She was a baby and then a girl. She lived into a masculine world, her father almost unable to find anything more feminine for her than the occasional acknowledgement that she wasn't a a son. Nothing terrible, he said- he ignored the fact that around them women were reduced to housework and other more appropriate occupations. She was his heir and as the heir she wasn't pampered. She followed him since her tenderest years. Troops loved her, officers respected her. It all became useful in avenging her father when the Emperor launched her own brother against him- blood on the hands of her troops, her hands, was rightfully spilled, then, and Leia lived as the patroness of a militarised Empire.
