Jobal Naberrie was a human female from the planet Naboo. A member of the Naberrie family,[1] she was the mother of Sola Naberrie and Padmé Amidala.[5] Her younger daughter, who was born Padmé Naberrie before assuming the name Amidala, served as queen and later as the representative of their homeworld in the Galactic Senate during final years of the Galactic Republic.[6]
Biography[]
Early life[]
Jobal married a man named Ruwee Naberrie, and they had two daughters, Sola[3] and Padmé Naberrie.[4]
Ruwee and Jobal Naberrie had spent the first years of their lives with their daughters Padmé and Sola helping build a small village hidden in one of Naboo's mountain ranges. A strong-shouldered individual, Ruwee was a skilled builder and an integral part of all construction efforts.
Despite the emotional and physical contributions she and Jobal made to the village during the founding of the house, they both felt that their two young daughters, born there, would benefit from growing up in Theed's cosmopolitan environment. Without remorse, they left the village when their children were still young and went to the capital city of Naboo.
They chose a solid house with an elegant design that Ruwee had admired from the very beginning, and it had seen several generations come and go, witnessing the many changes that Naboo went through. Everything about the home spoke of permanence and reflected Naboo's enduring values of generosity and neighborliness.
It was also the fact that their elder daughter, Sola, lived near her parents and could visit them almost daily. His proximity compensated for the fact that Padmé was such an itinerant politician, and he was happy.[7]
When Padmé turned fourteen, she was elected Queen of Naboo and adopted the name "Padmé Amidala."[4]Successful and well-liked, she served two two-year terms, including during the Invasion of Naboo. Though she'd planned to retire from public life, Padmé was asked by her successor, Réillata, to represent Naboo in the Senate. That same day she informed Ruwee and Jobal of her decision.[8]
In 28 BBY,[9] Jobal's daughter Sola had her first baby, Ryoo, making Jobal a grandmother.[8]
Shortly before the Clone Wars, her daughter Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker visited them.[10]
Death of Padmé[]
In 19 BBY,[11] following the Clone Wars and the execution of Order 66, Jobal, Ruwee and Sola attended the funeral of Padmé after her death at Polis Massa.[2]
Personality and traits[]
Jobal Naberrie had brown hair, brown eyes, and light skin.[2]
Equipment[]
During her daughter's funeral, Jobal wore a black robe and black mourning cloak, with the dark tones reflecting the family's sadness and mourning at Amidala's death.[12]
