Poor angry Surela.
Physical Description
DID I REALLY NEVER TALK ABOUT SURELA'S LOOKS, LIKE NOT EVEN AN EYE COLOR
Apparently her hair used to be floor-length. And she has small feet.[1]
History/Bio
Prior to the Coup
(Speaking to motivations: "Tradition would serve them, as it always had. There was nothing out there for the Eldritch save cruelty and danger and jealousy and the avarice of people who had not their talents, their beauty, or the wisdom brought to them by their lifespans. No… better to remain withdrawn, where they could live their lives in peace. Surela regretted deposing Liolesa in the fashion she had, but the former queen had brought it on herself; by Surela's way of thinking, it was fated that weapons of the very cultures Liolesa had been unwisely courting should end her reign."[2]

Was always interested in Hirianthial (since before he was married, and despite their disparate political leanings). "She'd not forgiven him for choosing Laiselin over her, but he suspected she'd marry him anyway if she could force him to the altar....her and every other eligible woman at court. He had forgotten that he was something worth chasing." [3] But after Hirianthial rejected her to marry Laiselin, she stopped thinking of marriage, until by the time of the coup her feelings had shifted: "The thought of marrying him was absurd. That was one habit of Liolesa's Surela thought well worth keeping. Men were troublesome and vain and needed constant attention, and given swords they inevitably turned to rattling them at one another to have something useful to do. And babies! Not that she didn't find them pleasing, but to spend nearly a full year of her life burdened when she had so much to do already?"[4]
Athanesin had been paying court to Surela since her come-out.[5]
Before Lunet's birth, Surela didn't think much of having children (and considered it an imposition on her duty to rule as queen during the coup: "Of course. Because what she most wanted to do was waste her time raising a child when she should be running a kingdom.").[4]
Quotes
- "Though it is a bit mean, don't you think? There is such a thing as too much humility, particularly for a man of your estate, Lord Hirianthial." [6]
- "I would have welcomed you at my side before I knew you preferred the company of mortals to that of people. I am almost grateful to Liolesa for exposing this facet of your character to me."[6]
- "Those of us who disagree with the Queen's foreign policy, who have always disagreed with it, have never been allowed to speak our minds...or when we do, we are dismissed. But Liolesa Galare will see us ruined! Do we really want mortals overrunning our world? Do we want to mingle our blood with that of our lessers? And now this! A mind-mage? She brought a mind-mage into our midst? Knowingly? I think it's time for me to speak the thought in everyone's mind. It is time for the Galare dynasty to end!"[6]
- "You are asking me to live my life as the Traitor. The One Week Usurper. To be known forever for my treason the way Athanesin will surely be forever known as the Butcher of Jisiensire."[7]
Trivia
- fond of raspberries [8]
- clenches her teeth when angry [4]
- She called Reese Liolesa's 'loyal pet', once ("She'll only live a fraction of her years, but that's how it goes with pets").[6]
