Biography
Edit
Early Life and Escape from SarainEdit
Thayet is the only child of the Saren warlord Adigun jin Wilima and the K'mir princess Kalasin. Her relationship with her father was strained, particularly due to the fact that he openly wished for a son. She and Buri, her personal guard and familial servant, were forced to flee the Saren civil war in 439 HE[2] and came to Tortall with Alanna and allies.
Monarch of TortallEdit
After being presented at court, Thayet and King Jonathan began courting. They married in 439 HE[2], and Thayet became queen and co-ruler of Tortall.
Physical descriptionEdit
Thayet is often described as one of the most beautiful women in existence. In 439 HE she is described as having creamy ivory skin, jet black hair and hazel eyes[3]. Her face, and particularly her nose, is described as strong-boned, with even brows and a naturally red mouth.
Personality and traitsEdit
Thayet is a very strong and independent woman and it is observed that her relationship with her king, Jonathan is indeed one of love. Though she is a woman she holds a very high place of power. Jonathan values her opinions and ideas, only talking Kalasin out of becoming a Knight while Thayet is away. She is also very patriotic and is willing to fight for her people and country. At one point she left a court function to respond to a call of the Queen's Riders, wearing a very expensive silk pink dress. Despite this, she is a practical and just person, beliving in equality amongst all.
