Arianne Durosup

Arianne Durosup was pink-skinned female Twi'lek who represented Bespin in the Galactic Senate before and during the Clone Wars. She would become a close ally to Padme and eventually join the Delegation of 2,000. After the end of the wars, she would step down as senator, appoint govenor Lando Calrissian in her place, and take his place as govenor of Cloud City. Eventually, her home and planet would be invaded by the Hutt Cartel, led by Jabba the Hutt. She and now-senator Calrissian would seal themselves in the capital tower of Cloud City and send a message to Coruscant for help. Her world would be reclaimed when Luke and Leia Skywalker would arrive with their clone regiment, the 501st.

Early Life
Arianne lived on Bespin her whole life. She would often take rides through the air in a cloud-car and take tours through the tibanna gas mines. It's unknown who her parents were, but they raised her with freedom to leave or make her own choices. Sometime during her childhood, Arianne met Queen Jobal Naberrie of Naboo while she was on a diplomatic mission to Bespin. The queen taught Arianne a lesson she'd take to heart; "stick to your principles, and you'll have no regrets".

First Starting Out
Arianne trusted her principles and believed they could help change the galaxy for the better. She took a job to represent Bespin in the Galactic Senate, admitting Bespin into the Galactic Republic. Being a Senator wasn't easy, but she did her best to connect the government of Bespin with the Constitution of the Republic.

Prelude to Conflict
In 32 BBY, when Arianne's former mentor, Queen Naberrie, addressed the Senate with Senator Palpatine, Arianne was hoping to stick by her to help in anyway she could. She was annoyed that Supreme Chancellor Valorum was unable to determine how to resolve the Invasion of Naboo. When the queen posted a "vote of no-confidence in Chancellor Valorum", Arianne in-favored the motion, along with senator Velisa Thul of Alderaan and senator Joseph Reinert of Coruscant. Arianne was the first of the Senate to congratulate the queen on taking her planet back.

In 22 BBY, Arianne was worried about the Republic collapsing on itself. More and more star system were braking away from the Republic and forming the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS). Increasing violence started preluding thoughts of war and the number of Jedi were dwindling. Despite this crisis, Arianne was opposed to the creation of an army for the Republic, knowing that war would only lead to further violence and possible deaths. However, after a skirmish on Geonosis, she could no longer deny that the Clone Wars had begun.
