💀 Character Information
Name: Princess Leia Organa
Canon: Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Canon Point: post-film.
Age: 23.
Description: Leia is an angry smol at 5'1", with her hair in braids of all shapes and sizes or in its famous cinnamon bun approximation. You'll likely find her wearing white. Everything that is voluntarily in her wardrobe is white. Obviously, the slave bikini doesn't count.
Physical changes: A faint glowy halo around her head that shines brighter when she's angry. Which is about 75% of the time.
Powers: She's Force-sensitive and can tune in to family members and loved ones like GPS. That means having a general idea of their location, presence, and feelings. No, she's not a voyeur.
History: a wookieepedia link for your reference
Hell Status: Heaven transfer.
What Brings Them To Hell:
Leia is what people - particularly Empire loyalists and First Order fanatics - would disparagingly call "a bleeding heart". She's an earnest champion of all things idealistic, good, and just; this is a woman who spent her adult life to date fightingcrime a corrupt Empire. She could've sat back on the Alderaanian throne and chilled, but no - she chose to become a Senator so that she could champion the needy and the oppressed, and when that wasn't enough, she chose to go underground as a proponent of the Rebel Alliance. Obviously, her cover was blown, and then she was like fuck this noise, I'm going to dedicate myself 100% to being a rebel princess. Down with the system. Et cetera, et cetera.
All that being said, Leia is not the type to sit pretty and wait around for people to stop suffering. Heaven was boring - everyone was fine and dandy, and Leia was a workaholic. The afterlife wasn't offering her a sense of fulfillment because she had to go out and help people - which is what brings her to Hell. Bleeding heart, remember? People learning their errors, making amends, doing apt penance - that's her jam. Due process of law and all that.
That, and she heard rumors that her future son was around.
The Pitch:
Introducing LeiaNaberrie-Skywalker Organa, the "get one free" that the galaxy didn't expect.
What are the best points of this exceptional example of a woman?
Leia's life (lol) in Heaven was . . . well, dull. She was an active member of the Blue Sky organization, but what was the point of inspiring virtue, goodness, and peace in a place that was already pleasantville? Unlike an actual government system that needed her to check and balance and to constantly strive for progress, there was nothing to work toward. It was perfect in Heaven. And that was a bad thing for a workaholic.
She felt like she needed to do something, even in the afterlife - which was what brought her to ask for a Hell visa.
Leia will probably have a perpetual side-eye in Hell, but then again, when doesn't she? Hell is gaudy, tacky, and gritty, and she'd probably feel like she could acquire tetanus and a non-heavenly host of STD's by simply existing there. Basically, she won't like it one bit - but no one ever said that being a rebel activist is easy, and damned (literally) if she'd back down from this challenge.
She'll spend her days praising the few who are willingly doing their community service, scolding the majority that are misbehaving, and generously offering free air conditioning and ice cold lemonade to the particularly hardworking and admirable hellizens who could use a break. She'd also immediately join up with the Reform Branch, because: a) she believes that people can change and atone for their sins and community service is a good way to go about it, and; b) down with the dictatorship. Brimstone Corporation better watch its back.
She'd probably get into trouble with the hardasses of the community for being such a bossy do-gooder, but she's Leia fucking Organa. If she faced down Governor Tarkin, Darth Vader, and Jabba the Hutt, she can take whatever Hell has to offer.
Oh, and she'd also probably be smuggling in goods from Heaven. Because former baddies need creature comforts too.
REVISIONS: Regarding opposition and difficulties.
Contrary to what the Galactic Empire and the First Order might say, Leia was not a rabble-rouser for the sake of it. What led her to rebel against said organizations was the injustice she saw in both. When it comes to Brimstone Corporation, she acknowledges that no doubt, Hell's governmental system would be more corrupt than most, seeing as it was probably the epitome of all corrupt governments. However, that doesn't mean that it'll sit well with her. Leia will not be pleased to see the monopoly that Brimstone Corporation has on redemption/eternal damnation, and will be even more disgruntled to see that punishment for them means pain when it can be more constructive, like community service.
In this case, she'll handle Brimstone's monopoly on all things Hell-related by lobbying for the Reform Branch, lecturing people on the merits of community service rather than corporeal punishment (as corporeal as it can get on one's soul, anyway), and trying to basically sway people's mentality to atone through productive means. If she gets punished for it, well, so be it - she's used to being on the run and being caught by The System anyway.
As for oppositions from the hellizens themselves, Leia won't back down from any insults or threats she might receive, because it's not in her nature to give up; she'll take it all in stride, and because she's got quite a mouth herself, she'd give as good as she gets. Trading insults and barbs are part of her repertoire. Even if the hellions turn a blind eye to her, she'll keep on campaigning for positive change until they get sick and tired of her yapping.
Regarding her difficulties and struggles in Hell, Leia's biggest frustration would come from fighting against a complacent system that's all too happy to stay the same. She'd recognize that she can't overhaul the entire thing, simply because just as the Dark side and the Light side of the Force need to exist in balance, good and evil are two parts of the equation and Hell is as necessary as Heaven is. However, that won't stop her from trying to make a difference in her own way, simply by offering kindness and sage (if angry) advice whenever she can, and supporting the souls that have come to understand why they're in Hell and have chosen to make up for their crimes in what she considers the right avenues - basically constructive, helpful ways, like as mentioned above, community service.

Introducing Leia
What are the best points of this exceptional example of a woman?
â–º She literally takes no one's shit. Grand Moff Tarkin says he's having her executed? She insults him: "I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself." Bam. Mic drop. No weepy damsel-in-distress here, sorry.Setting Fit:
â–º Lady's a hardass. Youngest Senator of all time at 19, Rebel Alliance leader at 20. Got tortured by Darth Vader? Revealed nothing under the influence of mind-altering drugs, pain, and Force extraction techniques. Saw her own home planet get destroyed? Doesn't give them the satisfaction of seeing her break down. Got perved on by a slimy giant slug mobster? Choked him with the chain attached to her slave collar - no Force required.
â–º She didn't sit around and wait for social change to happen. She made it happen, come hell or high water. Girl's got initiative. Being a Senator in a fakey fake Imperial Senate didn't cut it, so she dedicated herself the Rebel Alliance. Corrupt governments could go kindly fuck off.
â–º She's sarcastic af, but truly believes in the goodness that people may have. See: "I knew there was more to you than money."
â–º She's a hands-on leader. She won't just order her troops to go do this, do that, while she sits in the comfort of a luxury cruiser. Hell no. She's out there with them. She's the first to arrive, last to leave. She evacuated her troops first while Hoth was melting around her ears, and was right on the ground with them on Endor to disable the Death Star II's shield. Talk about leadership.
â–º Despite all this badassery, she's a precious cinnamon roll inside, too good for this world, too pure. Leia has one thing she believes in, and that is hope. She'll keep fighting tooth and nail to champion the oppressed and the voiceless so long as there is hope. She should be a saint, honestly.
