Character from Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Cal's grandmother and most steadfast political ally — an oblivion wielder who never stopped believing the Calore line deserved the throne, even when Cal himself gave it up.
Anabel is Cal's maternal grandmother — Coriane's mother-in-law — and his most dedicated political advocate. She believed in Cal's innocence when everyone else had questions. She served as his advisor through the civil war. She wanted the Calore dynasty restored. Cal's abdication was her greatest defeat. She spent the entire series fighting for a throne Cal ultimately chose to destroy. Whether her devotion was love or ambition — whether she wanted Cal to be king for his sake or her family's — is left ambiguous. She loved him. She also needed him.
An elderly Silver woman with the bearing of someone who has survived decades of court politics through a combination of intelligence and sheer stubbornness. She carries the authority of House Lerolan's legacy.
