Humphrey and Halesia's mother

* Older
* Younger

**Humphrey and Halesia's mother** was the former queen of Coilstone and Duke Hollandaise's sister. She died when the twins were still young.

## Appearance

Humphrey and Halesia's mother had long, wavy blonde hair and grey eyes like her son's.

As a young woman, she wore a pink long-sleeve dress with a trimmed hem and a white belt, pink stockings with white trim, and white knee-length heeled boots with gold decoration. Over her dress, she wore a white capelet with pink trim, clasped by a large light pink bow bearing a gold brooch with a butterfly design. She carried a golden magic staff with light blue jewels.

In Humphrey's memory in chapter four, his mother wore a pink nightgown with a dark pink band around the bodice, frilled cuffs, and a white frill collar. She wore the same brooch from before.

## Personality

Not much is known about Humphrey and Halesia's mother, but she is shown to have been a kind and caring person, as well as a loving mother. She evidently cared deeply about other people's well-being, as she removed the Welferingrum barrier to request aid for the people of Coilstone, who were under attack by monsters and brigands. The people who knew her remember her fondly.

## History

Before Humphrey and Halesia's mother became the Queen of Coilstone, she and Duke Hollandaise were adventurers. On one of these adventures, she found a gold brooch with a butterfly design.

Not long before the main cast was born, the Queen (although it is unknown if she was officially Queen at the time) and her brother traveled to Welferingrum in search of help to defeat the monsters and brigands attacking Coilstone. The Queen used her magic staff to remove the barrier sealing the elven kingdom from the rest of the world. The siblings met Wolf, who would later become a member of the Merry Party alongside them.

When Humphrey and Halesia were children, their mother read them a book about the Merry Party, calling it "one of [her] favorite fairytales".

The staff that the Queen wielded was allegedly cursed: it absorbs spells aimed at the user but releases them overtime, "poisoning" the user. This apparently contributed to the Queen's death.

## Abilities

Humphrey and Halesia's mother seems to have been a skilled magic user, as she was able to use her staff to release the Welferingrum barrier. According to Halesia, however, a "highly experienced sorcerer" should be able to resist the poisonous effects of the staff, indicating that the Queen may not have been as powerful as other magic users.

## Relationships

### Humphrey and Halesia

The Queen of Coilstone was a caring mother to her twin children and loved them dearly, calling them "her little heart and star". Both remember her fondly.

When Humphrey learns that his mother was a member of the Merry Party and was thus responsible for saving Podunkello, he becomes angry with his uncle, believing that he had "married [her] off to the King" so that he could become the Duke.

### Duke Hollandaise

The Queen and her brother were very close, going on many adventures together when they were young. The Duke is shown to miss her dearly, speaking fondly of her whenever she is brought up. He has a portrait of the Queen with her infant children in his office.

### King of Coilstone

While not much is known about the King of Coilstone or his relationship with the Queen, Duke Hollandaise says that their marriage was one of genuine love. Her death had a profound impact on the King.
