Summary
Keep your teeth sharp, Lenusha, she remembers Natalia saying to her once, in the quiet of the night. When she looks back on it with more adult eyes, she realizes it for what it was—Natalia’s way of trying to protect her, to tell her what was really going on. There are wolves in the night, she said, once, when Yelena asked her for a bedtime story. And there are stories about wolves and girls. Girls in red; all alone in the woods, about to get eaten up. She had grabbed Yelena’s face in both hands, then. Her palms soft and warm even as Yelena remembers being able to feel the calluses there. A twelve-year-old girl with calluses on her palms, a perfect Middle America accent, sharp, intelligent eyes, and muscles that were stronger than most adults—a wolf in disguise.
Wolves and girls, Lenusha. She pressed their foreheads together. Both have sharp teeth; keep your teeth sharp.
(or, yelena belova: from child solider, to brainwashed teenager, to emotionally stunted adult; the only through line in her life is always, always natalia romanova).

Summary
Padme has grown up around beautiful women.
Specifically, Padme has grown up around politics. In that arena more than most, beauty is a tool, a weapon, whatever you can forge it into. She’s saved more lives picking the right accessories than she has with a blaster in her hand, and she’s not bad with a blaster.
Anakin Skywalker is an anomaly.
