I love thsi cron. I love the court intrigue, I love that Jamyl is quite sane behind the veil of 'loco' brough upon her by the ever-present mind-rape.
Seriously, she had a goal and a dream in mind when she was young, and through her life things have gone down-hill. Now she has achieved that dream, but there is a stowaway hiding in her own mind, taunting her. Perhaps the only way to get it out is to put a golden gun under her jaw and squeeze the trigger for a bit, or perhaps she will drive it out. Either way, the Empress of the biggest faction in this game is one
bad-ass woman - she knows what she wants and needs and actually, GENUINELY give a damn about the Empire. Perhaps she is not faithful, as per her own claims, but she's TRYING - in spite of the conditions she's been brought to, to do what she considers best for her nation and people. The voice in her head can go fuck itself, she's in control and she will do what is right, darn it!
I would follow a leader like that. Troubled and messed-up right now yeah, but her heart is in the right place and her mind logically realize the danger - mental and physical - she's in, and tries to deal with it.
Jamyl Sarum is a strong, though troubled female character. Thank you CCP Eterne, thank you so much.
