History: Wookiepedia here
Personality: Padme is a remarkable person. From a very young age, she knew she wanted to help people and serve her planet and that's exactly what she did. It takes a very particular kind of person to decide at the age of 14 that she's going to run for queen. She's driven and incredibly smart. Too smart for her own good, sometimes. When she became queen and Panaka gave her his idea for using handmaidens as bodyguards and body doubles, she instantly knew how to improve upon it and make it work even more to her benefit. She's as poised as she is smart. She put a great deal of thought into cultivating her persona for Queen Amidala, and it shows. It's also a lovely study in contrast. There's a moment in the book Queen's Peril when she meets her handmaid for the first time. She brings the girl into her bedroom so they can be alone and almost instantly slouches in her chair, takes her shoes off, and smiles at her. She lets the persona fall away to show Tsabin that she trusts her, even going so far as to tell her her real name. At such a young age, she knows how to use misdirection and what can only be described as the ultimate poker face to amazing effect. Another example of this was revealing her identity to Boss Nass in order to humble herself before him and forge an alliance.
Whether as a queen or a senator, Padme is never afraid to get her hands dirty. She is not the type to stand back and direct people as they risk their lives for her. She's more apt to throw herself into more danger than she can handle and risk everything to save her people. While other politicians might cower, she'll grab a blaster and show off how good a shot she is. The fact that she's been kidnapped, attacked, threatened, chased, poisoned, and experienced a number of other unsavory things, means she's got a damn good reason to know how to take care of herself. There might not always be a Jedi around to save the day, after all.
One would think that someone would have to have a pretty big ego to become queen of an entire planet. On the contrary. Padme didn't become queen because of the glory (though it is a pretty cool thing to know everyone's talking about you). She became queen to help people. She may have held that position, but she's no more important than any of the other citizens she represents. When on Coruscant pleading for help to save Naboo from the invading forces, she chose to return to Naboo because her "fate would be the same as theirs." She would not sit idly by while her people were dying. If they were going down, she would go down with them.
While she was a senator, she still often learned from and took advice from her people, or others on planets she visited. She knows she doesn't know everything and always strives to learn more and broaden her horizons wherever she goes. She also knows when to lean on other senators who have more experience than she and act as a support rather than the front fighter. She keeps an incredibly open mind about almost everything. She will never abide injustice or suffering, however, and if she sees it happening you can be damn sure she's going to do everything in her power to stop it.
She's not all poise and diplomacy, though. Beneath that carefully crafted exterior lies an incredibly sensitive woman. She loves life, which is why she fights so hard to preserve it. She's a romantic, though she does everything in her power to put duty first. While some have tried to win her heart, it takes someone who understands that she's married to democracy first to finally succeed. The fact that he is a handsome Jedi who she can be herself around helps things, too.
She's tenacious, stubborn, driven, humble, caring, intelligent, and courageous. I.e. if you get in her way, she will either find another way around, convince you why you're wrong, or pull out a blaster and make you move. She's a great judge of character, and finds the most diplomatic and witty ways to call people on their bullshit as she can. She has faith in the system, and faith in the honorable people who work with her to keep that system going.
