Jadis - Queen of Charn
This is Jadis, Queen of Charn, from the Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S. Lewis. For those of you who have not read the books, she appears first as the villain in the Magicians Nephew, where she is wakened by Digory Kirke and together they flee the dying city of Charn. She follows Digory and Polly to London with intent of conquering the city and they must find a way to send her back to her own world. But Charn is no more, and they are all carried away together to the newly-made world of Narnia, where Jadis gets hold of the apple of life and, gains everlasting life, and flees to the north, establishing a stronghold. In the second book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe she musters an army to attempting to overthrow Aslan, the son of the Emperor across the Sea and become Queen of Narnian once and for all. Victory looks very close. She has killed her great enemy and has nearly prevented the prophecy of her doom from coming to pass - and then, quite unexpectedly, she suddenly finds she has attempted more than she can handle.
