Lenora

**Lenora** was a main character who featured in the second *Living Legends* game, Frozen Beauty.

The mother of Elizabeth and her older sister, Lenora accepted The Wicked Queen's invitation to be her successor but instead became one of her frozen victims.

Lenora is loosely based on the Good Queen from the German fairytale, Snow White.

## Appearance and Personality

Lenora was a beautiful woman with long white hair which covered the left side of her face, pale blue eyes and pale skin. She wore a dark purple dress with very long sleeves, pale purple eyeshadow and red lipstick.

In life, Lenora was a loving and hardworking mother to her two daughters and driven to giving them a better life. Her desire led her to accept the Queen's invitation against her better judgement, and yet even facing death she wished only that her daughters grow up safe and happy.

## History

Little is known about Lenora except that she was the mother of Elizabeth and her older sister - it is presumed she is a widow as her husband is never seen or mentioned. Though the family had little in the way of material possessions, they were nevertheless happy.

One day, to Lenora's surprise and delight, she received an invitation to compete in a competition to become the Queen's successor. Knowing that victory could secure the life of ease that she had always wanted for her children, Lenora accepted and set off for the castle.

However, upon arriving at the castle, Lenora was taken to the The Wicked Queen's magic mirror where she learned the awful truth - that the Queen wanted to steal her youth and beauty as she had done to countless maidens before. Despite knowing she was facing death, Lenora asked only that her daughters grow up happy and secure which was granted by the Queen's advisor, The Alchemist. Upon making her final wish, Lenora bit into a magic apple and was immediately frozen, her youth and beauty used to revive the Evil Queen.

For many years Leonora's frozen body remained in the courtyard of the Evil Queen's castle, until the day her elder daughter came seeking to save Elizabeth from being the Evil Queen's next victim. Appearing before her elder daughter as a spirit, Leonora marveled at the woman she had become and asked forgiveness for everything she had done. She then asked that her elder daughter to break the Evil Queen's mirror so that no one else would suffer and she would be able to rest in peace.

Upon her elder daughter completing her task, Lenora told her she would always love her and departed the physical world forever.
