- "The protocol droids inform me you were splendid today. I'm sure your appearance was much admired."
"Everyone saw what good work you did, TooVee. You should be proud." - ―WA-2V and Leia Organa, after her Day of Demand
WA-2V, also known as 2V or TooVee, was the personal attendant droid of Princess Leia Organa. She had bluish fingers, a roll ball for movement and a stiff apron that passed for her hips.[3]
She was programmed to ensure that the princess was always presented in grand style for every occasion. In keeping with this duty, she was an excellent hairstylist, able to do the princess' hair in many elaborate styles. She was also programmed to remove the princess from danger, if necessary. TooVee's programming to ensure that the princess was dressed as formally as possible often clashed with Organa's preference for dressing simple although TooVee did find pearls passé.[3]
On one occasion when Organa was a toddler TooVee had to chase after her ward who had escaped from her bath and ran naked and wet into the palace's formal dinning room during a diplomatic dinner.[3]
On another occasion, during Organa's childhood she escaped from TooVee in the palace gardens before running to her mother Queen Breha Organa who was reading a paper book, next to the astromech droid R2-D2, in front a statue of Organa's birth mother Padmé Amidala.[5]
In 3 BBY[6] TooVee helped Organa get ready for her Day of Demand (compromising with a simple white dress for Organa and bold silver jewellery for TooVee) and later her coronation as heir as well as several dinner parties and banquets hosted by Leia's parents that were actually strategy meetings.[3]
TooVee was also happy when Organa returned home from a mercy mission on Onoam, one of the moons of Naboo, wearing the traditional Jubilation dress, exclaiming excitedly that it was the most beautiful gown Organa had ever worn and how Naboo was "the place" for formal wear. TooVee was disappointed to learn that Organa was only borrowing the gown and that it would need to be returned to Queen Dalné, after being washed. TooVee reassured herself, however, by stating that they had "a wonderful example to draw from" for the princess' wardrobe. Organa, who was usually amused by TooVee's obsession with fashion, grew annoyed, having just avoided being killed, and forced herself to calm herself to calm down, while asking TooVee where her parents were.[3]
In 0 BBY,[1] while Organa was away on a mission, TooVee made arrangements for the princess' clothing at the upcoming equinox celebrations, having one of Queen Breha's old dresses altered and decorated for the princess at the queen's suggestion. However, Alderaan was destroyed before the festivities could occur.[2]
Years later Organa remembered TooVee when she thought of all the small things she'd lost due to the destruction of Alderaan.[4]
