Duja, a human female, served as a close confidante and previously as a handmaiden to Senator Padmé Amidala representing Naboo. She aided Amidala in understanding a garbled message from an irate ambassador, thereby averting a possible diplomatic problem, by deducing that the ambassador was displeased with Padmé's pronunciation of another ambassador's name. While probing Duke Solha's droid factory, she met her murdered at the hands of assassins dispatched by the Separatist duke. In remembrance of Duja, Amidala later recited a poem.
