Edea

Edea (エデ), better known as Queen Edea or the Queen of Cards, is the protagonist of the Alice of Wonderland series spin-off, Queen of Cards, which tells the story of Wonderland before it fell into war and split into four kingdoms.

Edea was the mother of Edith Ledell and the grandmother of Alice and Anna Ledell. She was the Queen of Cards and Guardian of the Clock Tower several decades prior to the War of Veon. She was murdered by the Shadow God to end the war. Edea was married to a Walker named Mako Shitsune prior to her demise.

She appears multiple times in Alice of Wonderland as a spirit and guide, and is mentioned briefly in Beyond Wonderland.

Appearance
Edea was known to be the most beautiful woman in Wonderland during her time alive, as her status as spirit and shaman allowed her to appear as beautiful and pure as her soul was. She had pale, alabaster skin and red lips with sloping purple eyes. Her eyes were said to have a penetrating gaze that cut right through everyone's souls- they were also said to be eyes that held a great deal of sorrow and mourning.

The Queen had long, midnight-black hair that fell to her knees, wth bangs that parted to either side on her forehead. She often wore her hair styled in a ponytail with two thick strands loose, framing her face. She wore a traditional white priestess-style dress with long sleeves, golden trinning, and black hakama pants beneath a gold, red, and black chest harness. She was always seen wearing a golden hair ornament with pink lotus flowers and red ribbon. She was known to carry her aquamarine amulet and silver rapier with her everywhere, as well.

Personality
Edea had a mysterious personality that remained hidden throughout the majority of the series and were only revealed after Yui found her journal.

As a shaman, Edea was a very spiritual, reserved person with a great deal of love for all things living, whether they be good or bad. Her compassion was remarkable.



She was passionate in her belief that everyone held equal amounts of good and bad within their hearts and that everyone needed love and atonement. She had an uncanny, unexplainable connection to the other worlds and held an immense amount of spiritual energy within her that allowed her to connect with unseen gods and spirits. This made her a very sage, wise and serene person with a soft demeanor. A pacifist, Edea devoted her life to her job as Guardian and Shaman.

Despite this, Edea also held quite a bit of grief, sorrow and darkness inside of her. She felt that her existance was made out of darkness, because it was in her power to destroy the earth, and she had to watch endless people die around her inevitably. Likewise, she was often saddened by her inability to lead a normal life. She often wished to simply lead a normal, happy life as a mother or wife, and even admitted to Mako that if she had a choice she'd be a human. Edea sometimes cursed her own fate (she only ever vocalized these complaints to the Shadow God, her diary, and Mako, however). Because others regarded her as a spirit and etheral, she had little company and was lonely and isolated most of the time. The majority of the time however she accepted her role gracefully and devoted herself to others.

Powers
Queen Edea is often regarded as the most powerful force in the history of Wonderland, meant to set off a chain of events that would end in either the apocalypse of all the dimensions, or their salvation. Her power is matched closely by the Shadow God, although he himself admitted that, in a serious fight, she would demolish him. Edea often felt as if her existance was a sin, for one should not wield so much power when they were not a God. Edea's power was said to rival and even surpass a God's power.

Many of Edea's powers remain locked, as she did not allow herself to use them because of their destructive potency.
 * Spiritual Powers: As Guardian of the Clock Tower, Edea had a great deal of spiritual power, enough to create and destroy things in the universe- her spiritual powers were to the level of being God-like.
 * Resurgence: Edea has demonstrated the ability to bring living things back from the Death Realm.
 * Concilium: Edea has the ability to project her thoughts unto others, and using that, can (but refuses to due to her moral views) control people's minds.
 * Descensum: Edea has the ability to teleport to various dimensions and planes of existance- meaning she can manifest herself in dreams, thoughts, the future, past, etc.
 * Soul Reading: Like mind reading, she can tell people's true intensions and the color of their auras by using her spiritual powers.
 * Cleansing/Healing: In addition to healing any physical wound or illness, the Queen can cleanse anything of dark, negative energy or demonic powers/presence.
 * Heaven: This power is one that allows her to assume the same powers and abilities of a God by speaking with and connecting with that God. This power is considered divine and allows a God or Goddess to use Edea's body to manifest itself and it's power. It's an all-consuming power that had control the universe completely but will destroy Edea's soul and body upon use. To a smaller degree this power may be used to connect and speak with Gods through prayer.
 * Sword of Edea: Edea created her own sword out of spiritual power and silver, amongst other metals. It is a rare sword that is acticated when the Lunar Rapier and Solar Blade are combined. This Sword has many different powers, and dual powers of the Lunar Rapier and Solar Blade. It's a long golden sword with a silver hilt and intricate heart, spade, diamond, and club symbols burnt into the blade in ruby, diamond, jade, and sapphire. It is the ruler of all the Imperial Weapons. The sword has multiple abilites such as:
 * Cutting through steel, stone, wood, and flesh.
 * Creating fire to burn through objects.
 * Cloning into two daggers when shattered,
 * Burning those who attempt to use it (beside it's master)
 * Cutting through magical attacks
 * Opening portals
 * Creating ice to freeze or cut objects
 * Manipulating Air
 * Poisoning those it cuts
 * Healing
 * Cleansing or Corrupting
 * Endless Clock - The Endless clock has special abilities that allow the use to travel back in time (but for the amount of time they travel back or forward in time, they lose those one minute of their life to the clock), or forward into the future. The clock also allows one to travel between worlds, but one can only travel between a world they already visited or lived in, even if they only dreamed about the other world.
