HUMAN
Of course she was a Princess but once Solo had her he made her human. You could hold a real conversation with her, get her to smile, or laugh, or just have a real facial expression, you could even touch her, casually of course.
No one even dared to think about it before, before when the most emotion she showed was hugging Luke or screaming her tiny lungs out at Solo. Before, when she was a numb little Ice Princess and hardly even human.
After she came back from Bespin she was a wreck. She would break down randomly and hardly ever spoke. She had terrible nightmares, and you could hear her screaming from the other side of Home One.
The day she left for Tatooine we all realized that whatever Solo had done to her, he'd succeeded in something we never thought would happen; he'd melted the Ice Princess and made her human.
The day they came back was even better, and by the end of the first night on Endor we knew that she had a whole range of emotions, and by the 2nd we knew she was capable of love.
Sounds terrible, I know, but that's how it was.
