Jul. 6th, 2009 02:07 pmJaenelle Angelline is one of the major protagonists of Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy. She is the prophesized saviour of her people--Witch, the Living Myth, Dreams Made Flesh, is the strongest of all the Blood that ever was or ever will be. She was created by the hopes and dreams of millions of people (human and animal alike) who prayed for a saviour, for a strong Queen who would unite the Blood and remove the taint threatening their very survival. As such, Jaenelle is not human. Period.
She is blonde and blue-eyed herself, with a pointed, awkward little face that she needs to grow into a bit to be considered pretty. She's precocious, clever, compassionate and energetic. She is not afraid of the strange and unusual. Nothing really scares her, since she's wielded more power than any of the other Blood can ever dream of since she was in the cradle, and hangs out with demons and shit all the time. She has secrets, and there are times that she seems ancient, especially when looking in her eyes--she bears a great sadness with her, a haunted quality. And certain things will trigger her to spiral down into a deep, dark, savage rage--but as she's not likely to encounter those kinds of things in the Nexus, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Shouldn't.
Jaenelle is sweet and loving and she hates killing, but she is not a pacifist. She will avoid conflict if she can, but her world is savage, and she may hate it, but she won't hesitate to kill people who need to be killed. She was abused as a child and was led to believe that she was mentally ill; as a result, she doesn't trust her own judgement and second-guesses herself too much. She depends on others for emotional strength.
