A strong and dynamic woman and a great queen who aged badly. Never the less she and Oberon had a mostly political marriage that he dissolved when he met Clarissa. Divorced and bitter, she left Amber and retired to shadow. Her whereabouts were not public knowledge for many years. Her treatment is a source of long bitterness between her sons and Oberon, as well as with Random. | A strong and dynamic woman and a great queen who aged badly.

When Random was imprisoned by Eric for attempted assasination she joined him in prison. They spent 4 months together in an 8x12 cell.
