She is beautiful. She is horrible.appearance
could you ever have told me that the world was doomed to end like this?
She is a tall thing, but her posture is awful, nearly bent in half; there's a crick in her neck that never goes away. She would be terrifying. She should. But she stands like a little kid at the podium while she stumbles over her speeches and holds command over the entire kingdom with such an iron fist that not even the most senior elders had ever seen such authoritarian rule. Her voice is nearly a whisper when she takes control of the kingdom. Dark eyebags curl beneath her eyes, blooming in an endless cycle. 
Her neck hurts, but it always will. She doesn't have time to fix this little issue –– she never will, not until she fixes this thrice-damned kingdom. She's the Savior, after all. She will save them. She has already ensured this. She must stay alert, awake. And she casts another spell as the kingdom watch her shoulders sag just a little more.
Perhaps she is beautiful; perhaps she had been more beautiful before. Nobody really knew the Queen before her revolution; the only verified dragon who had is dead. She could have been beautiful. But now, her scales are dull, muted greyish-purple shades compared to the rest of her subjects' shining white-blue scales. The few dragons left in the palace watches as she strides past with darting, frazzled eyes and worn-down claws, so broken, so powerful.

history
if the world had to burn, i would've been its reckoning
*cirqueverse time
*illegitimate child that turned out to be an animus whoops
**first animus among the icewings after prince arctic fled
*pretty distantly related to royal family tbh but she won the lottery in that department i guess
*her mother was shunted from icewing society once the former queen's no-good distant uncle had been caught periodically visiting a commoner on the outskirts of the kingdom, kicked out of the rankings
*grew up in the middle of nowhere
**childhood maybe during war of sandwing succession / another brutal war fought close to the icewing kingdom's borders that i invented in my head
**seeing such brutality at an early age made her become desensitized to cruelty and lose faith in dragons to be good
*isolated as a dragonet
*never really learned how to interact "normally"
**to this day she's still brusque and both overly informal and formal with her aides
*existence came to the attention of the royal icewing family
*brought to the palace
*declared an animus formally
*normally would be immediately prosecuted for her status but during a politically tumultuous time and frankly they were preoccupied with other things
**assassination of the previous queen and no available female dragons in-line to rule
**ta-da cirque
**also revolts from the people due to previous abuses of power in the kingdom
*made to give an animus gift despite the fact that she was basically an outsider w/o prior training and influence to regard her power
**was never really cautious with it like she was supposed to be
**but shoddy regulations
**"she needs more time" "that's not what tradition says" "screw it"
*on her seventh hatching day at the gifting ceremony she made her gift giving herself immortality so that she would be able to rule the kingdom forever
**seized power from the government
**ascended to the crown
***technically illegitimate rule because some blah blah law in icewing handbook (i need a name for this) that lists requirements for one to be queen
***you could technically be considered royal family but the rules about who among the relatives could legally come into a position of power / absolute power are a lot more strict
**truly believes that she is the best and most steady ruler the icewings could have
**not due to an ego or anything but her paranoia refuses for any other to have control of her kingdom again
*reign enforced by animus power
