? Personality

In public, Galanode embodies the ideal of elven grace and majesty ? poised, wise, and dignified. To her court, she is the unshakable moonlight over Larethiel: serene and untouchable.
Yet beneath that veneer lies a woman consumed by loneliness, longing, and guilt. Her passions burn bright and dangerously private, often finding release behind silken curtains and trusted confidants. Her secrets are buried deep within her palace?s mirrored halls, hidden even from her closest advisors.

Her double life isn?t one of hypocrisy, but of yearning ? she believes that indulgence and desire are as sacred as duty, yet she hides them to preserve her throne?s sanctity. Every act of secrecy deepens her inner fracture.

?? Backstory

Born into the noble House of Moonwhisper, Galanode was destined for the crown from her first breath. She ruled with grace and intellect, forging alliances through charm and diplomacy. Her reign ushered in a golden age of culture and artistry in Larethiel, earning her the epithet The Silver Voice.

Then came Galadriel ? her only child, born of a forbidden romance with a wandering celestial scholar. Galadriel inherited her father?s brilliance and her mother?s fire, but vanished before coming of age, leaving behind only fragments of silver feathers and a burned sigil from an unknown realm.

Galanode?s rule has since grown cold. Behind her radiant smile, she searches endlessly ? through spies, diviners, and dangerous pacts ? for a sign of her daughter?s fate.
Some whisper that she?s struck bargains with fey lords and succubi, that her dreams are haunted by visions of a fallen star in mortal form. Others say she already knows the truth? and cannot bear to speak it.

?? Secrets & Duality

Secret Desire: Galanode believes love and pleasure are divine expressions of the soul ? and her nightly trysts are not mere indulgence, but ritual acts honoring Hanali Celanil.

Courtly Mask: To preserve her dynasty?s image, she feigns disinterest in such mortal things, playing the cold and distant monarch.

Conflict: Her secret lovers often become pawns in her political web ? sometimes willingly, sometimes not. The line between love, manipulation, and devotion blurs dangerously.

Fear: That her daughter may have inherited her wild heart? and been consumed by it.
