Madam President of Tranquillity

:"We take great care to make sure that Tranquillity is a place of nurturing and kindness. That man was an aberration. An anomaly. He shouldn’t have existed. Not here. Not in our Tranquillity. Tranquillity is a perfect place for perfect people."
Madam President of Tranquillity is a character from the short story Tranquillity. Her real name is never revealed, and she is referred to exclusively as 'the President', 'Madam President', or 'Madam President of Tranquillity'.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
Madam President of Tranquillity is described as 'gaunt-faced' and slight of frame, with dark hair and eyes, often visibly drugged. As of halfway through the story she has one pink crystal tooth. She wears oversized suits and has a tattoo of a deer skull on her arm.
=== Personality ===
She is largely pleasant and gentle, but has a very strong sense of justice. Although neurotic and anxious, she is incredibly stubborn and cannot be swayed politically. Although she can detach herself emotionally from individual people, she gets very emotional over her role as protector of Tranquillity's populace.
=== Skills and Abilities ===
She is very good at debating and arguing, and she is a capable leader of her people. She is also, presumably, very good at operating without her bodyguards' knowledge, and covertly dealing with troublemakers or 'grotesqueries'.
== History ==
Madam President's past is unknown, however she does imply that she had little to no experience with diplomacy or president-ing before becoming Tranquillity's president. Presumably she was a very good president before Tranquillity's statement to send journalists, and established the bomb-proof dome over the nation with her team of scientists.
Additionally, she has, for some time, been kidnapping serious criminals - a man who killed a gay teenager, five men who planned a terrorist attack, and a man who was beating his partner included - and torturing them in order to preserve Tranquillity's safety.
== Trivia ==
* In the story, her car's insignia is 'a jawbone, white, a sun above, an acronym below, a circle encompassing', while the President's Police's insignia is 'A white circle encompassing a long, thin shape. Either a rib or a clavicle [...] flanked on either side by the profile heads of two uncanny hounds, then an acronym above, a jagged shape below, like a thumb-bone or a slug'.
* Her tattoo is described as 'the skull of a deer, sharp and angular and hollow, with a crinkling violet drooping limply from its empty eye socket'.
* Her drugged state is largely unexplained, although it could be theorised as either a painkiller addiction, cure for her constant neurotic anxiety, or treatment for her jaw tensing.
