King Jade Adelaide is the ruler of the Eastern Basitin Kingdom. She holds the highest position within the Eastern Basitin Military structure, having won the position in Trial By Combat ("King" is the title granted to the highest ranking Basitin regardless of gender). Her size is incredibly unusual amongst the Basitin people, she is over two feet taller than the average Basitin male, standing at 7'2" (2.20m). Due to Adelaide's enormous size compared to other humanoids, especially Basaitin who are naturally smaller than the more common Keidran and Humans, she has increased natural strength. She has trained for a large portion of her life and fought in many battles and sparing matches to prove her fighting abilities. Her power has proved so great that once she was able to practically uproot a stone tower and topple it over, although this act almost destroyed her body physically. Eastern Basitin have a physiological need to be ordered around, it is said to be in their genes and is the the reason for their militaristic culture. Since Adelaide is the highest ranked Basitin she doesn't have anyone to receive orders from, her ability to cope without a higher authority is a testament to her strength and position as King. As King she also appears to support a more liberal agenda, recognizing her people's need to adapt and open up to the larger world. In terms of her attitude to Basitin tradition although she is shown to be serious she has also been known to show her authority through dry, and sometimes cunning, wit. Overall she seems to rely on a softer approach to get results but isn't afraid to confront one of her people if they refuse to follow orders. She also doesn't seem to mind not upholding Basitin laws of dress, showing up to Keith's trial in only a few pieces of clothing and bandages, though she may just do this since there is no one powerful enough on the island to tell her otherwise.
