTentatively cast as Paul Campbell
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1353748/ 2.) Ian Lago, Padmé's first serious boyfriend, the son of King Veruna’s Prime Counsellor of State, Kun Lago, who threatened to disown his son for "consorting" with King Veruna’s most visible political enemy (the then still Princess of Theed) until Padmé finally broke the relationship off, certain that she could not, as the newly elected Queen of Naboo, risk such a potential political liability as a relationship with the son of the former Prime Counsellor of the newly abdicated (Veruna having chosen abdication over being forced to resign, on charges of corruption and incompetence) King of Naboo. Ian is described as "a tall youth, with lovely bright red hair, the most shockingly beautiful indigo eyes (dark blue from one angle or in one kind of light and violet in the next), and a mouth simply made for kissing," a description I mostly based off his appearance in the EU.

http://images.wikia.com/harrypotter/images/d/d5/Ronald_Weasley.jpg 3.) Kun Lago, King Veruna’s prime counselor and the father of Ian Lago, who is rather oddly depicted as being bald and dark-eyed and somewhat short and heavy-set, from what I can tell, in the EU drawings I've seen of him.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kun_LagoTentatively cast as Telly Savalas
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001699/ 4.) Ian Lago's older half-brother, Graehme, described by Sola as "a rather illegitimate older half-brother, conceived from a dalliance that violated the terms of his father’s contract with Ian’s mother and would have caused a horrible scandal for old Kun Lago, if it had ever become widely known. Graehme, as it happens, was quite keen on keeping that little fact a secret, so he could continue to receive the tidy sum of hush money that daddy dearest sent to him every year" and used by the Sith (and possibly also by Sola) against Padmé at least once, on account of his resemblance to Obi-Wan Kenobi. (See Thwarting the Revenge of the Sith Book III: The Promise of a New Order, chapter four, for more details regarding this.)
Tentatively cast as a young (think 18-20ish) and very red-headed David Wenham

Tentatively named Elindca Reddai Lago and cast as Angelica Bridges
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004774/mediaindex 6.) Kun Lago's unnamed (former) mistress.
Tentatively named Larenda Kelson and cast as Karen Elson
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1083264/ *Originally, I wasn't sure that the wives (and family) of Dormé's mother's two cousins would ever be cast, seeing as how they were for their crimes not only ruined but legally banished from Naboo, their names and rights to the planet legally stripped from them and their name - and so also the name of Illyn's blood family, the Jaffa clan - ritually blacked out of the records of Naboo, recorded only in the infamous book of traitors and exiles. To distance herself from all that had happened to her, Illyn (Dormé's mother) gave up all right to her own family name and demanded that it never be spoken where she could hear it. However, I made the decision to cast these characters when I chose to write about Illyn. Thus, tentatively, the wives of Illyn's cousins can be pictured as Virginie Ledoyen
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001461/mediaindex and Audrey Tautou
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0851582/mediaindex and the wives' parents (the couple who took Dormé's mother and her two cousins in) can be pictured as Anjelica Huston
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001378/mediaindex and Jeroen Krabbé
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0469103/ Tentative names for these characters are as follows: Rusilla and Marrité for the sisters who marry Illyn's two cousins and Remilla and Jherumee Ginborjo for their parents.For more on Illyn and for an explanation of the characters and such listed in the section with Dormé's siblings, please see the following post to the LJ, where I have explained some of the differences I know exist between my AU's Dormé and Sabé and the Sabé and Dormé of
cariel's various Sobiwan and Dormékin AU fanfics:

Nabooian characters I am honestly not all that sure should exist, no matter what the new animated television series about the Clone Wars and materials relating to that tv series claim:
1.) Queen Neeyutnee of Naboo (who will not precisely be a Queen, in my AU, so much as someone temporarily elected as a sort of interim/acting Queen, while Jamillia is recouperating from terrible injuries caused by a bad bomb blast).
