Teckla Minnau ~ servant, handmaiden and a close friend of Padme Amidala

Teckla Minnau was a servant at Varykino estate of Padme Amidala, then she became her handmaiden during the Clone Wars. A very unique promotion.

She was a quiet presence in Senator Amidala's household, often performing tasks unnoticed in the background. Despite this, she was on hand to deliver advice to the senator when needed. Amidala considered her a close friend.

As one of Padmé's handmaidens and her aide, Teckla was proficient at both armed and unarmed combat. She was also well versed in infiltration and security. During her final mission on Scipio, Padmé assigned Teckla to create a diversion, so she could enter the Banking Clan's vaults. The mission was a success, but sadly, Teckla was killed during the action.

The painter shows the lady during her transission from a sevant girl into a handmaiden. She still wear a blue dress from Varykino estate (which is shown as a holo), but her future maid's costume is shown behind. Teckla seems to be already performing her duties, she holds Amidala's costume and the hairdress stands on the table on the right.

Some were able to recognize that Senator had it during her speech regarding defeating the bill that would increase the Republic's spending on the clone army. It was Minnau, who provided moral support for Padmé, who at some point was losing hope with her prospects of defeating the bill. At Padmé's request, Minnau stayed at the apartment and spoke to Padmé of the effects such spending was having on her family, who were living with limited power and bathing water in a small village on Naboo.
