Queen Mother Duraina Erart
She is the widow of the Late King Barwell Erart.
She has
- a long face
- a softly shaped jaw
- delicate cheekbones
- delicate nose
- full rosy lips
- thin eyebrows
All of Elloreeve mourns the loss of King Barwell but none more so than the Queen.
She has become slightly somber in her dealings with the court, and it hasn't escaped notice that since her bereavement has begun she has missed more spiritual services than she has attended. She is aware of such gossip and takes pains to keep up appearances and execute the duties of her royal office.
It is said throughout the kingdom that no mother loves her children more than the queen loves her own and she has earned such acclaim by being the one who protected and instructed them most during their rearing. At times, in private, it is very hard for her to let her grown children be their own persons as she is used to doting on and instructing them so.My rock; my muse; my love; my queen.
Relationships
History
The relationship between the King and his mother, the Queen, is regal and stately in public. In private it is strained at best.
Relationship Reasoning
Jehanel secretly despises his mother for the cruel way that she has secretly treated Princess Alisceon for most of her young life. The fact that the Queen manipulated Jehanel his entire life with the intention of turning him into her puppet once he acquired the throne further deteriorated their relationship, creating a rift that has been carefully hidden from everyone but the immediate royal family.
Shared Secrets
Though there is still love between them and that bond is what helps them to keep up their public appearance, privately they are bitter towards each other.
