Droners sideblog that I don't know if I'll use

Oh yeah maybe!! Considering him and Krass Krane got arrested for being involved in a pretty severe crime she could maybe consider him a valuable asset or something? And thus she'd decide it's worth bailing him out?

Still not too happy with the way she looks but at least it's something. The Empress...or my vision of her...

She's younger than Wyatt, Scarlett and Lavinia, around Gavinda's age, and to be honest I think she's even a bit younger than her as well. This is a bit ironic considering the way she carries herself, seeing all of them - as she does almost everyone she encounters - as below her in one way or another. She doesn't usually rub it in people's face, it's just... felt every time you interact with her.

She tends to act really cheerful and relaxed, lulling some people into considering her unserious, hedonistic, almost a comic relief sometimes, and generally not a threatening ruler. This isn't really true, though, as she is a great strategist and diplomat, which really shows when the situation gets serious. It's not that she's two-faced or anything as a lot of her cheerfulness and enthusiasm is genuine, she just knows how and when to handle herself.

Speaking of enthusiasm - she was never a pilot or a part of a team. Instead, she's always been a fan of watching the races, and it's her favorite form of entertainment to this day. The word entertainment is crucial here - she doesn't underestimate how the races can tie into important matters, no, but the main reason she LIKES them is for fun, sometimes at the expense of the teams, and this is the main way in which she'd tie into the point of the show. I imagine she'd think of really challenging tracks just to see how the pilots handle them, similar to Wyatt and Scarlett, though I think the main difference is that eg. in the Magnetis race she wouldn't shut the challenge of jumping over it down. Maybe she'd even encourage it, if it wasn't a bad look for someone in her position to do that.

Also, the original idea they had for Sun of a blind character being tied to egyptian motifs with the Eye of Horus and such, having that band on his head probably being what allows him to see, was really fun. Though I am really glad they didn't go with that design.
