Shemie Xubele

Shemie Xubele was the first Queen of King Tigraini the Great of Batta.
==Early life==
Shemie Xubele was a next-cousin to Tigraini, from a dignified family, and the eldest daughter to her father. This marriage was made to settle the end of a formal dispute between two branches of the Battakwa clan.
Shemie Xubele was said to have been healthy, had teeth of great quality and a great singing voice. She was dignified and submissive of character.
==Queen of Batta==
Shemie Xubele was a well-liked Queen, but was dragged into a personal conflict with the Queen Dowager, Bezie Jeleye, who resented the younger woman's influence over her son.
Tigraini reportedly loved and cared much for his wife during the first years of marriage, but after the birth of Princess Bezinie, the relationship started to crack, as Tigraini was superstitious and considered Bezinie marked by the ziti due to a physical deformity.
==Suicide & Aftermath==
Following the murder of her only son, crown prince Haztaidi, Shemie Xubele used a sharpened speartip to open her veins, and died.
Following her death, Tigraini confiscated the lands belonging to her family, and executed her brothers and half-brothers for conspiring against the throne. Her father was banished and her mother executed.
Her other surviving children were maltreated, and her name was forbidden to mention, on the threat of death, in the entire court.
