53* BlowYouAway[=/=]CastingAShadow: She's called "The Queen of Air and Darkness" for a reason.
54* CardCarryingVillain: Andais seems to relish her role as Evil Queen, and furthermore believes it's representative of what the Unseelie Court is and should be.
55* EvenEvilHasStandards: Andais has repeatedly shown herself willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the good of the Sidhe. She loves her son beyond reason, but she almost lost her shit when she found out Cel commandeered her dead brother's guard as his harem. When she realizes she is infertile, she decides to abdicate in favor of whichever of her heirs can create a child first, knowing that she has no right to hang on to the throne in a FisherKing situation.
56* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Yeah, she's still a sadistic tyrant, though.
