Fairest

           Queen Levana is the villain of the Lunar Chronicles. But even antagonists should have a chance to share their own stories.
          Levana was born into the Lunar royal family with two parents and an older sister who thought torturing her- or rather, forcing her to torture herself- was fun. When her parents died, she thought that she might finally get a bit of freedom. But her sister Channary was just as terrible a ruler as their parents were. She then met Evret Hayle, and fell in love with him at first sight. But he was already married, and Levana knew she could never compete with his wife and win. This is the story of an antagonistic villain, and is as sad as so. I also give it a far more mature rating.



" Mirror, mirror, on the wall.
Who is the Fairest of them all?

Come close and I shall tell you a tale-
My Queen's dark secrets I've longed to unveil.

Her greed may have led her to steal and kill,
While her wickedness drove her to break a man's will.

But the greatest tragedy I've yet to expose
Is that she did it all for love...
                                                           so our story goes.

Should my portrayal of the Queen you ever wish to deny,
Know that I'm naught but a mirror. I cannot lie."
