The idea of this character actually came to me from a dream I had once where I was stuck inside this dystopian Private School which was being run by a Queen who encouraged constant competition between her student to be top ranked above everyone else in order to earn a special role serving her. Somehow I managed to convince her current star pupil to help hide me despite great personal risk to himself.
Kamantari the Valkirtani Queen
Gender: Female
Background: Kamantari is the Ruling Queen of one of the largest hidden Valkirtani haven cities deep underground where they believe they are safe from being discovered by the Tannin above. But an entire civilization living underground with no access to the surface, sunlight, fresh air, and other necessary resources is under constant threat from food shortages, cave ins, toxic fumes and other particles in the air, etc...So the laws of her kingdom are strictly enforced to ensure Order but do not strictly make her dragons more safe or provide them a better chance of survival under threat that any major change to the status quo will attract the Tannin to come kill them. They can't pipe in fresh air cause the Tannin might notice. We can't dig out more living space here, the Tannin might notice. You dare disobey the Queen's Authority, do you want to bring the Tannin here? And despite the suffering of her own dragons the Queen gets to enjoy the best conditions of the underground away from mine dust and fumes, she is consistently served meals from whatever is managed to be grown or caught, she lives in a gigantic intricately carved Palace with cavernous amounts of empty space, and every Precious Gem and Metal dug up from the underground decorates her halls, despite gemstones being an important magical resource.
Valkirani naturally have very versatile magical powers whose application is only limited by knowledge and understanding the mechanics of Magics and Science. Powers like these could be used to solve many of the problems that come with living underground like cleansing the air and making artificial light sources that mimic the sun, but she purposefully keeps most of her subjects in the dark, not trusting them to wield such power lest they attract the Tannin or worse try to rebel against her, so she keeps the knowledge of how to use magic to herself and within her closest inner circle of confidants from a special academy which takes a limited number of children from a young age, and trains them to be obedient and fanatically reverent of their queen, but only one of them who is given the top rank of their class is trusted to learn Magic from the Queen herself, while the others become fanatical Soldiers and Guards, and her subjects are typically willing to turn over their children because it's the best shot they have at having a better life.
Personality: Kamantari is a dragoness who is ruled by her paranoia. She fears that the Tannin may one day discover her kingdom and kill everyone, she fears her own subjects hating her and rebelling against her, she believes there are villains and conspiracy almost everywhere, in her mind she is justified being as cruel as she must be because everyone thinks the same as she does and would do the same to her. She also believes she deserves to be the queen so she turns her own fears on her subjects hoping that if they all fear the same things as her then it will keep her safe. Everyone must obey her commands or else any slip-up could lead to killer Tannin discovering their Underground Safe Haven. Nobody can disobey their queen because she is the only dragoness with the means and power to keep them all safe, so if anything happened to her then they would all be completely helpless.
Strengths: Charisma, Magical Knowledge, Royal Authority
Weaknesses: Paranoid, Greedy, Coward
Powers: Valkirtani Magic
Stats
Stamina: 4/10
Her physical ability is below average for what a Valkirtani like her should be like under natural conditions, but she is in the best health of all of her subjects receiving special care and treatment as the Queen.
Control: 7/10
She has studied and trained in Valkirtani Magic which she has practiced over years, but mostly uses her magic for displays of power rather than solving problems.
Intelligence: 9/10
She has the single most access to scientific and magical knowledge and records of history collected from the fall of the old Valkirtani Empire, and prizes this knowledge above any of her other treasures.
Combat Ability: 2/10
She is very much lacking in actual combat ability and experience having never actually needed to lift one of her own claws to get things done and avoiding conflict out of fear. If a fight broke out she would likely run away and hide.
