You didn't answer this last time but have you thought about what Qara's adoptive family is like? Also isn't Maris only the queen of North Haze? Sorry to be overbearing
There was a Discord discussion a while back where we kinda collectively decided that Qara's parents were the Looming Gaia equivalent of Oprah and Dr. Phil. They are both insanely wealthy and influential celebrities, unfortunately they are also corrupt, terrible people and often peddle nonsense to get a quick buck.
Since Qara's parents are two different species, they could not have children naturally, so they decided to adopt. Qara was just one of many children this couple adopted, but they treated these kids like circus animals by forcing them into the world of showbiz. Some of their careers faded out and others became successful celebrities, but none can argue that Qara became the most famous of all.
And yes, Maris is the current queen of North Haze. She was the princess until Hestal married her, and that's when her father decided to retire and pass his crown to her. She is officially the queen of Folkvar's worst city...a perfect fit for terrible rulers like her and Hestal.
