History Characters / StarWarsNewRepublicSenate

* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite her integral role in the Rebellion, she only appears for a single scene in ''Return of the Jedi''. She retroactively has an expanded role in ''The Clone Wars'', as well as a much larger role in ''Rogue One'', ''Rebels'', the comics, and novels. She would've had a larger role in ''Revenge of the Sith'' too, though most of her scenes were ultimately cut in the theatrical release (though the events are still considered canon by Lucasfilm).

* RebelLeader: An unconventional example in that she has very little weight in the plot of ''Return of the Jedi''. This is rectified by ''Rogue One'' and ''Rebels''.

* HeadbuttingHeroes: Her peaceful and reluctant approach to war has caused her to conflict with other rebels, including Hera, Saw, Ezra, and Draven. Some of them call her out for this. Saw was the most pronounced them, and the only one with whom that was actual hatred between the two instead of just frustration.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Thanks to the AesopAmnesia below, Mon Mothma comes off as much more naive compared to her ''Legends'' counterpart who maintained a well-equipped military and strong central authority for the New Republic. Part of this may be due to the very different circumstances of the Empire in Canon which surrendered a year after Endor. In ''Legends'' the Empire's remnants held out for much longer with Imperial resurgences under first Thrawn and the reborn Emperor causing severe setbacks for the New Republic, before a final treaty was established ''fifteen'' years after Endor. By then Mothma was no longer in power in any case.

A male Tarsunt who served as Chancellor of the New Republic, circa thirty years after the Battle of Endor. His refusal to brand the First Order as a threat (especially after Senator Organa’s constant warnings) gets him, The New Republic and billions of innocents killed.

* SecretKeeper: Judging by her lack of reaction to Bail deciding to contact Obi-Wan in ''Rogue One'', it seems he disclosed to her, unlike the Rebellion at large, that the Jedi Master was still alive and in hiding.

* AwfulWeddedLife: Her marriage to Perrin is a farce of a relationship, with him going out of his way to belittle and antagonize her, insulting her as boring in comparison to Palpatine's war criminal advisors, and clearly enjoying watching their daughter follow in his example. Mothma for her part clearly despises his lack of compassion and care of the crimes of the Empire and warns her friend Tay that Perrin cannot be trusted.

* RichKidTurnedSocialActivist: She's from a wealthy and influential Chandrilan family and uses her money and status as a senator to fund a variety of social initiatives. She's ''aware'' that her image as an annoying rich kid with inconsequential charities don't make any dents in the Empire's oppression...and it's an image she keeps up since it hides her real and more system-fixing motive, which is to begin the Rebellion that will eventually overthrow the Empire.

* ProperlyParanoid: She suspects that Senator Saam's bill will deregulate the Intergalatic Banking Clan, which is exactly what happens when Demolition Droids sent by Grievous bomb Coruscant's power generators while the Republic Senate was about to vote on the illegal Separatist peace plan.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Thanks to the AesopAmnesia below, Mon Mothma comes off as much more naive compared to her ''Legends'' counterpart who maintained a well equiped military and strong central authority for the New Republic. Part of this may be due to the very different circumstances of the Empire in Canon which surrendured a year after Endor. In ''Legends'' the Empire's remnants held out for much longer with Imperial resurgances under first Thrawn and the reborn Emperor causing severe setbacks for the New Republic, before a final treaty was established ''fifteen'' years after Endor. By then Mothma was no longer in power in any case.

* GovernmentInExile: {{Invoked}} with her title Chancellor, which is implied to be the Rebel Alliance's way of saying that they are the true Galactic Republic while the Galactic Empire is the illegal usurper. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Ironically, this would come back to bite them when the remnants of the Empire, and later the First Order, say they were the true government while the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic were the illegal usurpers]].

A Imperial loyalty officer from the [=ISB=] stationed on Endor, Sinjir faked his death and deserted when the second Death Star was destroyed. Suffering from a crisis of conscience, he wandered the galaxy drinking for a few months before arriving on the planet Akiva, where he unintentionally becomes involved in a conflict between the New Republic and the Empire. After the Battle of Akiva, Sinjir joins the New Republic as part of a unit dedicated to hunting down Imperial war criminals. Near the end of the war, he becomes one of Chancellor Mon Mothma's senior advisors.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Ordering soldiers into battle has never set well with her. Mothma feels a large amount of guilt over every death that comes out of her commands, whether it be Rebel, civilian, or even Imperial.

* TheGoodChancellor: She becomes this to the New Republic following the Battle of Endor, bringing about a period of peace and unity.

* HatedByAll: Mothma was already hated by various people who supported Palpatine, the Clones, and the Empire, such as Ars Dangor and Sly Moore, who her husband Perrin invited to a dinner party for the Governor of Hanna. When she condemned the Ghorman Massacre, the hate towards her skyrocketed that she became Public Enemy Number 1 and even when Palpatine died at the Battle of Endor [[note]] At the time, that's what the public thought [[Film/RiseOfSkywalker until years later...]] [[/note]], she was hated by the remnants of the Empire for becoming Chancellor of the New Republic, which proceeded to undo all of Palpatine's hard work and decimate the Empire in the Battle of Jakku, forcing any and all remnants [[note]] [[UndyingLoyalty Who still believed in the cause to keep the peace Palpatine held dear through military might]], while other remnants struck on their own [[/note]] to flee into the Unknown Regions.

* BigFancyHouse: Befitting her status as a Chandrila's senator, Mon Mothma's Coruscant apartments, as seen in ''Series/{{Andor}}'', are huge by Coruscanti standards and spectacularly opulent in terms of decor, looking like some beautiful all-white, all-marble 5-Star hotel.

** She also suspects that the death of Dooku, as well as the coming death of Grievous will not bring an era of peace for the galaxy despite Palpatine's Empire promising just that after the conclusion of the Clone Wars. Likewise in ''Andor'', she talks about her and the forces she (indirectly) leads, the enemies of the very peace the Empire was trying to protect since the end of the Clone Wars being watched, though given that Palpatine's running the galaxy, she has every right to fear for her life.

* DoesntLikeGuns: On a far larger scale than usual. She was one of the main voices who didn't want more Clones to be created and advocated for near-complete demilitarization of the New Republic's central military following the Galactic Civil War in favor of planetary and sector defense fleets to ensure that no galactic government could become tyrannical again.

!!Auxi Kray Kobin

* ThoseTwoGuys: With Hostis Ij, as the both serves as advisors to Mon Mothma and frequently give advice that is at odds, with Kobin often advocating more diplomatic solutions. Several months after Ij's death, Kobin asks Mon Mothma to find a replacement for him, as she feels like she needs someone to balance the advice she is giving the Chancellor.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite their vastly different political opinions, Kobin and Ij get along well outside of work and often have dinner with each others families.

* ThoseTwoGuys: He shares all his scenes with Kobin as they offering Mon Mothma competing advice on the war and politics, with Ij typically advocating for more hardline and military options.

* VetinariJobSecurity: Not intentionally, but it becomes clear that the only reason why her decentralization reforms work is because almost everyone respects her and is thus less inclined to go against her decisions. When she retires from office, her successors do not have the same command of influence and it didn't take long before greedy and ambitious senators throw the Senate into a gridlock, leaving them unprepared to handle the First Order crisis.

* NotSoDifferent: In ''Queen's Shadow'', Padmé views her and Mina Bonteri as this, despite their rivalry over gaining Padmé as an ally. While Mothma may have faith in the Republic, Mina does not and views them as becoming increasingly incompetent and heartless. But if there's one thing they both have in common, it's that they're both idealists that want to do good things.

** She was this to Mina Bonteri when Mina was still aligned with the Republic Senate, particularly when it came to trying to sway Padmé over to their respective groups. Padmé thinks they're actually NotSoDifferent when it comes down to it, but Mothma has a more idealistic view of the Republic and is hopeful they can affect positive changes by working together.

* NotSoDifferent: Ultimately realizes that he and Leia truly are this when she [[spoiler: calls him out on exposing her as Vader's daughter, explaining how she has just as much, if not ''more'' to hate about him as Casterfo does, and how having him as a biological father just makes it all worse from her perspective.]]
