Jannali Blackburn (Jannali meaning "moon" in Aboriginal) was a queen consort of Luna. She married Marrok Blackburn, the king of Luna, and had two children with him, Channary & Levana. Jannali's throat was slit by a shell who infiltrated the palace who then proceeded to stab Marrok in the chest.
History[]
Early life[]
Jannali was presumably born into the high society of Artemisia.
Queen of Luna[]
When she was quite young, Jannali became queen of Luna and married a man named Marrok with who she had two daughters with; Channary and Levana. Jannali was a vain woman who used her gift to maintain an illusion of unique beauty in front of her court which was well known among her subjects, although no one ever spoke it aloud, likely so not to disrespect their queen. Jannali had a seamstress who made her dresses that her eldest daughter, Channary, would like to borrow. Jannali also owned an elaborate mirror which was kept in her chambers. One day, when Jannali was preparing for a gala, Levana was in the room on the rare occasion Jannali wasn't annoyed by her presence and managed to see her mother's true face in the mirror, remarking that she resembled Channary, with the same tan skin and chestnut brown hair.
Assassination[]
One night in 108 T.E a shell infiltrated the palace, shot two guards, killed three more upon his way to the king and queen's bedroom and slit Jannali's throat so deeply the knife severed part of her spine. After her death, Channary claimed her mother's chambers, seamstress, and mirror for herself.
Legacy[]
Jannali's death had little impact on the kingdom, likely due to her vain nature she spent more time on her appearance than governing her kingdom. Levana mentions to herself at the funeral that compliments about her parents rule from her subjects were nothing but lies.
Characteristics[]
Physical Attributes[]
Jannali constantly wore a glamour that gave her striking violet eyes, a fair complexion and sleek platinum-blonde hair. Beneath, Jannali was much more beautiful but less regal in appearance, with naturally tan skin and shiny chestnut brown hair, traits inherited by her eldest daughter, Channary, and her granddaughter, Selene.
Personality[]
Jannali was selfish, self centered, and vain. She loved getting dressed up and did not care for others besides herself, which were common traits of lunars. Levana mentions memories of watching her mother, Jannali, primp herself in front of a mirror "on those rare occasions when she wasn't annoyed with the presence of her own offspring." She often did not bother to make time for her children and it was said by Levana that she would not have cared if she was murdered. Despite always wearing a glamour, Jannali didn't mind seeing her true appearance while getting ready in front of the mirror.
Skills[]
Jannali possessed the lunar gift. As queen of Luna, she was presumably one of the most skilled with her glamour. She could even keep the illusion up while looking at her true appearance without losing her hold on it.
Relationships[]
Marrok Blackburn[]
Jannali was likely aware of her husband's unfaithfulness to her and that he had multiple mistresses. Since she was a selfish woman she likely didn't care much for him.
Channary Blackburn[]
Jannali didn't have much love for her eldest daughter and was rather neglectful. This caused Channary to grow up cruel and uncaring as when her mother died Channary didn't care. Despite this Channary did use her mother's name as part of her daughter's middle name.
Levana Blackburn[]
Jannali was no different to Levana than she was with Channary and was often annoyed by the presence of her daughter with the exception on rare occasions. Levana believed that Jannali wouldn't have cared if Levana had been killed instead of her. The feeling was mutual as Levana felt nothing for her mother after her death.
