[[caption-width-right:300:''"I feel like because I can fight, I have to--for those who cannot."'']]

-->''"I don't know who you are or where you came from, but from now on you'll do as I tell you, okay?"''

Born on the asteroid Polis Massa, Leia was seperated from her twin brother Luke in order to keep them safe from the Empire. Adopted by Senator Bail and Queen Breha of [[DoomedHometown Alderaan]], she became the princess and senator of her adopted homeworld and a leading member of the Rebel Alliance. [[ActionGirl Strong]] and beautiful, Princess Leia catches the eye of Han Solo, and an interesting relationship blossoms between the two. Luke eventually discovers that she's his twin sister, and believes that she has the potential to become a powerful Jedi in the future.
----
* ActionGirl: Leia [[StormingTheCastle fights her way out of the Death Star]], chokes Jabba to death with her own chains and joins the Rebel strike team for their mission on the Forest Moon of Endor.
-->'''Leia:''' Somebody's got to save our skins!
* {{Ambadassador}}: Just like her mother, Padmé, she's also a diplomat, who's not afraid to getting in on the action.
* BadassInDistress: She is a prisoner of the Empire for a large amount of the first movie, but during this time she is able to resist their torture techniques and refuses to give up the location of the Rebels' main base, even when threatened with the destruction of her home planet for refusing to do so. After Luke, Han, and Chewie break her out of prison, she plays a leading role in her own rescue mission and helps the team escape the Death Star. In return of the Jedi she is captured by Jabba, but again plays a critical role in the team's escape and kills Jabba in the process.
* BadassNormal: In the Original Trilogy. Leia has her moments, notably in her first encounter with Vader where she not only lies to his face, but talks to him like he's an idiot. She later strangles Jabba to death. When she reflects on that moment in ''Bloodline'', Leia realizes that she may have tapped into the dark side to draw the strength necessary to choke a Hutt to death.
* BadassPrincess: The first thing she does in ''A New Hope''? Shooting a [[{{Mooks}} stormtrooper]] in cold blood.
* BattleCouple: With Han throughout the Original Trilogy.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: In ''A New Hope''. When imprisoned on the Death Star, Vader turns up to interrogate Leia with a droid fairly bristling with syringes. As the the door closes on them, it's clear that she's about to be tortured for information. And yet the next time we see her, she looks perfectly fine, without so much as a puncture wound or a hair out of place.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Han.
* BigDamnKiss: With [[BelligerentSexualTension Han]] ''and'' [[IncestSubtext Luke]].
* BigShutUp: Leia to C-3PO after he's about to tell the odds for a second time in ''The Empire Strikes Back''.
* BigWhat: After finding out that despite her (feigned) cooperation, Tarkin intends to destroy Alderaan anyway.
* BraidsOfAction: In ''Return of the Jedi''.
* BriefAccentImitation: ''Bloodline'' confirms that Leia developed a brief British accent while meeting Tarkin on the Death Star as a mockery of his aristocratic accent.
* BrotherSisterTeam: With Luke, her twin brother.
* BrownEyes: Like her mother, Padmé, a physical trait she shares with her.
* TheChick: She is the ActionGirl variation. Leia is in firefights in all of the films in the Original Trilogy, and tries to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, later killing Jabba by herself.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: "Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, your highness." Though she was pointedly critiquing their lack of planning rather than something irrelevant. Interestingly, Han in turn gripes about the results of Leia subsequently pulling their fat out of the fire — granted, they're in a dianoga-infested trash compactor.
* CommandingCoolness: Although she is typically referred to by her royal title, her official military rank in the Rebellion is commander.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She remembers her mother's death (despite being only a baby at the time) and saw her adoptive homeworld destroyed as a YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo.
* DeadpanSnarker: Leia is one of the most snarky and sarcastic characters in the series.
* DeathFakedForYou: See Luke. Done to protect them from Palpatine.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Towards Tarkin in ''A New Hope''.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Her relationship with Han in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' is an example, as she starts out rather icy to him but by the end, is declaring her love for him.
* DoomedHometown: Her home planet of Alderaan due to an EarthShatteringKaboom.
* TheDutifulDaughter: Luke sees Leia as this, as Leia was a part of The Rebellion while he was on Tatooine.
* EtTuBrute: Her reaction to Lando being forced to sell out Han to Vader, so that Cloud City will not be invaded.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The plot of the series could have been exactly the same were Leia not a Princess (the princess of a planet that [[DoomedHometown is brutally destroyed]]), and yet she is. It doesn't hurt that she is proof that AuthorityEqualsAsskicking - when Luke comes with Han and Chewie to break her out of jail, she takes charge of her own rescue and gets them safely out of the prison block.
* FanDisservice: That ChainmailBikini she wore in ''Return of the Jedi''? Out of context, it looks like ordinary fanservice, but in context, she didn't wear it by choice. Not only did [[FatBastard Jabba the Hutt]] force her to wear it, she was Jabba's [[GoGoEnslavement slave at the time]] and was to be kept at his side at all times until he felt like disposing of her. Wearing that outfit was a humiliation from her perspective.
* ForcedToWatch: Leia is forced to watch Alderaan's, her home planet, destruction.
* GenerationXerox: Leia's very similar to her mother, Padmé, in lots of other ways, being a PoliticallyActivePrincess, RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething ActionGirl. However, while in looks and career choice, Leia and Luke resemble the same sex parent, in personality and temperament, Leia is much more like Anakin and Luke like Padmé. Indeed, Luke and Padmé have almost identical lines at times (usually about Anakin/Vader).
* GoodIsNotSoft: Leia may be good, but she is not to be messed with.
* GoGoEnslavement: Her skimpy slavegirl costume in ''Return Of The Jedi''.
* HeroicLineage: Her father, [[TheChosenOne Anakin]], was a Jedi before he became corrupted and turned to TheDarkSide.
* HappilyAdopted: It was common knowledge on Alderaan that Leia was adopted by the Organa family, although she has no idea at first who her biological parent(s) are. Following the destruction of Alderaan, in the ''Princess Leia'' comic miniseries, Leia fondly remembers her adoptive father and mother, Bail and Breha Organa.
* HiddenBackupPrince: Along with Luke.
* HotBlooded: Leia is feisty, passionate, opinionated and hot tempered, much like her father, Anakin.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: The one character in the Original Trilogy who ''almost never misses''. Could be justified, as she has access to the Force.
* IncestSubtext: With Luke. They had ShipTease in ''A New Hope''.
* InsultBackfire: Leia calling Han a "scoundrel".
-->'''Han:''' "Scoundrel"? I like the sound of that.
* LaResistance: Leia is part of the [[TheAlliance Rebel Alliance]].
* LightIsGood: Frequently seen wearing white or lighter clothing.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Played straight. Leia takes after Anakin, though she isn't happy about it. She is way more proactive, hot-headed, passionate, opinionated, aggressive, and stubborn than her brother Luke. Anakin's way is to get even and work alone, and Leia seems to want to follow the same path at times. The only major difference between their personalities is Leia appears to lack the attachment issues that doomed her father to the Dark Side. How much of this can be attributed to genetics versus her upbringing is debatable, but she's more like her father than her mother Padmé, despite sharing some traits - such as political ideology and career choice - with her mother.
* LongLostSibling: To Luke. Leia is his twin sister.
* MadeASlave: By Jabba the Hutt. It doesn't last, and she kills him by [[LaserGuidedKarma choking him to death with her own chain]].
* MeaningfulName: Leia means "ruler" in Assyrian.
* MissingMom: Leia's mother, Padmé, died during childbirth.
* ModestRoyalty: Leia spends more of her time in either her white outfit or more practical clothing.
* MotivationalKiss: In ''A New Hope'', Leia gives Luke a peck on the cheek "for luck" before he tries to swing over a precarious gap.
* MsFanservice: Leia is described as being beautiful from the beginning of ''A New Hope'', and she certainly lives up to her reputation. Then of course there's the infamous ChainmailBikini in ''Return of the Jedi''
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The "in-between" to Luke's "nice" and Han's "mean".
* OdangoHair: Her famous "cinnamon bun" hairstyle in ''A New Hope''. According to WordOfGod it was based on a Southwestern Pancho Villa woman revolutionary look. The buns are basically from turn-of-the-(20th)-century Mexico. Which makes the hairstyle significant, as Leia is a leader in the Rebel Alliance. Coincidentally, her adoptive parents are played by Latino actors.
* OnlySaneWoman: In ''A New Hope''.
* ParentalAbandonment: Same as Luke, not that she could have helped it.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: She's only 5'1" (155 cm), but kicks lots of ass.
* PolarOppositeTwins: With Luke. Leia is a brunette, brown-eyed, quick-tempered, sharp-tongued, worldly-wise, shrewd, and a practical politician. Luke is a blond, blue-eyed, calm, mild-mannered, naive, mystical, religious Jedi Knight. Interestingly, Leia's personality takes after Anakin, while Luke's personality is much more like Padmé.
* PoliticallyActivePrincess: Is a senator (until Palpatine disbands the Senate), and then an important member of the rebellion.
* PursuedProtagonist: In ''A New Hope'', Leia is being pursued by a Star Destroyer on her way to deliver the plans of the Death Star to the rebellion. Using R2, she tries to send them to Obi-Wan Kenobi. They instead end up in the hands of FarmBoy Luke, which kick starts the adventure.
* RapunzelHair: When Leia finally lets her hair down in ''Return Of The Jedi''. For many viewers, this resulted in a Fridge Logic moment when we contemplated how she got all that hair into those hairstyles we'd seen in the previous movies. Her hairstyles would be impossible with that length of hair anyway.
* RebelLeader: Initially done while working a Senator, though she drops the guise after the Senate is liquidated and becomes a full-time rebel.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's very active both as a member of the Imperial Senate before the events of ''A New Hope'', and a substantial defacto leader of the Rebellion once she's outed as an enemy of the Empire. She's also the first named character to score a kill on a Stormtrooper, and the last.
* SadisticChoice: Although no kidnapping was involved, the choice faced by Princess Leia of giving up the location of the Rebel base or watching her home planet of Alderaan be destroyed by the Death Star was a perfect example. Especially since, in a notorious KickTheDog moment, Grand Moff Tarkin ordered the planet destroyed anyway after Leia gave a false location in hopes of keeping the Rebellion alive. Tarkin's reasoning? "Dantooine is too remote to give an effective demonstration." Alderaan, on the other hand, was a core world.
* SeparatedAtBirth: Leia was separated from her twin brother at birth in order to protect them from their father (Vader).
* SexSlave: To Jabba the Hutt in ''Return Of The Jedi'' (but thankfully, Jabba died before [[FanDisservice he could have his way with her]]).
* SiblingTeam: With Luke, her twin brother. Also see BrotherSisterTeam.
* SiblingYinYang: With Luke, her twin brother. While Leia is more passionate, impulsive and hot headed, Luke is more calm, cool and collected. See PolarOppositeTwins.
* SlapSlapKiss: Her relationship with Han, even after they got married.
-->'''Leia:''' No matter how much we fought, I always hated to watch you leave.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Sure, she may seems like as though as she was [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]], but she is actually a nice girl on the inside.
* ThereIsAnother: TropeNamer. She is actually Luke's sister and a Force-sensitive.
* TrueCompanions: With Luke and Han throughout the Original Trilogy.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B; the only person she's not polite to is Han.
* UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn: With Luke in ''Revenge Of The Sith''.
* UptownGirl: For Han. You'd think a former street kid and smuggler would consider the Princess of Alderaan and high-ranking Rebel commander well out of his league. But Han's can be very persuasive when he wants to be.
* WellExcuseMePrincess: To Han.
* WomanInWhite: Her actress said it best.
-->'''Carrie Fisher:''' It's not really possible to write out a list of Princess Leia's likes and dislikes. I do know her favorite color, though, it's white. She wears white all the time.

[[folder:Tropes from the Sequel Trilogy Era]]
!!Senator/General Leia Organa
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/organa_leia.jpg]]
-->''"The problem with a reputation is that it can become a legend. Don't be deceived, Poe. I'm not a legend."''

After the signing of the Galactic Concordance, Leia served as the senator of the Alderaan Sector in the New Republic for twenty three years as a leading member of the Populists. After the revelation of her true parentage made her a political pariah, Leia left the senate and formed the Resistance after the New Republic refused to take action against the emerging threat of the First Order. Burdened by family tragedies, Leia hopes to locate Luke so he can assist her in stopping Kylo Ren and the First Order.
----
* BadassBoast: When being threatened by crime lord Rinnrivin Di in ''Bloodline'', Leia reminds him of just who the hell she is.
-->'''Leia:''' All those times you watched me kill Jabba the Hutt, and you never learned from his example. It doesn't pay to jerk me around.
* BadassGrandma: She's in her early fifties (she was about 23 in ROTJ, making her around 53-54 in TFA) her title has changed from Princess to General, and she leads the Resistance.
* BerserkButton: It is not a good idea to say anything remotely positive about the Empire around Leia.
* BigGood: The leader of the Resistance.
* CassandraTruth: Most of the New Republic leadership doesn't think the First Order are a real threat, seeing Leia as a WindmillCrusader.
* CoolOldLady: Just as smart and quick-witted as ever, even in old age.
* DivorceIsTemporary: [[spoiler:Well, separation, as they were still technically married. Her relationship with Han went sour after their son turned to the Dark Side. But the events of ''The Force Awakens'' bring them together again, briefly.]]
* FourStarBadass: She's a general by the time of ''Film/TheForceAwakens''.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Many people distrust her now the fact that she is Darth Vader's daughter became public knowledge. Others view her as a WindmillCrusader, continuing to fight battles that ended three decades ago.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: The novelization implies, [[https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/705506249123598336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw and Pablo Hidalgo later confirmed to be true]], that she [[spoiler:knows ''Snoke'' on a personal level and allowed him to come into repeated contact with Ben when he was younger. It took her a while to realize what was going on between the two of them]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** [[spoiler:Her plea to Han to bring their son back ends up getting him killed. Although to be fair, even if she didn't request it, he still might have ended up trying.]]
** In ''Bloodline'' we find out that she turned down the Governorship of Birren, a title that her adoptive father was sure she would gladly accept. This leads to her political rivals finding out about her family's dark secret and ending her attempts to reform the New Republic and prevent the next war.
* OnlySaneMan: Of all the officials of the New Republic, she was the only one who wanted to continue investigating the Amaxine warriors secret backers and believed that [[spoiler:Casterfo was innocent]]. However, with her heritage revealed she had no power to do so, which led to the creation of the Resistance. When the First Order revealed itself she could only convince a few senators to give the Resistance support.
* RefusedTheCall: Although she is much more aware of and connected to the Force, Leia never did take Luke up on his offer to become a Jedi, preferring to focus on building the New Republic and [[spoiler:raising a family with Han]]. Now that [[spoiler:Luke is in hiding]], Leia is too busy with the Resistance to [[spoiler:find him]] herself.
* SinsOfTheFather: Many people are revolted by the discovery Leia is Darth Vader's daughter.
