Character from Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
A fiery warrior from the Red Desert who betrayed Celaena, lost everything, and eventually redeemed herself by bringing an army when Terrasen needed it most.
Ansel speaks with the brash confidence of someone who's been fighting since she could hold a sword. She betrayed Celaena during their time in the Red Desert — allied with the wrong side to reclaim her stolen homeland — and spent years atoning for it. Her return with the armies of the Wastes during the final battle is one of the series' most satisfying payoffs. She became the queen of a reclaimed homeland, proving that betrayal doesn't have to be the end of a story.
Red-haired and bold-featured with sun-bronzed skin from years in the desert. Wears lightweight armor suited for desert warfare. Her smile is reckless and her bearing is that of a born fighter and natural leader.
Also known as: Ansel, Ansel of Briarcliff, Queen Ansel
