History Fanfic / HereticPride

In this version of events, Padmé has a younger sister who was taken away to be an apprentice Jedi, never to see her family again. As a result, Padmé is rather less idealistic about the Jedi and their doctrine of detachment, and when Qui-Gon takes Anakin Skywalker from Tatooine she knows that the Jedi won't let Anakin stay in touch with his mother, nor can they be expected to do anything further to help Anakin's mother or friends. So Padmé decides she will help Shmi Skywalker herself, and gives Anakin a secret way to keep in touch with her. Anakin, in turn, decides that he will do what he can to find out for Padmé what has become of her sister.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The ''raison d'être'' for the story, since the Naberries don't agree at all with the Jedi tradition of totally cutting children from their families and want nothing more than to learn their youngest daughter's whereabouts.

** Madam Jocasta quite enjoys his help in the library, enough to grumble over the other Masters constantly borrowing her "assistant".

* IWillFindYou: When he learns Padmé’s baby sister was taken away by the Jedi Temple, Anakin promises he will help her to reunite the girl with the Naberrie family.

** Jedi younglings who come from a famous family, like Ilaré Naberrie, are given new names to prevent them from finding out who their birth families were and reforming an attachment. This is one of the things that makes it more difficult for Anakin to find out what became of Ilaré.

Rabé rolls her eyes. "No, you just picked that up from Obi-Wan," she says. "He always has a bad feeling about everything."

* ScaryLibrarian: Madam Jocasta is quite ''upset'' to realize someone is deleting precious data in her library.

* UndergroundRailroad: The Tatooine freedom trail, a secret network that helps escaped slaves. Shmi Skywalker is a member even before being freed, and Padmé helps out with money and equipment, as well as helping set up places offworld for slaves to escape to.

* AffectionateNickname: "Grandmother" is Anakin's way to show his respect and fondness for Madam Jocasta.

* {{Expy}}: Here, Madam Jocasta Nu is basically [[Franchise/{{Discworld}} Granny Weatherwax]] InSpace.

* NotSoDifferent:

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Anakin seems to have a talent for creating these.

-->“Ah,” says Anakin. “I knew I had a bad feeling about this mission.”\\
Rabé rolls her eyes. “No, you just picked that up from Obi-Wan,” she says. “He always has a bad feeling about everything.”
* NotSoDifferent: Anakin draws more and more uncomfortable parallels between the Jedi way of living and slavery.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Anakin is perplexed by how the planet Kamino was erased from the Jedi Archives. Shmi has to point out that the Jedi Archives are not the only database in the galaxy.
