Elizabeth III

Empress **Elizabeth III Elizabeth Katherine Grace**, also known as **Elisabeth Katherine Graceling**, and colloquially known as **Ella**, was the eldest daughter and former heir to Alexei VII, the Mighty Sun King who assumed the role of Empress consort to the Empire of Prisma. She was the older sister of Lyanna and Isobel Grace and the wife of Princess Imperial Brienne of Prisma, with whom she had three children, Myrcella, Arya, and Sorin. She also fathered Medusa with one of her younger step-brothers, whom she was gifted as her concubine after the destruction of her previous marriage with the death of Brienne at the hands of a outspoken enemy of her homeland. Myrcella was then named as the heir apparent to the throne of the Prisma Empire, with Princess Alexys (the eldest of her younger siblings) being named as the heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Phoenix.

## Biography

### Background

Princess Elizabeth Graceling was the eldest daughter and heir of King Alexei VII of Phoenix, by his wife Queen Noelle of the United Kingdom. For hundreds of centuries, the House of Graceling was considered the most powerful and the wisest of the ruling bloodlines to ascend to the throne of Phoenix, and due to that viewpoint high expectations were heaped upon the royal children. Her father was directly descended from Lord Maegon and Lady Cordella of House Bushnell, House Bushnell was considered one of the premier ruling bloodlines (when they still existed). Lord Osric and Lady Verenyse of House Pebbleton were also directly descended from Lord Maegon and Lady Cordella, making them Princess Elizabeth`s aunt and uncle.

From birth, Elizabeth III was considered to be the last "hope" of a crumbling dynasty as her parents (King Alexei VII and Queen Noelle) were becoming sicker by the day. Lady Madelayne (the first cousin to the future Empress) even stated that most members of the Intelligence Agencies were waiting for her father to cede the throne to Princess Elizabeth, which would elevate her to the status of a Queen. Duchess Emphyria (a close friend of then-Princess Elizabeth III) persuaded the King to seek a political alliance with the Empire of Prisma (as they deserved to be awarded for being the longest-lived allies of the Kingdom of Phoenix). Duke Elwood, the husband of Duchess Emphyria also agreed and thus Elizabeth III became the "chosen" bride of Princess Imperial Brienne of Prisma (the heir apparent of the Empire of Prisma). Though she wasn`t happy with the arrangement, Princess Alexys, reluctantly agreed to be the flower girl for the wedding. Thus on her fourteenth birthday, Princess Elizabeth III, was married to Princess Imperial Brienne of Prisma, with her younger siblings: Princess Alexys, Princess Naeva, Prince Alesander, Princess Lyanna, and Princess Isobel who all served as flower girls. Though her family was considered to be one of the greatest ruling houses, having produced some of History`s most legendary and beloved rulers, Princess Elizabeth III quickly rose as one of the greatest consorts of the Prisma Empire after she personally advocated for a better school system in her homeland (which was implemented by her father).

Elizabeth takes after her father/grandfather in terms of looks and her mother/grandmother in terms of personality, her dirty-blonde hair being a clue of her direct descendant status from Lord Maegon and his wife, Lady Cordella. Her only brother, Alesander, even mentioned that her dirty-blonde hair is proof of the strong magic running through her veins, making one of the few members of the British Royal Family (through marriage and blood ties) that still harbors magic in her veins. She is usually accompanied by her two loyal Knights, Sir Malcolm O`Conner and Dame Iris O`Conner (both of them being Irish). Elizabeth uses her beauty as a façade to hide her cleverness, which makes her incredibly similar to her Northern cousins in that regard.

## Synopsis

### Season 1

Princess Elizabeth accompanies her parents to their ancestral palace located in the city of Camille (long deemed as the Holy Seat of the Kingdom of Phoenix) and first meets Camylle Egen (one of her future distant cousins in-laws), being told to make friends with each other by their respective fathers. Camylle surprised, as she is a low-ranking noble (ranked as a baronetess), which basically makes her a commoner; while Princess Elizabeth is the heir apparent to the throne of Phoenix (making Elizabeth more high-ranking than Camylle). Catelyn (the mother of Camylle), disapproves of Camylle`s friendship with the high-ranking Princess, even scolding for even talking to her superior (Princess Elizabeth). Though the Princess enjoyed her company greatly, her younger siblings were more dismissive than her (citing that her low status was the reason for such behavior); Arianna Tawney and Aranna Chaffton (Duchess and Marquess respectively), often mocked her friendship with the Princess calling her a "peasant", a "commoner", and even "low-born trash" on many such occasions. Nathaleya Chaffton, the older sister of Aranna Chaffton, disapproved of such behavior towards Camylle (as she was much younger than them and thus the Princess`s only friend). Mariyanna Rocke (also a baronetess), befriended the Princess as well as Camylle Egen, with the three girls becoming incredibly close to each other; in a way she became almost like a mother to Camylle (who always had her mother disapproving of every little things she did wrong). However, neither Mariyanna nor Camylle shows any sympathy when Arianna Tawney and Aranna Chaffton fall from a tower, citing their arrogance as the slight for their actions against the Princess. While riding their horses in the wetlands, Mariyanna and Camylle draw the Princess`s attention to a woodpecker and they draw the woodpecker in great detail.

A raven comes bearing the bad news of the death of King Robert, King Robert`s brother, Prince William of Atlantis, as well as the slaughter fest of Prince William`s wife, Princess Tarragon, and many of his other relatives; Princess Aragón (Robert`s daughter), Princess Aragon (William`s daughter), Princess Catelyn (William and Robert`s sister-in-law), Grand Duchess Alexei Nikolavich Romanova of Russia (distant cousin; 11th cousin), and Princess Anne of the United Kingdom (her aunt and her mother`s older sister). When she learns of her aunt Anne`s death, Elizabeth is filled with burning hatred and demands that the heads of the people who slaughtered her family be cut off; her other aunts are reviled by the suggestion put forth by Elizabeth but similarly seek revenge like her. Upon learning that the people who slaughtered her family members fled, Elizabeth asked if the bastards of her relatives` murderers also fled heavily implying that the same people who slaughtered her family (presumably a rival royal family) had fathered illegitimate children and by slaughtering a helpless mother and a unborn child they had committed high treason. As a close relative of the slaughtered family members, Elizabeth was eligible to do what she wished with the illegitimate children (once they were found, they were turned over the care of Princess Elizabeth and her family); in a rare act of kindness, she adopted them into her House thus legitimizing them and replacing the family members that been killed by her family`s murderers. Princess Olga (now Queen Olga), the older sister of King Robert and Prince William, as well as the aunt to Elizabeth, expressed her disapproval of these measures with the two females butting heads over it.

In Maestro, Olga reminds Elizabeth that the illegitimate children she adopted into her House were the children of the same people who murdered her family, with Olga warning her that they could turn on her at any moment. Elizabeth is heavily annoyed at her insolence and asks her whom her loyalty belongs to: Atlantis or the Mythical Nations. Olga replies neither and states that her loyalty lies with Elizabeth and the Graceling House, Elizabeth snorts and states that she could be named as a traitor for suggesting that she needed to keep a close eye on the illegitimate children she adopted which could bring the might of Elizabeth`s father crashing down on them. Considering the conversation finished, Olga leaves a frustrated Elizabeth behind who bitterly mutters that her children are "not bastards but rather her trueborn children"; it can be concluded from the conversation that Elizabeth doesn`t consider her adoptive children as illegitimate or bastards, but rather they remind her of her own unrecognized half-siblings and that is why she refuses to refer to them as "bastard children", which implies that she has a bad relationship with somebody who might have been a bastard themselves (possibly one of her own relatives who were born out of wedlock).

Duchess Anne-Sophie Auclair, Dauphin of France discovers the existence of the illegitimate children who were adopted into Elizabeth`s house, and writes an disparaging article on the Princess which enrages the royal family and brings the wrath of the other royal/imperial families down on her head. Elizabeth is merely amused by the outrage from the other ruling families, and comments that a "worthless pest like the Duchess deserves to be punished for her crimes". Duchess Anne-Sophie Auclair was sentenced to imprisonment for life, and all of her relatives were expelled from Phoenix, being deprived of their land, their money, and their identity as they too were found guilty of smearing the Princess` name. The illegitimate children whom she had adopted, became infuriated on behalf of their new mother and even mentioned to members of the High Council of Phoenix, that their mother deserves more respect than having her name smeared by a foreigner. In an unprecedented action, the High Council of Phoenix calmly assessed the situation and changed Anne-Sophie Auclair`s sentence from imprisonment for life to the death penalty for high treason against the Crown.

Duchess Marie-Paule Pleimelding, Elizabeth`s aunt, called the sentence "light" compared to more harsher punishments. Reine Cerfbeer (daughter of José Stuart, one of the people who murdered Elizabeth`s relatives), cited her adoptive mother as "soft-hearted" and "gentle" though she indicated that Elizabeth was no pushover by any means. Ariane Schaeffer (another one of Elizabeth`s "bastard children") is present upon the deathbed of the severely wounded, Princess Mélanie Cellier (the eldest niece of Princess Elizabeth) and says that she is sorry that Mélanie has to suffer, before giving her an odorless poison underneath the pretense that is water. Princess Mélanie dies happy, and thanks Ariane while she is dying, much to the shock of the general public (who both reviled her as well as feared her); having saved Princess Mélanie from further pain inflicted by her death, and made her a hero. She began being worshipped as a Goddess of Medicine, Death, the Underworld, and Poisons after the death of the Princess. Yvonne Donnet, one of Ariane`s worshippers, even remarked that Ariane was "Akame reincarnated"; Akame is the true supreme Goddess of Medicine, Death, the Underworld, and Poisons, which may suggest that upon the seizing of her territories by other greedy-filled Gods/Goddesses, Akame forcibly reincarnated in Ariane Schaeffer. Solène Fétique, Léonie Favre, Raphaëlle Gueguen, and Sandrine Granet (four more of Elizabeth`s "bastard children"), are gravely wounded in a hunting accident when their horses bucked them from their backs after being spooked by nearby hunters; Elizabeth was infuriated and forbade her "children" from venturing anywhere that was located faraway from the palace, thus guaranteeing their safety from being harmed by outside forces.

Prince Joffrey of the Winian Empire, Duke of the Lands of Doom, is taken into custody (for gravely wounding Princess Mélanie), and sentenced to death by hanging (a sentence which is neither commuted nor changed) by the King and Queen (Elizabeth`s parents and her children`s grandparents); Solène Fétique, Léonie Favre, Raphaëlle Gueguen, and Sandrine Granet cite it as "the happiest day of their life", while Reine Cerfbeer comments on it being "the most depressing day of her life" due to the large amount of clouds hanging over the city, leaving the citizens with a sense of a bad omen. Her two eldest younger siblings, Lyanna and Isobel comment on how "absolutely depressing the atmosphere is"; causing Elizabeth to call them "savages" to which they respond by attempting to punch her. As Prince Joffrey is sentenced to death, Elizabeth quietly comments that he "looks like a pig out to slaughter", which causes the entire crowd to erupt into raucous peals of laughter (as her younger siblings overhear her comments and loudly says them to the bloodthirsty-crowd)—much to the horror of the watching European dignitaries who comment on the "savagery" and the "savage ways" of the Phoenix Empire as "crude" and very violent to the point it is "horror-filled". Prince Joffrey`s sister, Princess Luna is horrified upon witnessing his death, as well as the laughter of the crowd but becomes disgusted upon learning that he had grievously wounded Princess Mélanie in a seemly-friendly sword duel with "real" swords. The Imperial Family is also disgusted with Joffrey`s actions, and attended his beheading with Princess Luna (Joffrey`s older sister)—Reine Cerfbeer is the only member of the Phoenix Royal Family disgusted with the public beheading of Joffrey, citing that the beheading of criminals were public but the beheading of princes/princesses were private events—indicating that they used to follow a tradition like that. The people of the Winian Council are horrified by the beheading, condemning his public beheading sentence while the Imperial Family were divided in terms of their decision—though they seemed to learn more towards "it was right", as indicated by many letters sent from them to Princess Elizabeth and her children. Elizabeth orders for Joffrey`s body to be burned to mere ashes and then dumped into the river due to comitting high treason against the Crown—more evidence resurfaced that he had intended to kidnap Elizabeth and forcibly marry her, which worsened his public image in the eyes of the public (whether Winian or otherwise).

Princess Luna sided with Princess Elizabeth over Joffrey`s execution, leading to the brief uniting of their Houses to proclaim Prince Joffrey a horrible person and strike his descendants from inheriting the throne, or being in the line of succession. In retribution for Princess Mélanie, Joffrey`s wife and children are imprisoned (as Joffrey and his wife had approved of the plot)—Joffrey`s wife was given to a Southern Lord and married off. While Joffrey`s children were stripped of their future inheritances and places in the line of the succession, and were given rule over the desolate Kingdom of Phantoms, which included the Shore of Phantoms, the Screaming Shore, the Vault of Bones, the Island of Skeletons, and the Weeping Vault—soldiers were sent with them to settle the land themselves, and some loyalists still loyal to Prince Joffrey ventured there with the two children of the Prince. The entire Kingdom was enveloped in a powerful magical barrier that ensured that Prince Joffrey, the loyalists and the two children would never age, as well as a powerful magic smog that concealed the Kingdom from peeping eyes.

Days later, Princess Elizabeth holds court in place of her sickly parents. Lord Tarragon shows the letter given to him by Prince Joffrey to Princess Elizabeth, which Princess Ariane tears into pieces and drops them on the floor after Elizabeth is done reading. Greatly displeased by the contents of the letter, Elizabeth is infuriated by the disrespect and insolence shown by Prince Joffrey, ordering the deaths of his close relatives (excluding some members of the Imperial Family and Princess Luna)—Joffrey`s children were also incensed by the contents of the letter as their father referred to them as "breeding mares", and calls for more executions sweep across the Kingdom`s countryside, cities, town, and capital city. In Winia, the calls for more executions sweep across the Empire`s countryside, cities, town, and capital city as well—left with no other choice, the leaders of the various countries in the Mythical Nations convene to discuss the issue in the Kingdom of Phantoms (which had been declared neutral by it`s rulers)—where they are greeted by King Philip and Queen Thalia on the Screaming Shore of the Kingdom.

From there they are taken by boat to the towering City of the Damned (where criminals were sent hundreds-upon-hundreds of years ago)—into the Infernal Temple (where a Conference Table is situated for their usage); while the leaders of the Mythical Nations are getting started with the conference, King Philip and Queen Thalia visit the Hallowgate Necropolis, having been overseeing the burial of another one of their men when they see something move in the circling fog, with Philip running after it—Thalia shouts for him to be careful to not get lost with her kissing a rosary as she waits for Philip to appear. When he fails to appear, Thalia is left at an impasse of what to do before deciding to run after him into the fog herself with a lantern. Even when she searched all over the Island of Skeletons for him, she failed to find him and became cold-hearted towards invaders and trespassers in her land by executing them without mercy. In doing so, she had called the attention of a few European nations to herself—those countries being Spain, Portugal, and England (who vied for the right to find their missing men); by calling attention to herself, three prominent Empires now sought for their missing men. In doing so, the wrath of Queen Thalia and the other member states of the Mythical Nations had come down upon them—believing the Europeans to be the killer of her older brother, King Philip, she ordered for them to stay away from her Kingdom and refused their ships to dock in her harbors, while declaring her Kingdom`s neutrality from the rest of the world.

### Season 2

Having reached her thirteenth birthday, Elizabeth is now ready to be engaged to a foreign ruler—Thalia suggests a Princess Imperial as having the security of an Empire over her head would help shield her Kingdom greatly—the suggestion pleases her sickly parents, with Thalia introducing her to Brienne of Prisma (the Princess Imperial and heir apparent of the Empire`s throne); both of them are taken with each other at first glance. When Thalia appears at court with grave news regarding the three major Empires converging on the shores of her Kingdom, Elizabeth and her parents are troubled by the news. Wary of the Europeans, the Mythical Nations convene for another meeting in Thalia`s Kingdom, during which Thalia curses the Europeans coming ashore on the shores with the Curse of Lead, which turns their limbs into lead before ordering her soldiers to murder them for daring to come ashore on her Kingdom`s shores. These events are witnessed by European spies who draw sketches of Queen Thalia, Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Ariane which are shown to the various European rulers across the European continent (including the Tsar and Tsarina of Russia). A few days later, Queen Thalia is perturbed when she spots visitors standing at the doors of the Necropolis though she coldly rebukes their efforts to make conversation with her and tells them to "go drown like the scum they are", which heavily confuses them. While following Talia, they spot Princess Elizabeth, Princess Imperial Brienne, and Princess Ariane riding horses across the rough terrain of Thalia`s kingdom laughing and throwing quips at each other with much gusto, while the guards ride alongside the princesses and behind them in order to ensure their safety. John gifts the necklace that had once belonged to his mother, The Tender Twin Choker to Elizabeth with Elizabeth accepting the gift and passing it onto Thalia who wears it in reminder of her own twin brother (Philip). After Avalon sent a proclamation of war to her, Elizabeth is seen using the artifact known as the Twilight Mirror to full effectiveness by seeing the movements of the enemy troops and sending troops to destroy their ships.

Avalon continues to win against Thalia`s allies. Furious, Thalia has some of the Avalonian soldiers she captured brought into the throne room. Before the whole court, she demands they answer for their crimes and threatens to kill them by feeding them a poison made from deadly nightshade. Instead she orders one of her soldiers to let them contract hypothermia and die fully clothed in one of the Necropolis`s baths. Kanao interrupts the proceeding and softly chides Thalia for thinking too gently upon the Avalonian soldiers, suggesting they be injected with specially-made nightshade poison, and they be burned alive on a pyre. Arrdmadra retorts by asking Thalia if she has any honor, which infuriates Thalia—Elizabeth steps in and asks Arrdmadra to refrain from speaking at the present moment and that such a conversation can be continued later. Matilldis responds by asking Thalia when will the Avalonian troops will next land on the shores of the Screaming Shore. When the answer is two days, Thalia becomes indignant as well as drops her friendly façade and orders Matilldis to prepare for their landing by cursing the Screaming Shore and banning anybody not of her royal knights or any other knightly order from stepping on the shore to prevent from being cursed themselves. Matilldis bows to Thalia and promises to follow her orders. Elizabeth intervenes by telling the Council that tonight they will feast to the sight of Europeans being cursed by the magic of the Old Ones which causes the members of the Council to erupt into huge peals of laughter.

Talking to Thalia, Elizabeth decides that she must marry soon for Thalia`s sake which Thalia refuses to listen to, declaring that the Europeans and the Avalonians are her problems not those of Elizabeth. Even so Elizabeth insists, and Thalia reluctantly gives her blessing to the future marriage of the couple. On her fourteenth birthday, Elizabeth was married to the Princess Imperial, Brienne of Prisma, with Thalia attending as one of the wedding guests. Many European dignitaries go to the marriage, with Thalia ordering that guards assigned to guard the wedding chapel from her own honor guard be banned from drinking even a drop of alcohol which makes some of them slightly upset. After Elizabeth has a rock thrown at her, Thalia motions for her guards to escort them back to their bedchambers for the night, and to stand guard outside their bedchambers to ensure that nobody got in. After leaving the wedding chapel, Elizabeth visits the Hallowgate Necropolis where she spends the entire night watching over Princess Mélanie`s grave, only to be awakened by her soldiers begging her to flee from the invading troops. Charlotte Voce and Kate Voce (two of the invading Europeans) are instantly killed by the cursed sand sitting on the Screaming Shore. Elizabeth is notified of Thalia being attacked and rides out to the Screaming Shore with her new spouse, spotting Thalia in disinterest watching two people screaming in pain as they convulsed on the ground before finally dying. Thalia meets Elizabeth`s raised eyebrow before pointing to the invading Europeans who are warily glancing at the cursed Screaming Shore, before they begin to walk away from the Screaming Shore.

Princess Margaret, owner of the Lunar Blossom (a late 10th-century antique Norman consort crown) sails on Avenger with a fleet of over 200 ships. Elizabeth is determined to met her in personal, though Thalia warns her against letting Margaret touch even a single toe on the sand of the Screaming Shore due to the "now" cursed nature of the beach itself. Cersei speculates if her younger sister is going to stay, though Thalia warns her to stop speculating less she end up with her head hacked off her neck must to the disgust of Elizabeth who insists on her being more eloquent. Thalia scoffs at the notion and states that in her country, they have little time for pleasantries, and by the laws of nature, they have to be less eloquent than their southern neighbors (the Kingdom of Phoenix). And if they must use crude words and biting humor to get their point across, so be it.

Elizabeth acquires an antique diadem from the Greek city of Corinth (believed to be the diadem of Queen Corinth) and repairs it using magic, preparing to present it to Princess Margaret as an belated wedding present, due to the theft of Margaret`s own Corinth diadem (believed to be the diadem of Queen Corinth`s great-grandmother). Upon receiving the diadem, Princess Margaret is stunned and also incredibly happy as it is a near-perfect replica of her own stolen diadem. In return, Elizabeth receives the Lunar Blossom as her belated wedding gift. Thalia additionally gives her own wedding presents to Princess Margaret, artifacts known as the Gem of Rebirth, the Guardian Ark, and the Warding Goblet (which the Princess can use to protect herself with). In return, the Princess hands over two incredibly dangerous artifacts known as the Oblivion Key, and the Key of the Void (both of which are artifacts of destruction). Thalia agrees to keep them safe and out of the hands of the Avalonians to the best of her ability.

The absence of the Royal Fleet slightly concerns the elated Elizabeth but leaves Thalia, as well as a sharp-eyed Margaret incredibly wary. Soon after they begin riding back to the capital, European soldiers surround them with Margaret cursing their existence. Before they are taken into custody by the European soldiers, their own soldiers come to free them and severely wound the Europeans by using cross-bows and kicking them off the cliffs thus breaking their necks. Myrcella was born on the seventeenth day of the month (around the same time that Brienne ascended as the new Emperor) which made her daughter (Myrcella) a Princess Imperial and the heir apparent (as the firstborn child of her parents); Myrcella is given the middle name of "Thalia" much to the surprise of Thalia and her ministers in order to honor one of Phoenix`s newest allies. Catelyn (one of Myrcella`s half-aunts) comments on Myrcella`s future personality calling her "feisty" and "powerful" like her mother.

## Personality

Elizabeth was polite and well-spoken but filled with an internal rage that was often compared to the rage of the seven seas carefully tucked away underneath a smiling façade. Aspects of her *massive* internal rage were always present, such as when she callously calls for Prince Joffrey`s head *despite* the protesting of her or when one of her ministers cut her off in the middle of her sentence and she asked him whether he thought lowly of her in a meancing tone of voice. As a child, she was a picture-perfect child and rarely-if-ever spoke out though that changed as she gradually grew older. As a result of her father`s infidelity (having fathered many bastard children), Elizabeth became a supporter of her mother`s cause for her or any one of Elizabeth`s siblings to be placed on the throne of the Kingdom of Phoenix - her father learned of the plan however and Elizabeth refused to talk regarding the matter. It can be said of Elizabeth - anybody who gains her loyalty will earn it for life, threatening her with death or even threatening to torture her to the brick of death will never change her mind; making her one of the few people who cannot be broken underneath any normal circumstances. She holds a strong sense of duty towards her people as well as allies of her Kingdom best shown in these instances - after European warships were spotted hovering near the tip of Thalia`s Kingdom, Elizabeth married to protect both Thalia, Thalia`s Kingdom, as well as her own Kingdom and it`s people.

In *wide* contrast to her standing on matters of state duties to her future Kingdom and it`s people, Elizabeth is *quite* naïve about things such as a menstrual cycle and a period, requiring a nursemaid to tell her *exactly* what they are; this showcases her naivety. Her mother raised her to care only about duties and never taught her about her body`s natural progression into womanhood, thus she doesn`t possess most skills of noble ladies nor their delicate skin complexion - rather she had been hardened and tempered on various battlefields and thus possesses a man`s mindsight rather than that of a woman. She is a skilled tactician - able to lure even the most calmest of her enemies to their deaths showcasing her brutality.

### Reincarnation

Initially, Elizabeth showed no signs of being a reincarnation *unlike* some of her more *distant* relatives, including Duchess Jericho and, to a lesser extent, her "bastard child" Ariane. Like most members of her house that are reincarnations - Elizabeth is ruthless to her enemies though to a lesser extent than somebody like Lady Valerie Tasmania of the Kingdom of Lluvia or Princess Ismania of Kingdom Eisenhower. Though she undeniably has the same steeled resolve (as her previous life), it is tempered underneath a layer of heavy caution that has never led her astray. The 98th reincarnation of the disputed and legendary Queen Himiko, she is incredibly wise and a skilled shamaness (like her previous lives), carrying the favor of the Sun Goddess (Amaterasu). She began to display these natural abilities in spades, unwittingly showing that she was a reincarnation of Queen Himiko:

* **Clairvoyance**: An innate ability to see future and current events with incredible clarity (far surpassing Queen Himiko`s own clairvoyance), as well as distinguish between two different timelines simply by mentally watching them happen in her mind while she sleeps. This ability is said to be so strong, that even Queen Thalia acknowledged the might of Elizabeth`s clairvoyance.

## Abilities

* **Archery** - Elizabeth is one of the most skilled archers, capable of shooting an bull-eyes flight arrow from 1,000 feet away; making her one of the most powerful and highly skilled archers in the series. Even when riding on horseback, she could still fire an arrow from a relatively-decent distance and trajectory - adjusting to suit the environment around her. She is also very cunning, using her archery in unexpected ways such as: shooting Jaden in the chest (to avenge Ryan and Riley`s deaths), sending up a warning flare (to warn her soldiers to move away), sniping several of her enemies in one shot, and poisoning her enemies (a common practice among her kingdom`s archers).
* **Cold Immunity** - Due to the cold environment of her home, she is immune to the cold and seemly unfazed by it - even when a visiting bratty Prince splashed cold water (enough to give anybody hypothermia) in her face, she remained unfazed and calmly reminds the Prince that she is a true Northern Princess and thus the cold doesn`t bother her. Her cold immunity is so high, that she is even capable of swimming in subarctic waters without wincing, and even capable of standing in a snowstorm unbothered by the cold in only a single dress, further emphasizing her cold immunity.
* **Enhanced Vision** - Elizabeth possesses extremely sharp eyesight, even rivaling that of either one of her parents. Just by observing subtle visual cues, as well as the tensing of muscles, feet, facial expressions - she is capable of determining whether somebody is a threat or not, having done so for many foreign people who wished to join the Kingdom`s military of their own accord.
* **Time Magic**: Elizabeth is one of the most powerful Magic users in the entire world, if not the most powerful she comes fairly close to being the strongest - easily stopping time in it`s tracks with a snap of her fingers. Due to it`s nature, the strain taken on her body is enormous and she is constantly in pain - the
* **Immense Willpower**: Due to the nature of her Time Magic, the strain taken on her body is enormous and she is constantly in pain - despite that, she bears it all with a smile. Her willpower was so strong, that she pushed herself to her feet to kick Draco in one of his kneecaps - despite knowing that she would suffer silently after doing so.

## Titles

Elizabeth III is one of the several people who claim descendant status from the British Royal Family, who bear the first name "Elizabeth". The first Elizabeth was a Queen in her own right and a member of the Tudor Dynasty, who lived several centuries before Elizabeth III. The second Elizabeth, is also a Queen - being Elizabeth II, while the current Elizabeth is Elizabeth III. As the rightful heir of her father, she is styled officially as "Elizabeth of Houses Windsor and Graceling, the Defender of Mankind" (the Phoenix royal court is the first to address her by that title). Elizabeth is quite fond of her "Grace" sobriquet, however, and frequently substitutes it for "Defender of Mankind".

According to her personal advisers, Elizabeth`s full title is "Elizabeth Grace of Houses Windsor and Graceling, heir apparent of the Burning Ashes Throne, Princess of the Shadow Realm, the Defender of Mankind, the *Great Princess* of Warriors, the *Valkyrie* *Empress* of the Valkyrie Nation, the *Supreme Ruler* of Clairvoyance, the *Guardian of the Rift*".

* Due to being descended through the female line from Queen Elizabeth II, she is technically in the British line of succession but rather farther down (near the bottom) - as heirs to other Kingdoms are technically prohibited from inheriting the throne of other Kingdoms (underneath clause #23 of the Phoenix line of succession), technically she would be barred from inheriting (a unlikely event considering how far down in the line of succession she is).
* As one of the only fully-human Valkyries, she is also one of the weakest warriors (barely even holding power) - her title as the Valkyrie Empress was only given after she had proven her worth in combat - making one of the few members that earned the right by right of combat in a far fight. She is also one of the most respected and is referred to as "Lady Empress". The Valkyrie Nation, is the homeland of the Valkyries and by right of conquest (even after marrying, she never lost the right to reign over them), she is their Empress.
* Her clairvoyance abilities are second-to-none, making her one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful person who can see into the future (in the entire series) - her clairvoyance abilities are so powerful that she earned the tile of "the *Supreme Ruler* of Clairvoyance".
* The Rift - a dangerous region between dimensions, traditionally guarded by the House of Graceling. The heir apparent is automatically granted the ability to open the gate to the Rift, known as a *Key of the Void* - a powerful key that only destroy by sucking things into the rift.

## Relationships

* **Lyanna Graceling**: The most skilled acrobat of her time and one of Elizabeth`s younger sisters, whom she loves greatly and with all of her heart. The two share a powerful relationship (which even transcends death), as Lyanna briefly returned using her strong willpower to anchor herself in the mortal plane to deliver her older sister (Elizabeth III) a powerful message that allowed her to defeat her enemies. When one of her enemies mentioned that it was a shame that Lyanna died, as he would have bedded her - this infuriated the Princess to the point where she slowly tortured him before she killed him - an act that horrified the Princess after she regained her composure. The Princess secretly harbored a wish to regain Lyanna by using the Gem of Rebirth - a wish that one of her adoptive daughters described as "unsettling". Upon witnessing what would happen if she used the Gem of Rebirth - she destroyed it in a desperate attempt to keep it from evil hands. Due to the power contained in the Gem of Rebirth itself, the backlash permeantly mutilated Lyanna`s body and temporarily killed Elizabeth - so horrified by Elizabeth`s sacrifice, the God of Death (Hades) allowed her to return to the Land of the Living. It is speculated that Lyanna loved her older sister both platonically (in her earlier childhood), and then romantically (in her earlier teens and her later life) - Elizabeth even eluded to this love by mentioning that she had loved once, a lovely female with flaxen-blonde hair (the color of wheat) and silver eyes (both features of her late younger sister).

## Quotes

* (To Lyanna) "*The men who come banging at our doors are no people..they are vile Lils.*"
* (To Isobel) "*Says the girl who`s head is a literal lethal weapon.*"
* (To Lyanna) "*I would watch out, there`s been some rumors..of Isobel and her forehead butting business.*"
* (To Miriam) "*Do be careful when seeing my sister, Isobel, please? It would pain me greatly to have my guest uncomfortable with the arrangements that I made. Especially with my sisters` bedchambers placed on either sides of your bedchambers.*"
* (To Jane) "*It`s a pity that my forehead is not as powerful as Isobel`s. Such a pity.*"

## Trivia

* Elizabeth is the eldest child and first child of her parents: Alexei VII and Noelle. It is implied that her parents had other children before her but only one of them had their name revealed: Athena (though the eldest of Elizabeth`s older siblings), died in an war with Avalon along with some of the other children pursuing other occupations except ascending to the throne - as none of them wanted to become King/Queen.
* Her nickname of "Rabbit Girl" is a reference to the many rabbits she keeps as pets.
