Description

A human queen stands rigidly with her arms folded, her face set in a thunderous frown and her gaze glaring fiercely. Her complexion flushes crimson with fury and may deepen to purple as her anger rises. Give her a commanding storybook-royal bearing, with a crown and richly formal court attire; other physical details are not established by the descriptions. A human queen with a commanding, theatrical presence, standing with her arms folded and her face set in a thunderous frown. Her expression can sharpen into a wild-beast glare, and anger brings a vivid crimson or purple flush to her face. Dress her in formal royal court clothing and give her a forceful, upright bearing; the text does not specify her exact features, hair, or garments.
