What is their accent? Padmé's got a very faded Mid-Rim accent, which in practical terms is a standard American accent.
Do they curse? Under what circumstances? Very rarely, and almost never outside her own head. If she ever did, it would be in super extreme circumstances, and she'd still be using Star Wars-y curses. Because that's a thing.
