JeVondair Family/Selenia/Personality
Description
She wore no artifact of rank or status on her person. The way eyes followed her and ears strained to hear her was the only symbol of office she regularly tolerated. She allowed herself to be appraised. She was altogether smaller than her larger-than-life reputation might suggest. Her skin did not glow gold. Thunder did not roll as she spoke, but there was a spark in her ordinary blue eyes, or was that just the reflection of the firelight? Trick of the light or no, her steady gaze was nevertheless unnerving as one contemplated all that she must have seen if even half of the stories about her were true. She appeared to be about 30 years old, but it was a well-known effect of a Fountain of Youth scroll and that in reality she was quite a bit older. She was no legendary beauty, but not unlovely. She was powerfully well built, indicating to any with eyes to see that she was clearly a practiced swordswoman, and if her tone alone was not enough, the light white of faded scars would reveal her for the warrior she was. She was clearly in top athletic form, despite her age and the fact that she'd had a son. Her lips were full and made for smirking, her features were evenly spaced, and there was a dignity about her that commanded respect. That feeling of her presence contrasted sharply with her otherwise unassuming appearance. Her garments, however, matched her station in every respect.

Understanding Selenia
Selenia is an aggressive woman. When presented with a problem, she prefers to confront it head on and slice through to the next. She has also been defined by her compassion. She has great skill for empathizing with others and putting herself in their shoes, which has served her well over the years. She feels things very deeply and, as a result, is often driven by her emotions despite her ability to coolly dissect and analyze a problem. She resents arrogance of any kind and in anyone, despite herself having grown increasingly arrogant over time. She is a feminist that speaks up for women's rights and against their violation. She has been known to place women in positions of power for little other reason than their gender. Selenia is extremely independent and resents any action that may control or contain her. She is also completely ruthless when dealing with true enemies and does not balk one bit at the concept of engaging in violence. She leads by example and from the front. She steps up to take on additional responsibilities because there are few she trusts to do a better job than herself. But when she does find such an individual, she divests herself of said power as soon as possible.
In public, she is every inch powerful Queen. Arrogant, even dominant, and not at all interested in feigning humility. She once slapped a former king in the face when he dared to presume he was her equal. In private, however she is rushes to be as informal and relaxed as possible, as though she finds the trappings of Royalty to be tiring. She values Candor and honesty, because she sees anything else as ultimately a waste of time. But let someone try to talk down to her or hers and THE QUEEN surges back with a vengeance. Given this attitude, it is no surprise that she refuses to commit to diplomatic arrangements of any sort without first eating and drinking with the ruler who seeks to deal with her.
Her driving goal is to create things that will live on after her death. To this end, the Imperium of Greater Xavax is her simultaneously her greatest project and her finest achievement to date. But above that, her son, Högni Peredhel, means more to her than her life.
Selenia always wanted to get married and start a family, like Rynn did. Now, being well passed conventional marriage age despite her appearance, she's all but given up on finding her equal.
