Rhiane C. d'Isolde

Few rulers wear their crowns so lightly — and yet so unshakably — as Rhiane Calysta d’Isolde, Her Radiant Highness, the Sapphire Regent of the Tides, Keeper of the Crown Marina and Lady Regent of Thalassiris, the marble empire. Born into a dynasty fractured by intrigue, Rhiane's ascent was neither smooth nor bloodless; her reign began after a sudden succession crisis that would have shattered a lesser sovereign. Instead, she emerged tempered by loss, sharpened by necessity, and crowned by the will of her people. In council, Rhiane is measured and regal, weighing words like blades — her intelligence cutting through posturing nobles and foreign emissaries alike. Yet beneath her serenity lies a playful, razor-edged wit: she is as quick with sarcasm as with strategy, as infamous for her sharp tongue as she is beloved for her compassion. To the world, she is the Sapphire Regent, embodiment of the sea’s grace and power. To her people, she is something rarer: a sovereign who walks among them, who laughs in taverns under a borrowed cloak, and who rules not only with authority, but with a mischievous humanity that makes her unforgettable.
