Balene

"If you get dad's secret treasure I will (not) give you anything you want,"~Balene
== Role ==
Balene is Bubbles' second-last born daughter. She is said to have grown up a lot since becoming queen of the Tide-Winders. 
== Appearance ==
Balene looks a lot like what would happen if you mixed the good elements of Sea Snake and Bubbles and turned it into a conniving schemer.
== Personality ==
Balene appears to be kind and sympathizing. However she is actually cold, calculating and conniving. She usually gets what she wants thanks to her Silver Tongue ability.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Powers ===
* None
=== Abilities ===
* Silver Tongue: Balene has mastered the art of the lie and can bend most people to her will.
== Relationships ==
Bubbles
Balene gets along okay with Bubbles, although she is a bit miffed at him coming back from the dead and retaking the throne.
Lantern
Balene generally doesn't approach Lantern, believing him to be of the "lower class".
Monsoon
Balene is fine with Monsoon as long as he stays out of her way and in the kitchens.
Maelstrom
Balene wasn't too devastated by Maelstrom's supposed death, though she still is on relatively good terms with him.
Whirlpool
Balene is closest to Whirlpool among her siblings. She trusts Whirlpool quite a lot and put her in charge of arms manufacturing during her tenure as queen.
Hurricun 
Balene didn't like Hurricun when he was alive and wasn't at all sad to see him die.
Yellow-Star
Balene never met Yellow-Star until she went to the dungeons to see whether she could set free anyone who had suffered under her father's reign. When she found Yellow-Star she set him free, hinting at Balene having a soft spot for her father's long time rival.
== Trivia ==
* Balene's name was a typo until StryaMaker decided to give it a meaning in Stryan. It means "Conniving Schemer".
* Balene is the first Tide-Winder queen to be usurped by her predecessor.
