Anjelika Weisenburg

*"Wear your scars with pride, and protect those who have none." - Queen-Commander Anjelika Weisenburg*

Anjelika Weisenburg, the Scarred, is the current Queen-Commander of the Kingdom of Whytehold, Queen of the City of Whytehold, Lady of the White Cape, Silvershire, West Izir, and the Hinterwald, and Stone Queen of Svoldia, as of 20.88.

She is a proud, strong woman, skilled in combat. She has long red hair, and a large scar on her cheek.

Despite having all the titles and honours of queen, Anjelika still believes she is merely Queen-Regent until Queen-Commander Reinhilde "Thunderheart" Valimarr returns from the quest she began so long ago.

## History

Anjelika Weisenburg gained renown during Queen-Commander Reinhilde's campaigns against the rest of the world. Although only 16 at the start of the wars, she proved to be especially brave and honourable and soon ascended the ranks.

Over subsequent years Anjelika rose through the ranks and was a Knight-Commander by the time she was 21 years old. She gained the nickname of "The Dark Horse", referencing both her family banner, and the manner in which she rose up out of nowhere to become an influential individual.

Anjelika has had many challenges during her reign, but has held strong. She rooted out corruption within the High Court when The Cabal of Erradan came close to gaining a foothold. She held strong against the White Plague which swept through Tyrrus during the former part of the 20.80s. She rallied her armies against the Izir Confederacy and made important deals and alliances with Izero.

Anjelika is renowned as a supporter of ambitious knights, especially those from poorer backgrounds. When Darius Lestrade saved her life in battle, she offered him the position of Queen's Cavalier. When the mysterious Bastard Knight, Beowulf Blackbuck, came second in the Festival of Steel of 20.87, she offered him a knighthood, against the wishes of most of the nobility.

## Relations

### Family

Anjelika is a member of the noble Weisenburg family, but is not a direct heir to the family line.

Anjelika has not taken a husband, and has no children.

### Political Relations

Anjelika likes Cyrus II of Erdannia, even though the two kingdoms are at war. She considers him to be the only good person in Erdannian politics.

Anjelika shares the hatred for the Dominion of New Haven that the previous queen, Reinhilde, held. She particularly despises the Immortal Emperor Mirvalbadir.

Anjelika is good friends with Thane Skegul Biornling, who she defeated in the duel for Svoldia, and often drinks with him when she visits.

## Description

### Personality

Queen-Commander Anjelika Weisenburg is often viewed as the epitome of the perfect Whytehold knight. She is honourable, strong, honest, and wise. However, nobody is perfect, and Anjelika is often criticised for having a short temper.

Anjelika is known for having an iron resolve. She is decisive, assertive, and will not back down from any challenge. Because of this, it is easy for the Whytehold people to follow her.

### Skills

Anjelika was once one of the greatest fighters in all of Whytehold. Her age has slowed her slightly, and the burden of leadership has given her less time to practice fighting, but she is still a formidable opponent. Those who have seen Anjelika in battle describe her as a relentless warrior, fighting long after she should have fallen. Her willpower is supposedly legendary.

Anjelika is a confident and inspirational leader.
