Ruwee Réillata Veruna, (formally styled as ‘Her Excellency Ambassador Veruna’) was a Nabooian politician and diplomat serving during the Force Eternal era. Having previously served a single two-year term as Queen of Naboo in her early teens, Ruwee, now in her late sixties, spent much of her time in the diplomatic world, where she had served as an ambassador, spokesperson, and more, throughout her life.
Biography
Ruwee was born into a political family; her father serving as a member of the Naboo Royal Court, and her mother a serving ambassador for the planet's intergalactic diplomacy corp. A talented child, Ruwee attended tHE Royal Academy of Theed, and from there was identified by the powers that be to have the required attributes and skills to stand as a candidate for the forthcoming election as the next Monarch of Naboo. With sizable backing and support from her family and their political connections, she was successful, and at the young age of fourteen, she was to become the Queen of her people, and bear the responsibility that came with it.
Hers was an unremarkable tenure, seeing little more than the general continuation of the established norms on Naboo, exactly as her sponsors had hoped.
As such, it came as little surprise when she failed to be elected for a second two-year term, failing to secure the required votes, and even being dropped by some of her backers following her making a speech interpreted as a deviation from their agreed program of ‘business as usual’. Her tenure concluded, Ruwee continued with her studied, before joining the Refugee Relief Movement and the Legislative Youth Program. In these roles she found something of a home for herself, and as she grew into the position, she put her unsuccessful past behind her, focusing instead on the future. Leveraging her connections, she was to secure herself a posting as a diplomatic envoy in her early twenties, and work her way up from there.
By her late thirties she was to move to the position of Ambassador, serving within the office of the Naboo Diplomatic Corp to the Senate of the Republic itself, a position she holds to this day.
Marrying into another Naboo family in her late twenties, the House Réillata, Ruwees husband, an energy magnate of considerable means, she was to have two children, both daughters, who followed their parents paths. Corde, the eldest, went into the diplomatic service, with Sande, the youngest, heading into the world of business like her father. Now a well-established matriarch of the Naboo, Ruwee is no longer a public figure, her fame having famed many years ago, and instead occupies the position of a cast-iron member of the establishment, a consummate diplomat and political operator, willing to go to whatever lengths necessary to advance and preserve the interest of her homeworld.
Personality and Traits
Belonging to a longstanding dynasty of politicians on Naboo, the Veruna family boasts a sizable number of monarchs, senators and businesspersons, and as such, Ruwee was under pressure to live up to the expectations of her family from the word go. Raised to strive for the very best she can be, Ruwee is an ambitious individual, but fiercely loyal to her homeworld and the ideals it stands for.
An elegant woman, Ruwee takes pride in her appearance, and mannerisms, often relying on the charm offensive to win people over at the first instance. However, this somewhat clashes with other aspects of her personality, as, having been around for some time, she is fully aware the galaxy can be a nasty place, capable of horrendous things. Prone to swearing, and taking underhand actions when needed, Ruwee is a consummate political operator, willing to go to whatever lengths are needed to get the job done.
Ambitious, Ruwee knows her own talents, and is fully aware that in order to use them, she has to be in the correct position to do so. She firmly believes she is the best in her field, and combined with her stubbornness and analytical eye, she is able to work behind the scenes, with all manner of shadowy figures, to get the job done.
Equipment
A woman of means, Ruwee travels the galaxy in a J-Type Diplomatic Barge, and owns a palatial estate in the Lake Country of Naboo. She does not make use of weapons, and as such does not carry one about her person.
