please give us the analysis of āfairy queen as major traitorā š„ŗ
So then! Warning for some spoilers from Wrath of the Dragon King and Master of the Phantom Isle.
Kendra meets Risenmay, a true fairy. Sheās a human sized fairy naturally and reveals to Kendra that all Fairy Queenās other than the current were True Fairies, which makes sense seeing how itās the Fairy Queen. Risenmay also refers to the Fairy Queen (current) as a swan in comparison to humans. The True Fairies do not like the Fairy Queen.
The Fairies reaction to it, and the way that they all seem to be in hiding leads me to believe that the current Fairy Queen did not take the crown peacefully.
The crown itself is what denotes the Queen, when Kendra wore it she was the queen. Itās interesting that the Queen informed Kendra that she wouldnāt know what to do with it, when the Queen herself seems to struggle to use itās connection to her power.
Sheās weaker than Kendra in a way, limited in the power she draws. Sheās unable to do things to help Kendra (re: Fablehaven books the originals) because sheād expended too much power. All of this is strange since she and Kendra have the same power source, but Kendra seems to have a never ending well of power.
I think that being fairykind gives Kendra that direct connection, and she doesnāt know how to use it. The Fairy Queen has the connection through the crown, but struggles to pull it through her as sheās not the proper kind of queen, sheās the conqueror, she does know how to use the power though.
Seeing this as the Fairy Queen is the conqueror, she betrayed the previous Queen for the crown. She took over by force, and itās why she struggles with the powers. This could also be an element of why Ronodin betrayed her. She was a traitor first, and perhaps he didnāt approve of it.
On this note, Kendraās connection to their power being stronger is interesting, and it almost seems as if the Queen takes advantage of it, having Kendra do things for her. Itās possible that she gave Kendra this connection because she viewed Kendra as someone she could get to do things for her.
Anyways, the Fairy Queen isnāt the traitor to the group as is, but I do see her as a traitor to her Queen, and I donāt believe that she really deserves that crown.
