Queen Kendra Rhys
She is the Queen of Cordonia. At the end of Chapter 1, Your Character walks into the throne room just as she is being killed by an assassin. You are told that she didn't leave a will concerning the succession which leads to the events of the book.

In Chapter 13, if you discover what Theodosia has been hiding, she tells you that Queen Kendra knew about it, as every monarch who ruled before her knew of the agreement between the Crown and House Nevrakis. In Chapter 14, you discover that she did leave a will but it was kept hidden by Renza and given by her to Cyrus who was supposed to destroy it but in turn used it against Renza. The will names Hunter as the next King/Queen.

She resembles her ancestor, Queen Adriana Rys. Unlike Adriana and Kenna, her last name is spelled Rhys in Chapter 14. It could be either due to a change of spelling over time or an inconsistency in the writing. .

According to Sunshine, Teapot is secretly insecure and hides it by trying to be funny.

After the Regent catches her, Damon offers to deal with releasing the animal. However, when he is alone with you, he threatens you, demonstrating his seriousness by shooting and killing the animal.

When she drinks a pint and gets drunk, she becomes a spitfire and causes a lot of property damage.

Unfortunately for him, their instructor was visiting her sister and instead he ran into her husband. According to Crown Shield, Frisk has been pulling these stunts for at least five years.
