## Lizard - Queen of Rular

**" A nation is nothing without its people, these cities and buildings can be re-built "**

## Physical description

### Character

##### Personality

Queen Lizard is a kind but unstable character wanting what's best for everyone, although proven bad at actually working for and achieving that. Her impulsive and naive personality strongly affects her decision making and without someone there to calm her down or give her time to think clearly you never know how she will navigate a situation. Proven most noticeably with kantje and Snow but also people such as Alasdair, Aizza and Ulric. This also makes her almost obsessive over the ones she actually opens up to and trusts. She isn't necessarily easily upset but can't really take criticism, however she feels a loss of control when angry. In general Lizard is incredibly reliant on her emotions.

##### Special Items

*Freya's Axe-* This is the axe Lizard uses for hunting, it was given to her by Freya. It was originally an iron axe that Freya made herself, it was also one of the first axes Freya ever made, making the shaft out of a regular tree branch. Lizard then tried the best she could to eventually replace the blade with diamond and later netherite.

*Lizard's Crown-* Lizard herself never asked to become Queen of Rular but in the early stages of founding the nation Creep and her together decided to give her that role, however keeping things casual with power etc. Lizards own thoughts on royalty and power made her only feel comfortable with this as her crown.

*"trying"-* That is the name of Lizards private book, she uses it for venting and writing down her thoughts and feelings as an attempt to get better at both processing, phrasing and talking about what she feels. She started doing this between seasons 1 and 2 of Eventide after King kantje's death after discovering that going out to hunt didn't take her mind off of things enough. This is now a habit of hers but she still insists that it doesn't really help and probably isn't worth it after all. She stores this book of hers in her enderchest and does not want people knowing about it or it's content.

### Backstory

##### Skarbrekka

Born Saga Elbeck, Princess of Skarbrekka, a country far to the west of Eventide, Lizard grew up to hate her time there and run away at a relatively young age. Being princess put a lot of expectations on her to be the perfect daughter and perfect princess, hating the royal family and nation as a whole did not fit into this idea of perfect. As a kid she had a really hard time regulating her emotions, specifically anger, making her known all around the country for lashing out and her constant troubling behavior. She refused to wear appropriate clothing for her role, skipped out on most events and scheduled meetings etc. and would never support the actions of her family.

##### Freya and Lizard

At 10 Lizard got to know Freya, a poor outcast with a love for watching the local blacksmith work. They became close friends despite their frequent fights as Freya was very easily upset. One day the blacksmith decided to let Freya in his workshop and told her she could spend her days there but he wouldn't provide any place to sleep or any food, this was alright for Freya though as getting to watch his skill in the art was enough for her. Freya spent more and more time there making Lizard sneak out there as well. The two would also often sneak out at night, outside of the walls. There was a place where they'd climb up a tree on top of a hill nearby and look at their home from above staying up talking all night about eventually leaving the place.

While becoming closer with Freya, Lizard being lesbian started to accept her sexuality. Freya was openly bisexual and the two started dating, however without really talking through the details of their relationship leaving Lizard with massive doubts about them classifying as a couple. Their relationship eventually came to an unofficial end because of Freya not showing up at the designated meeting place as they were finally gonna run away together as they planned. Lizard being hurt but stubborn decided to still continue the plan on her own.

##### Living Alone and The Foundation of Rular

Her love for hunting made it easy to manage living on her own and so she ended up never staying for too long in the same place. She would run into people here and there but always left after a few days no matter what, she could not afford trusting anyone and wanted to constantly be on the move for the chance of people at home looking for her. She found it hard to believe they would even send out anyone to search but wanted to be as careful as possible, especially with her dad so often mentioning new nations, cities and tribes he somehow knew about.

After a long time of living like this she met Creep, former Duke of Rular. He got to know her and helped her settle down and found Rular, a place built on generosity and trust for anyone who needed it. A nice but intimidating change after so many years of her not being able to trust anyone in order to survive.

### Rular

##### Location

Anything reminiscent of the past was hard for Lizard to feel comfortable with and so when looking for a place to start building with Creep she insisted on something more uncommon than the plains of Skarbrekka and the spruce forests she'd spend most time in out living alone. They ended up in a savanna surrounded my dessert, this was far more interesting and lizard enjoyed the heat. Together they started building the community tent of Raniss, previous capital of Rular, which stood where the famous crater is located right now. It was blown up as an act of rebellion towards the Queen by Bob (with more people involved as well), it being a historical building that held emotional value to her.

##### Healing items and Medics

Because of Lizards experiences having to care for herself she learnt how to craft healing items and went on to share these recipes with all members of Rular making it their special items before the Divide of Morality. This made it so that they could help those who arrived at the place resulting in for example Alasdair becoming a loyal rularian and bodyguard.

### TBA Canonically

* Ulric and Snow are the only characters who canonically know Lizards full name.
* Snow and Ulric are the only characters to know of Freya and Lizard, kantje only knew of her name and that she was important to Lizard.
* Lizard being lesbian is only known to kantje so far. However Snow outed Lizard to have been with a girl in front of everyone at the garden during the Hellish Cold. Newer members are therefore still not aware of this.
* Snow is the only character who knows about "trying".
* Freya is the one who gave her the nickname Lizard.
