Naboo is ruled by a line of women. While she rules each woman
is called the Minhara. They are believed to be decendents of a
goddess called Delrae. They have certain powers given to them by
Delrae. While they are the Minhara Delrae bonds with them. Her spirit
becomes one with theirs until the next Minhara takes her place.
Padme is the current Minhara.
Anakin is the same age as Padme.
