Princess Leia

Princess Leia is a central character in the *Star Wars* franchise, portrayed by Carrie Fisher.

A leader of the Rebel Alliance and later the Resistance, she became an iconic figure in science fiction—known for her intelligence, sharp tongue, and distinctive hairstyle.

The name evokes female strength and defiance: She's giving Princess Leia energy.

References to Leia often invoke the famous "cinnamon bun" hair or the gold bikini from *Return of the Jedi*.
