BiographyEdit

Similarly to her sister Ryoo who was named after their mother's maternal grandmother, Pooja received the name of her father's maternal grandmother. As a child, she was considered to be very talkative and like many other young children, she seemed to have a new idea for what she wanted to be when she grew up every week and often spoke of being a Senator, a teacher, a starfighter pilot, a tusk cat trainer, and even an astromech droid. It is said that she, like her sister, had a crush on Anakin Skywalker, the future husband of their aunt, when he visited and she also liked playing games with him and asked a lot of questions.

Pooja, along with the rest of the Naberrie family and thousands of other Naboo, attended her aunt Padmé's funeral shortly after the Clone Wars ended.

In 6 BBY, at age 20, Pooja was appointed representative of Naboo's sector in the Imperial Senate four years before the Galactic Civil War by Queen Kylantha, succeeding Senator Binks. This made her a colleague of her cousin, Leia Organa, the Senator of Alderaan, and the two became good friends, completely unaware of their familial relationship. She would hold the position of Senator until the Imperial Senate's dissolution in 0 BBY.

Pooja was a secret Rebel sympathizer, but also a great supporter of the Queen.

Around 36 ABY, Leia met with Pooja and told her about her discovery that Padmé was her mother, and that the two of them were cousins. She recounted to Leia her recollections of Anakin Skywalker.^[2]
