| + | ==About Ramandu's Daughter== | ||
| + | Ramandu's Daughter is wise and beautiful. She is a figure of some mystery, for her name is never given and nothing is known of her life before the coming of the Narnians. Is she a star herself, or merely the daughter of a star? Who was her mother? Lewis does not answer these questions, and this sense of mystery adds to the fascination of her character. It is interesting that she should tell the story of what happened to the three sleeping lords, while so much of her own story is unknown. Ramandu's Daughter was much-loved in Narnia when she lived as Queen there, and her death was a great blow to her husband and son. | ||

Reepicheep is the first to honor her with a toast after she tells the company the story of the three sleeping Narnian lords. She then introduces them to her father, who in turn explains the quest they must fulfill to awake the sleeping lords. When Caspian bids her farewell, he mentions that he hopes to see her again. They eventually marry after Caspian returns from the World’s End. | + | [[File:3778.jpg|left]]On the island at the beginning of the World's End, Ramandu’s Daughter greets the Narnians as they stand trying to understand the mysteries of Aslan’s Table and determine whether or not the food is safe to eat.

After lying down to rest, the Queen was bitten by a serpent on her hand. The snake's poison overcame her almost immediately, and she died in Rilian's arms.
