Queen Adama
“Some truths are not spoken aloud. They are carried.”
Age: 86
Long before prophecy stirred and kingdoms fractured, Adama stood within the inner circles of knowledge. A widow by circumstance and a Queen by necessity, she learned early that leadership is not always visible, nor is it always recognised.
As mother to Empress Subira, Adama has lived multiple lives within one — ruler, protector, witness, and guide. She has seen cycles rise and fall, and understands that survival often depends on restraint rather than force.
Once a Sister of the Fold of Aluke, Adama was exposed to the deeper workings of the scrolls long before they became matters of fear or desire. She stepped away from overt power not because she lacked it, but because she understood its cost.
Her loyalty lies with the royal bloodline, yet it is not blind. She serves Nu Oarren through wisdom, not command — advising King Javari when needed, steadying Subira when the burden grows heavy, and safeguarding truths that could fracture the realm if mishandled.
Adama does not interfere lightly.
But when she does, it is deliberate.
Background & Loyalties
Graceful, incisive, and unwavering, Adama speaks with clarity sharpened by experience. Her presence calms rooms without effort, and her silence often communicates more than speeches ever could.
She is warm, witty, and deeply perceptive, yet entirely capable of ending a conversation — or a threat — with a single look. Adama observes patiently, intervening only when consequence outweighs caution.
She does not rush fate.
She prepares others to face it.
Personality
Dark-skinned and elegantly composed, Adama wears age as distinction rather than burden. Her long red braids frame a face marked by serenity and authority in equal measure.
Dressed in finely embroidered royal garments, she moves with unhurried confidence. Every gesture is purposeful, every step grounded in ceremony and memory. She does not seek attention; it arrives naturally.
Appearance
Though no longer a warrior in form, Adama’s power lies in discernment. She possesses a commanding presence capable of dismantling opposition without physical force.
Trained in martial disciplines in her earlier years and gifted with profound perception, she understands when to act and when to allow events to unfold. Her strength is knowing the difference.
Adama does not wield weapons.
She wields understanding.
