Alex Ware for Queen Levana
Levana’s original intention was to rule Luna, her kingdom, better than her sister did. However, she slowly became corrupted by power and vanity as the years passed. She rules her citizens with an iron fist, ordering executions and horrific punishments for the slightest transgression. Using her Glamour, an ability that allows her to control people’s thoughts and actions, she manipulates everybody around her into doing her bidding. Despite acting sweet and demure in public, when in private, she can go from saccharine to enraged at the drop of a hat.

Context for Line 1- A video revealing a horrific secret Levana has been hiding for decades is released by Cinder. Levana, defeated, speaks to Cinder in her throne room: "It was perfect. Emperor Kaito would have announced our engagement at the ball, but, no—you had to be there. Back from the dead to haunt me. And you come here, and you ask my people to hate me, and you show that... that horrid video and fill their head with your lies."
Context for Line 2- Levana has just learned that Cinder has escaped prison after Kai had promised she'd stay in his custody: "One more patronizing comment and I will have you slice off and nail your tongue to the palace gate. You let her escape! My prisoner! (Beat.) Aimery, silence him."
Context for Line 3- Levana has just arrived in the Eastern Commonwealth and is greeting Prince Kai. (Pronunciation Note: Rikan is pronounced Ree-Kin): "Your Highness, it is my greatest honor to be thus welcomed. Might I again offer my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father, the great Emperor Rikan. However, I look forward to the Eastern Commonwealth’s famed hospitality."
