Nualia is the sitting queen of the Dark Elf empire of Vael'Aser. First Divined onto the Throne at the relatively young age of 75, she has held her position for just shy of 90 years.
Born into one of the lesser aristocratic bloodlines, Nualia was raised as a noblewoman. As such, while her Divination after the death of the previous Queen was unexpected, her transition into regal life was not overly difficult. She was briefly married to her childhood sweetheart, Rina, for roughly 15 years, with whom she fathered (see Unity) her sole legitimately-recognized child, Caldreth. Caldreth was born just shy of a year after Nualia's Divination, first conceived a few short months before.
Rina was herself born into an upper-Common family, which made Nualia's relationship with her uncommon, though far from unheard-of. Herself a bit of an antiestablishment rebel in her youth, Nualia found Rina's outspoken radicality attractive. However, Nualia quickly snapped herself to reality and fell back to the training she was given as a youth once she was Divined onto the Throne; her wife's perceptions of reality did not change in tandem. While Nualia was content to relegate their staple discussions of anarchism to pillow-talk, Rina was a zealous believer, and attempted to manipulate her wife's reign and mold it after her own extreme political beliefs. Nualia grew increasingly resistant to Rina's manipulations, until the ever-increasing strain on their marriage eventually lead to an explosive falling-out between the two, resulting in Rina storming out of the Royal Keep, with a decree banning her from ever returning hot on her heels. She took infant Caldreth with her, and with that, Nualia's relationship with both her ex-wife and her daughter ceased.
Nualia has not remarried since, and has grown cold to the thought of romance in general, eschewing the concept of lovers in favor of more cynical sex, of both casual and political function. In the reigning years since, she has sired a few dozen children, almost entirely with Labor-caste servants; none of these children are recognized by the Throne as legitimate, and their mothers and upbringings are underhandedly supported by the Throne in exchange for the families' silence on the childrens' parentage.
"Controlled" is a word often used to describe the aura about Nualia; calm and collected, she leverages both cool logic and sly words to manipulate her way through all endeavors, political or personal. A brutal combination of her naturally-adept intelligence, noble raising, and sheer exposure to the world of politics has sharpened her ability to see right through people to both their intents and desires, and she honed the craft of exploiting the latter to manipulate the former. Nualia is always calculating, and while she has a reputation for giving up an exceptional amount of ground in negotiation and compromise, she never accepts a deal that doesn't somehow result in the betterment of her own position.
Despite her perpetual maneuvering, Nualia is not motivated by self-interest: her pledge to serve her Empire is sincere. As a rebellious youth, she fantasized of hugely-ambitious ways to better Vael'Aser and the lives of the people within: as a determined queen, she has learned that change comes not in tidal waves, but in drops of rain. Every move she makes is one she wholeheartedly believes will improve the long-term health of Vael'Aser - through strengthening the Empire's political health, the people within will be able to grow into freer and more luxurious ways of life. She understands that change is inexorably slow, spanning multiple generations of even the long-lived Elves; and she also understands that sometimes the short-time has to suffer for the long-term to better.
As such, she is willing to sacrifice the lives of individual subjects - even entire ranks of soldiers, should the need arise - without hesitation or flinching. She has suffered this personally, as her commitment to her throne cost her not only her relationship with her childhood-sweetheart and daughter, but forever spurned the very concept of love and family for her. Her own happiness is secondary.
The Empire always comes first.
All of that being said, Nualia is an exceptionally sexual creature, with the narcissistic ego to match. She was blessed with the largest busts of all Elves currently living, and is one of the bustiest Elves in all of the Empire's history; Nualia is acutely aware of this, and unashamedly leverages this fact toward her advantage. Her large butt, wide hips, and huge breasts make her irresistably attractive to males of other species almost universally, and raises sexual desire in even many females of various races. Through such, sexual favors are a common currency in her negotiations, both with foreign governments and with local Aristocrats, whom hold significant administrative clout and legal control over the laws of the Empire. She has earned an untarnished reputation for her word: if she pledges a diplomat her body for the night, she eagerly offers them free reign to indulge themselves until the rays of the sun fall upon the Empire's walls.
She behaves much the same in her sensuopolitical escapades as she does in her sociopolitical ones - on the surface, eager to please her partner and submit to their every whim, but always with an undercurrent of manipulation and control. She has a particular affinity for being restrained in bondage, but despite however much control she surrenders in the bedroom, she ensures that her partners keep in mind that she is always in control. She is the Queen of the Empire, and they are guests to not only her body, but her own sexual indulgence. Should they ever cross a line or otherwise displease her, that not only ends their current session, but any hopes of another session in the future. Indeed, violating Nualia's sexual trust is well-known to lead to unceremonious exile for locals, and threats of war declarations against foreign diplomats.
While her eagerness and lust in such escapades are sincere, it is uncommon for Nualia to pursue penetrative partners for her own sexual indulgence. She prefers being the penetrating partner, through the use of Unity. She generally uses a "recreational" form of the spell which renders her sterile during the session, but she will on occasion use the full spell, usually via a Unity ring, which renders her magically-induced semen potent. Such escapades are almost universally with her serving girls, many of whom come from underprivileged Labor families. While the vast majority of these encounters are harmless, it is not unheard-of for a serving girl to leave Nualia's quarters freshly pregnant. Stress is a particular trigger for Nualia, where she uses her Unity ring in combination with timid or ignorant serving girls as a quick way to fuck her frustrations away; one time, during a particularly stressful negotiation period with an unrealistically obstinate nation-state, she ended up impregnating five different serving girls in a single evening.
Children conceived through Nualia's casual or stress-induced efforts are considered illegitimate, and the Throne underhandedly pays the serving-girl mothers both their wages as they are given a gracious maternity leave, and extra for raising the child alone, in exchange for the family's silence as to who the father of their child was. In total, and discounting Nualia's only legitimate child, Caldreth, she has fathered roughly 40 children in the 90 years she has reigned as Queen. The exact number is not her concern, though the Regal accountants in charge of quietly paying the mothers know the exact number.
