Queen Elizant II

Queen Elizant II, also referred to as just Elizant, is a character in Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling and the current monarch of the Ant Kingdom. She is the daughter of Queen Elizant I and wanted to follow her mother's goal of finding The Everlasting Sapling. At the start of the game she will mostly stay in the Ant Kingdom Palace, however at the end of Chapter 5 she will follow Team Snakemouth to the Forsaken Lands, while she is in the party Team Snakemouth will be able to use the skill Royal Decree.
== Appearance ==
Being the direct daughter to Queen Elizant I, Queen Elizant II bears resemblances to her mother. Physically, she is a tall, slim ant with a light and dark orange color scheme with black antennae. She wears a mask similar to Elizant I, though only sports four black slits instead of the six her mother had. Elizant also adorns Elizabethan-inspired clothing, with puffy shoulders, a long collar that bears the Ant Kingdom's insignia, a coat with two tails (though depicted in Bug Fables: The Art of Bugaria as 6-8 pedals that spike up), an undershirt that goes from waist-down, and a flower wreath. When unmasked, Elizant sports yellow-green eyes.
== Personality ==
Elizant II is quite headstrong and has a "powerful aura" at the beginning of the game, though this is likely due to her status and expectations of being a queen. During the first few chapters of the game, she has displayed some dismissive and rather harsh feelings towards her subordinates. While she is capable of gratitude and rewarding people accordingly, she is shown to have low tolerance of questions and is quite secretive as well.
Later on, however, she is shown in a new light. It is revealed that her secrecy and desperation to find The Everlasting Sapling stems from her desire to bring back her dying mother. Despite her relatively harsh nature, she is shown to genuinely care about her subordinates, willingly giving Hoaxe the remaining artifacts so that her people are spared. It is also shown that she harbors deep insecurity and finds herself unfitting of being queen of her kingdom, undeserving of kind words and consolation. This insecurity serves to fuel her desire to find The Everlasting Sapling and bring her mother back. By the end of the game, she has come to terms that, while she may not be as great as a ruler as Elizant I, she can still be a great ruler in her own right. After traveling with Team Snakemouth, she also becomes more understanding and attentive to her subjects.
She banned ladybugs from entering the Ant Kingdom after an incident where seventeen ladybugs stole Aphids eggs. Since then, ladybugs, such as Levi, need special permits to enter the Ant Kingdom. According to the Lore Books, this was considered her most controversial ruling during her reign.
== Trivia ==
* According to Mar, Elizant's "villianish" personality for the first half of the game was never intended and only "rolled with it" when theories came after her reveal.Discord messages
