All Hail the Queen Mum
Hey all! Jaime here with my second character, Her Majesty, the Queen Mother of Scotland, Mairi Macmillan.
Dowager Queen Mairi is a very sweet woman, elegant and graceful and always the picture perfect queen with a notion of duty and majesty, a woman who would have loved to have a castle full of children had fate not decided she would only have the one. She is firm but kind with the servants of the castle and manages palace affairs well. She is motherly yet strict with her ladies-in-waiting, seeing herself as a substitute mother who is preparing them for their eventual lives as wives and mothers. She is also supremely diplomatic, an excellent gardener, and an adoring grandmother.
And as of Saturday, is in deep mourning for her husband.
To the outer world, she will be dignified in her mourning, but behind closed doors, her tears will be real and copious. And when her mourning is less pronounced, she will be very adamant about finding out who killed King Padraig, and will demand answers. Once she has those answers, God help the one who killed him.
Am open to any and all plottage!!! Included in this is her history of miscarriages before she finally had Ernest - could it have been a result of potions, sabotage against the Scottish throne? Also, send your ladies-in-waiting her way - but behave ;)
