Queen Melenis

Queen Melenis is the supreme ruler of the Snow Elves, the Seven Cities and Eviron's mother.

History
Born 6,000 years prior to the events of The Snow Elf to Queen Yuana and King Perses, Melenis was crowned queen on her 3,000th birthday, as is tradition with Silari rulers. At the time she was not married, but as Snow Elves are matriarchal a sole female monarch is often the norm. Eventually Melenis chose to marry Micah, a noble from Maelor, who in turn was crowned king. Melenis, however, retained the ruling power, as a queen overrules a king. The two had a son, whom they named Eviron, and he became next in line to inherit the throne.

Character
Melenis is a forceful and willful woman. Born to be queen, she has always expected her commands to be obeyed and her wishes to be considered law. Due to her position as crown princess, Melenis was afforded the best in magical training from a very young age and quickly excelled in the practice, becoming the strongest spellcaster in the Seven Cities. Though instructed in the blade, Melenis prefers to fight with magic if necessary and continues to hone her abilities as queen. A generally stoic woman, Melenis can melt with time, especially when it comes to her son.

Description
A typical Snow Elf, Melenis stands at 6' tall and is willowy and lithe. Her white hair is often bound in a long braid that she either allows to fall behind her or pulls over one shoulder. As queen she wears a crown of blue steel. She often wears blue or white and sapphire gemstone earrings that match the intense blue of her sharp eyes. Freckles pepper her face, which could be removed through magic if she wished, but are retained for aesthetic purposes.
