"That's a more complicated question than it might have once been," Leia said. "I was born a human, and in most ways I still am. However, thanks to certain circumstances in my both my own world and the other dimensional hub I was living in before I was brought here, I'm now technically alive, dead, and functionally immortal, all at the same time. The details are a rather long story and probably best saved until you're calmer, but I've gotten used to it even if I don't entirely understand it myself."

"As for being a Queen, it doesn't seem like the word holds quite the same meaning for me as it does for you, but I would have been one had I chosen to take up my mother's title. Aside from the aforementioned complicated circumstances though, what you're picking up on is most likely my connection to an energy field known as the Force. My biological father, my twin brother, my children, and myself are all among the most powerful Force-sensitives who ever lived, if not the most powerful. Which would almost certainly affect my 'psychic scent'."
