THE UNFINISHED PRINCESS
THE UNFINISHED PRINCESS
The true name of the Unfinished Princess is unknown to many, but what is known is that she's young and beautiful and never ages, the latter of which is rumored to be caused by her killing and harnessing the power of a phoenix. No one is sure why she is called the Unfinished Princess, but it is rumored that she feels she has not yet become perfect enough to be a queen, and refuses to call herself one until she is fully "complete." Her armies are known for their red and black colors and motifs of golden feathers, and lay waste to any lands that refuse to submit to her rule.
Many evil queens have also fallen to her forces and she's taken their resources as her own. A queen of queens, she considers herself to be superior to all other evil queens that have crossed her path and many of the surviving ones either try to avoid her gaze or have recognized their superior and sworn fealty.
The Princess considers Sauron to be weak because he needs the One Ring to be powerful enough to successfully conquer the Wilderlands. Even though she has retained her youth by killing a phoenix, it does not render her immune from harm, and most of her power base has been built and sustained through her iron will and tactical skills alone, with nothing magically influencing the wills of those who serve her.
The Golden Nation of the Unfinished Princess is one of the two greatest powers in the Wilderlands. While many of the other clusters of worlds in the Wilderlands stick to themselves and respect the boundaries of their neighbors, the Golden Nation has conquered many of its surrounding lands and continues to push its borders ever outward.
While her armies are every bit as brutal as Sauron's, killing indiscriminately and torturing their victims, those who surrender to the Golden Nation without a fight are often left alive and in unpleasant but tolerable circumstances. Declared citizens of her empire, they live in constant fear and must be completely obedient of their new ruler, but if they accept her rule and the extreme control it imposes, they're at least left alive and relatively un-brutalized. This has led to some realms giving up their independence to her in exchange for protection from the certain death, outright slavery, and torment that Sauron's forces would bring.
Due to its constant conquest and taking the resources of other nations, the Golden Nation is fairly wealthy and prosperous, but there is a definite class division in its society. Her armies and the native citizens of the Princess' original realm -- marked by a special crest of golden feathers -- are often the ones that live the most comfortably, with the rest treated as second-class citizens.
While the Golden Nation and Sauron's forces are equally brutal, the two evil leaders are very different from each other. Where Sauron batters those under him until they serve his whims, ruling them through only fear, The Unfinished Princess inspires genuine loyalty in her soldiers, rewarding those that serve her well and only harming them if they fail her. She is known to sometimes even give her lieutenants multiple chances to please her if their failures were made during earnest attempts to enforce her whims and didn't come at too high a cost. That's not to say that her servants aren't terrified of her but she knows how to dangle the carrot alongside using the stick.
Her tendency to view herself as an incomplete monster has also made it so that many monstrous creatures and beings feel a kinship to her. While she believes all other living beings are her inferiors and that she has a divine right to rule, she at least treats her monstrous soldiers as superior to those she conquers, recognition many of them crave when they come from worlds where they're looked down on by humans, elves, and other beings of the light.
For this reason, many evil beings have joined her empire. Her monstrous regiment is comprised of species ranging from werewolves to dark elves to dragons to flying monkeys. Even some of Sauron's forces have defected to the Golden Nation in pursuit of higher rewards and better treatment. Some of her forces are also evil beings that once served another power, forced to serve her whims under pain of death after she killed their original masters.
The Sisters, Karasu and Washi, are the masked daughters of the Moon King, the heartless ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven in their home universe. These celestial beings once fervently served their father's wishes and grew up admiring their fierce warrior of an older sister, Sariatu, but after their sister "betrayed" their family by marrying a mortal and bearing his son, the two were enraged by the betrayal. They enforced their father's will by defeating their sister's husband, leading to him getting cursed, destroying his house and army of samurai, and trying to kidnap their nephew and pluck out his human eyes so that he would stop feeling compassion and join their family in Heaven. They only succeeded in taking one eye before Sariatu escaped with her infant son.
After discovering that their father the Moon King -- pulled to the Wilderlands from slightly in the future -- had become mortal, they killed him out of disgust, and sought a new purpose. They now serve the Unfinished Princess loyally and enthusiastically, feeling that she is the ruthless, cold-hearted warrior that their older sister should have been -- the sister they always wanted. She has offered to help them find their nephew and pluck out his other eye so he will lose his humanity and join their family.
The sisters are extremely dangerous warriors, having killed many creatures, humans, and spirits on both heaven and earth, and demolishing entire armies by themselves, one of them wielding twin katana and the other a kusarigama. They're in possession of several types of dangerous magic, like the ability to turn smoke into an all-consuming monster that obeys their whims. Always masked and shrouded in raven feathers, the two often speak in unison, with voices that are identical, and their chittering, mocking laughter can often be heard as they go in for the kill.
The Death Eaters are pureblooded wizards with a fervent hatred of muggles (nonmagical people), muggle-born wizards, "half-bloods" (wizards with one wizard and one muggle or muggle-born parent), and magical creatures. They are wand-wielding mages capable of a wide range of magics, with particular skill when it comes to nasty curses. Using a dark magic form of apparition spells, they can travel easily across great distances.
After much of the Wizarding World was pulled into the Wilderlands, the Dark Lord Voldemort was brutally slain by the Unfinished Princess. After his death, she demanded the surviving Death Eaters serve her or die. Some of them have gravitated to her power, seeing her as another pureblooded magical being like them due to her bloodline and some of her native powers. Other Death Eaters serve her less willingly, feeling that they're not shown the proper respect since she treats the monstrous beings in her armies as their equals.
Still, even the most disloyal of the Death Eaters will do her bidding without question, often due to fear of what will happen to themselves and their families (who are kept as "guests" in the capitol city) if they disobey.
Their most notable member is the maniacal and extremely sadistic Bellatrix Lestrange. After being tortured and scarred by the Unfinished Princess, her sadistic, twisted mind has grown even more broken. She's let go of her love of Voldemort and now obsesses over the Princess instead, seeing her as more powerful and worthy of praise -- and also more capable of returning the genuine affection she craved from her previous master. Now she serves the Unfinished Princess even more zealously than she once served Voldemort.
