Cordé ~ Senator Padme Amidala's decoy

Cordé, formerly known as Cordyn, was a handmaiden who served Senator Padmé Amidala in the days leading up to the Clone Wars. She was acting as a decoy when she was killed in an attempt on Amidala's life by Clawdite bounty hunter Zam Wesell. On the painting, she is seen just before boarding the shuttle, which would take her, Amidala and other handmaiden Versé to Coruscant (who both are presented on the left). We can also see the royal crest on the wall on the right.

Her resemblance to the senator would make her an excellent decoy. Cordé was also able to perfect Amidala's voice to the point that even a voice identifier couldn't tell the difference.

The painter did not include there any weapon, it was becasue she lacked combat ability, especially with a blaster, due to poor hand-eye coordination. This excluded her as potential handmaiden, when Amidala was Queen, but was not so vital for being a decoy of senator.

On the painting, we can also see pins in Naboo style, one in handmaiden's hair and others on the chair. Cordé had her sister design and make pins that could be used within the hairstyles for the senator that could double as weapons or tools, yet be small enough to pass most security scans. Cordé also designed a few pins. Dormé, a fellow handmaiden, was recorded to say that Cordé's whole family was very talented.

Everyone, it’s done. The longest fic I have written (longest anything I’ve written, let’s face it) is finally complete.

The Sound of Silence has been such a whirlwind adventure for me, and I could not have done it without so much support. Thank you so much to everyone who has read this, liked this, and enjoyed it. I am truly and deeply humbled by the love and support I’ve been given to write and complete this fic.

“Tell me, Your Grace — why do you let yourself be forced to use your healing powers? It would be better for you if you did not, given the toll they take.” — The Temptation Of Saint Anthony, But With This Guy, Chapter 28.

Healing Day comes once a month, and the ill and afflicted line up in droves to receive the blessings of the younger prince of Lucis. There's really just one problem with it, in Cor's opinion — and that problem is the younger prince of Lucis.

A fic set in a loving spinoff of the same universe as @higharollakockamamie‘s The Temptation of Saint Anthony, but with This Guy.

Ardyn: okay

Cor: I can!

Ardyn: I’m not stopping you

Ardyn: oh! And can you walk without holding onto a surface or me for support?

Cor:…. Shut up!

Ardyn: looks like you aren’t going to work then sweetheart
