history
| Childhood / Teenage Years | Young Adulthood (Pre-Reign) | Adulthood (Reign) |
| Centuries ago, when Kaimana was born, the Undersea was not as united. It was made up of many smaller kingdoms, ruled by smaller queens and kings. Kaimana's mother was one of these queens. She was the youngest of five. Her mother was very present, shaping her daughters into the deadly queens they would one day become. Kaimana's mother is a factor in her actions as a queen, but there is a high chance Kaimana would have turned out the same way without her aid. The only people Kaimana has ever had respect for, in her own, twisted way, were her mother and sisters. She respected them and what they had so much so that she wanted it for herself. Her mother died under mysterious circumstances when Kaimana was around eighteen (the eldest daughter killed her, and lied to Kaimana about it). | Kaimana ascended the throne to one of the small kingdoms of the undersea in her mid-twenties. At one point, centuries ago, Kaimana and her four sisters decided to split the sea evenly, and kill any other ruler in their way. They were very successful, and no other ruler was alive when they were done. They split the see into the deep sea, open sea, coral sea, tropic sea, and arctic sea. Kaimana ruled the open sea, but was unsatisfied with her power. She staged a massive coup, going against her sisters. She demanded each of them surrender their true name to her, and allow her that power over them. Two of the four, the tropical and the coral sea queens, agreed to this, granting their youngest sister power over them. The other two were not so receptive to the idea. Kaimana killed the Queen of the Arctic with her own hands when she failed to surrender. The Queen of the Deep Sea sealed her domain off from Kaimana. But before she did, one man was able to escape. | She took a consort, a general, and gave birth to her eldest daughter, Xia Mei. She needed an heir to help stablize her reign, so she went ahead and decided to have Xia. She sees potential in Xia. Despite her warped views on the lives of others and how love works, she is a successful queen. She wouldn't have been able to come this far, rule this long if she were a bad queen. She is a strict queen, but a fair queen for the most part. She has a taste for blood and war, though, and that is not easily satisfied. However, her subjects respect her and admire her for the most part. They also don't see behind the scenes. Over the centuries she's ruled, she has accomplished a lot. She held fast to her crown with an iron fist. She put down any possible coups before they could take off. In more recent years, she decided to have more heirs, due to her concerns over a possible civil war. She had a son, whom she is rather disappointed in, and does not think highly of him. She had a daughter, named Jin-Hwa, a couple years later. She sees herself in Jin-Hwa, as the girl shares her blood-lust and ambition. Even so, the two tend to clash. She is the harshest with Jin-Hwa. She allowed her to go to the High Court. Next, her youngest and last child, she had Hai Mei. She has not seen the blood-lust the rest of her daughters have, but she believes that is due to her young age. She sees a quiet intellegence in Hai, and wants to manipulate it into ambition and bloodlust for the throne. She has high hopes for all her daughters. She took four consorts total as the Queen of the Undersea. None of her children are supposed to know their fathers, and to her knowledge, none of them do. Her children with them are as follows, in order: Xia Mei Jin-Hwa Mei Hai Mei She has a son, but she is disappointed in him (second-oldest). |
personality
She's a very driven and ambitious person. She will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She would move the earth itself to get what she wanted. She's competitive, but doesn't consider herself to be, even if she always wants to win. In her mind, there is no other alternative. She's stubborn. Cold and calculating. An excellent strategist. Manipulative. Self-centered. She cares for people, and has love for her children and one of her consorts, but it's a selfish sort of love. Her love inspires her greatest atrocities. She is a woman that has every inch of her being intertwined with love, yet is so destructive it is not a good thing. A Queen's wrath is just as dangerous as her love.
writing sample
Marcellus tugged at the ends of his sleeves, trying to calm his nerves. The new High Queen had summoned him. Guinevere Marcel. The cruel, the mad, the vile. The Belladonna Queen. He tried his best not to call her those things when he referred to her. It seemed too cruel. Then again, she had murdered the last High King, hadn’t she?
He had little experience being summoned by queens. But the few times his mother had, it hadn’t been pleasant.
He had little experience being summoned by queens. But the few times his mother had, it hadn’t been pleasant.
To him, queens were cold, just like his mother. Aloof. Always there, always in his mind, but never there for him. His mother hadn’t been there. He was a son, after all. Not the daughter she must have wanted. No matter how many times he told himself that she was cruel, that she was a cold queen who held no love in her heart for him, it didn’t stop him from hoping. Even when she scoffed at his childish scribbles of gargoyles. Even when she invalidated apprenticeship. Every condescending, manipulative word only made that hope more desperate. All that cruelty didn’t keep him from begging the stars that hung above the vast seas, begging each night that his mother would find a little bit of love in her heart for him. The stars never answered.
He silently wondered if this queen was anything like his mother.
He hoped not.
He ceased his fidgeting, straightening his posture out of habit. He traversed the halls, until he reached the throne room. Intimidating, in of itself.
He barely noticed the man announcing him to the Queen, and the Queen to him in turn. He bowed. A stiff reflex tied to so many memories of his mother. But this woman wasn’t his mother. Even so, it didn’t stop her title of ‘queen’ from being tainted by his mother’s memory.
He simply waited for her to speak.
