The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask	comment	This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. The Leader—whether of a nation, an organization, or just a team—is supposed to represent the group they lead. The public image, reputation, etc. of the whole group stands or falls with its head, so naturally its members want to be represented by someone who is strong and capable. Unfortunately, not everyone thrust in the position of power possesses the qualities their subjects expect in their leader. Maybe they're too short, too young, too timid, too sentimental, too "nice", or just don't have the right look; whatever their shortcomings, the people don't want this person to be in charge. So in order to dispel further objections to their right to rule, the leader is forced to adopt a "tougher" (i.e. harsh, cold, and unfeeling) façade to better fit the image of an ideal authority figure. While both men and women are vulnerable to this, female leaders are subject to a more pronounced variation. Because the "ideal" qualities of a good leader—i.e. physical prowess, ambition, and ruthlessness—are considered "masculine" traits, women often face fierce opposition from their subjects, who dismiss them as a poor choice for a leader solely because of their gender. Thus, in order to be taken seriously as a leader, the female ruler is forced to repress her "feminine" parts of herself (e.g. emotions, compassion, etc.), and even be more stoic, tough and "manly" than the men around her just to overcome the incorrect perception that femininity is by nature passive/submissive and therefore unsuitable for any position of authority. This often goes hand-in-hand with The Chains of Commanding, in which the leader feels burdened by the responsibilities that their position brings. See also Beleaguered Boss, when the leader faces difficulties because of their subordinates' incompetence, rather than having to mask their own.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: Princess Bubblegum has been doing this for more than 800 years and counting, but it's more a part of her personality than a mask. Season 5.2 made it especially clear that she's having a breakdown caused by all the stress she's under throughout the series. She fears dying because it would leave the Candy populace unattended and she has few confidants, namely Lady Rainicorn and The Protagonist Finn. The latter is complicated given how he had feelings for her for the longest time and how her own tendencies mean she can be suspect in how much she cares about him (though it does become clear she genuinely treasures their bond and cares for him as a friend.) She is somewhat unrespected (though that's namely because of her surveillance and her subjects come to appreciate her more when they realize living under the so-called King of Ooo is pretty bad). It's telling that when she was temporarily restored to her 13-year-old self, she did not want to take back the reigns of her 18-year-old self. She preferred to indulge in youthful merriment, especially spending a lot of close time with Finn. She was also more jovial and light-hearted. She only re-aged herself back up since her successor Lemongrab was running the Candy Kingdom to the ground and even then, she was reluctant to.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_12de2225	comment	The Remarried Empress: Navier Trovi is a prime example. As an empress with influence on the emperor, she has many duties. She investigates rumours, does a lot of budget paperwork, hosts diplomats, deals with trade affairs, and sponsors promising students as charity work. And she does all of this work while hiding her discontent over her possessive husband's infidelity and a host of humiliating incidents just to fulfill her duty. Her now ex-husband, Sovieshu, seems to believe her a heartless person, but it is made apparent that while being a Consummate Professional, she does have feelings and can be hurt, which her current husband, Heinly, observes at many points.

She has to be The High Queen and a Lady of War when the need calls for it, but it helps that she has the entire Heraldic Circle to trust. Part of the problem, though, is that these are the same Heralds she must often send into deadly danger. Naturally, the one time she fails to ask her Heralds for advice (and they fail to speak their minds), she makes a disastrous marriage that nearly gets her killed.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_1c25dba1	comment	Queen Arshtat from Suikoden V combines this with Blessed with Suck. Taking the throne after her mother (a real Evil Queen) dies, she is forced to bear the country's all-powerful Sun Rune herself to stop it from being stolen. Unfortunately for her, along with the power, it also confers mental instability and delusions of grandeur that have isolated her from both her family and people, not to mention the hard decisions she has had to make to keep her country from full-scale civil war. The game actually plays with this early on, trailers and her actions at the beginning of the game portraying her as a merciless Tyrant, totally at odds with her real character. note Arshtat was not always this trope; she became queen during a time when the country was on the verge of civil war. However, a bordering nation invaded the country and Arshtat and her Husband Ferid (they're Happily Married by the way) managed to unite the Queendom and drive out the invaders. Since then, she had the love of the people; was renowned as a kind, fair, and strong ruler(too strong for the various political groups to control); was on good terms with her sister and cousin (both of whom had voluntarily abdicated their rights to the throne); still Happily Married to her husband; and was a loving mother to her two children. Those years were probably the happiest of her life. However, things started to go downhill about two years before the start of the game, when events forced her to bear the Sun Rune. That's when she became this trope. Her sheer force of personality, along with her husband's, had been keeping the country stable for that entire time. But with the run pushing her closer to the edge, both of them know that it's only a matter of time before she goes completely insane, and/or the political groups make a grab for power (restarting the civil war).

In Celestia's case, untold centuries fighting to keep her ponies alive wore away at her until she Jumped Off The Slippery Slope and became Corona, the Tyrant Sun, seeking to rule every last detail of her ponies' lives in order to ensure their safety. Luna, on the other hand, has been consumed by fear of following her sister into madness, and that fear has crippled her and made her reluctant to use her authority to reign in the excesses of her Night Court.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Elincia is the lost princess during Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and rules as queen of Crimea in the sequel Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Her desire to avert this trope by ruling with kindness and compassion leads to internal unrest and rebellion in Crimea, which forces her to reevaluate her rule and be willing to use more force if necessary. Princess Nyna from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem is almost terrifying in her willingness to throw away her personal happiness for the greater good. This especially comes into play after she marries the future Emperor Hardin not for love but because she thought it was the best for their kingdoms, sacrificing her love for Camus in the process. Things go downhill soon afterward. Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem also gives us Princess Sheena of Gra (she's luckier than Nyna, thankfully). She commands an aura of protectiveness and leadership and the most femininity she can afford is her pink armor. Though she loves cute things, she keeps secret a plushie which was a memento from her late mother, as she believes that if anyone sees her with it, she'd be ridiculed and deemed unfit to lead. Queen Ismaire from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a beloved ruler, but her total dedication to her nation after the death of her husband led to her becoming estranged from her son Joshua, who eventually abandoned her to pursue his own adventures. Queen/Exalt Emmeryn from Fire Emblem: Awakening is more of The High Queen, but she can fit in here as well. After all, she became Exalt before hitting her teens and after a horrible war that tore the continent of Ylisse apart, and pretty much dedicates her life to reform the Halidom of Ylisse into a more peaceful nature, barely thinking of her own needs... Edelgard von Hresvelg from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the heir to the throne of the Adrestian Empire, and as such maintains an unflappably formal and ruthlessly determined persona towards all but her closest companions, despite still being a 17-year-old girl with all the attendant quirks, anxieties, and insecurities. If Byleth is not there by her side after she ascends the throne, she retreats even further into her queenly mask after the Time Skip, becoming a "harsh leader with a heart of ice".

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_219914e9	comment	In Megan Whalen Turner's The Queen's Thief, the Queen of Attolia inspires awe and fear in her people, and she certainly isn't nice but her job isn't easy either. Specifically, she was forced to marry a much older man who completely disregarded her, most tellingly eating her food and drinking from her glass without asking permission. So she poisoned her own wine. It doesn't get any easier when our good friend Eugenides wins her love and becomes King of Attolia. He's happy as a clam to be married to the woman he fell in love with so long ago, but he isn't so hot on the job that comes with it. Now, not only does the poor woman have to rule the country, she has to keep reminding her husband that now it's his country too, and he needs to take an interest in ruling it.

They happened to be wrong. Very, very, very wrong. She had it tough for some time, though, until she won a broad popular support, and not just that of her close allies. President Eloise Pritchart of the restored Republic of Haven, as well — she's not, strictly speaking, a queen, but she is a President with the same responsibilities. And all the more so because she, Thomas Theisman, her lover Javier Giscard, and a few other people had restored a true republic that hadn't existed for two centuries, and so she absolutely must be this in order to ensure it survives. Honor herself is not exactly royalty, but her capacity as a commander suffers from this on-and-off starting with the middle of the second book and coming in full force after the fourth.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Hiashi Hyuga is another male example. He's the head of the Hyuga clan's main family (of Konoha's upper class) and, when we first meet him, he appears to be a very strict, stern-looking man and a Well Done Daughter Guy for his daughter Hinata. However, it's later revealed that he's been carrying around inner grief for the Heroic Sacrifice pulled over a decade earlier by his twin brother (who was delegated into the clan's branch family because Hiashi was born first) and the rift between both sides of the clan exacerbated by said sacrifice. He's been searching for an opportunity to tell his nephew Neji the truth of the matter (Neji believed that his father was made to sacrifice himself because he was a branch family member, not because it was his own choice for the sake of his family), and he finds that chance after Neji's defeat at Naruto's hands in the Chuunin exam, complete with him bowing to Neji in apology for not owning up earlier. Subsequent appearances in both canon and filler show him to smile more easily and get along better with both Neji and Hinata and this allows him to make amends with his brother when the latter is revived with the Forbidden Resurrection technique later on.

The World Pillar was slowly being consumed by black hole at the bottom, but Eto's Senate assured her it wouldn't reach them for thousands of years. But Aula, apparently unlike her predecessors, was worried about the people who lived farther down the World Pillar and tried to save them. When the Senate balked at the idea Aula sent a message down to the people below offering them shelter. This led to a coup where Aula was thrown off the Pillar.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_53446b8	comment	Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem also gives us Princess Sheena of Gra (she's luckier than Nyna, thankfully). She commands an aura of protectiveness and leadership and the most femininity she can afford is her pink armor. Though she loves cute things, she keeps secret a plushie which was a memento from her late mother, as she believes that if anyone sees her with it, she'd be ridiculed and deemed unfit to lead.

She also has to deal with the persecution of certain of her people by others of her people. Although she wears plain clothing and little jewellery in public, she still only lets her guard down in private.

However, she does not have to worry about doubts of a woman ruler, as Belleza (the Fantasy Counterpart Culture version of Venice) would not accept anything but a female ruler. And furthermore, she takes this role to Magnificent Bitch levels.

However, her position is really shaky due to the fact that she's merely the King's widow and Alistair, your Lancer, is the half-brother of the king, and therefore has a better claim to the throne than she does. Empress Celene, who is The Ghost til Dragon Age: Inquisition, qualifies, especially since she has to deal with a Decadent Court. As if to hammer the point home, she wears a literal mask.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_6a2c6f35	comment	While not a Queen per se, D'ol Falla in the Green-Sky Trilogy has a lot of this. Chosen as an Ol-zhaan at thirteen (the usual age) her psychic gifts and personal charm were such that she was made High Priestess only two or three years later. Like all Ol-zhaan she could have "close communion" love affairs but was forbidden to pair-bond (marry) or have children. She had to keep up the serene and regal mask of the High Priestess for the Kindar people, and even her fellow Ol-zhaan. She also has to keep up a mask of ruthlessness as Grandmistress of the Geets-Kel. Yet, all those acts she had to take in her long life now began to weigh on her conscience and ended up injuring Green-sky in the long term, to say nothing of what it did to her psychic powers. Her Choosing Raamo, guided in part by a prophetic dream she'd had, was a way to try and repair some of the damage done.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_701f0ece	comment	Berserk: Being the second in command in the most successful army in Midland - and being the sole woman at the same time - Casca always had to deal with this and was quite cold because of her job. However, this became more evident when the Band of the Hawk got into some deep shit after their charismatic leader, Griffith, got arrested and imprisoned after Guts, a man who got both of their affection (one a bit more extreme, which led to his erratic behavior in the first place), left the Hawks, which left Casca in charge. Casca became so physically and emotionally drained during this time, not only because two men that she respected and loved were not by her side, but because she was in charge with keeping the Band of the Hawk together AND alive (since they became fugitives upon Griffith's arrest). She was able to keep her cool for the most part... but when Guts comes back after a year, Casca just lets it all spill out, and almost attempted suicide. The Queen of Midland to a degree, in that she's a naturally passionate woman expected to act like a queen to a distant husband, which is why she ended up having an affair with the king's brother (that the king has the hots for his own daughter due to her resemblance to his first wife doesn't help). Unfortunately, Griffith's meteoric promotion led to the king's brother getting shafted, and she took it on herself to have Griffith removed, which didn't work out well for her.

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Zelda's father warns her the nobles believe she's treading this path because she hasn't manifested the sealing powers that Hyrulean queens and princesses possess. He grows upset with the intrigue and shadow politics, telling Zelda she must prove them wrong. She eventually does... but not without the entire kingdom falling into ruin beforehand.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_7832b74c	comment	The driving antagonists of Steven Universe are led by a trio (formerly a quartet) of royalty-caste beings called the Diamonds, who led a highly invasive multi-galactic empire. As the show develops these antagonists, variations on this trope come into play: Yellow Diamond could be seen as touching on this trope — she has a song trying to convince Blue Diamond to get over Pink Diamond's death, but by the end, it's pretty clear that she's close to tears herself. (Blue Diamond may also count, but it's not clear if she's even trying to hide her depression.) We later find out that Pink Diamond zigzagged this. While the Diamond Authority was a rule of four equals on the outside, Pink, being the youngest, was often brushed aside as incompetent, and had begged for her own colony because her authority was essentially a farce put on for their subjects. But when she got the colony she asked for, she realized to her horror that completing colonization would kill the life that lived there — a truth she'd been unaware of, as she'd believed that Gem production "created life from nothing"; she later miserably concludes that they are instead "stealing life and leaving nothing behind." When Pink made the decision as Ruler of Earth to spare the Earth from the resource extraction process that would destroy it, Yellow and Blue wrote her off as irresponsible and ungrateful, usurped control, and made her only task to smile and assure her subjects that the Rebellion that had cropped up against Gem Homeworld rule was no threat. Unbeknownst to them, Pink had created the Rebellion herself; her Puppet Queen role was a part she played in the hopes that her careful balancing act would last until her rebels could free the colonized planet; she even spread Anti-Pink propaganda to incite them further. All the while the Diamond Authority continued putting on a front of being a single, cohesive, flawless oligarchy in order to hold their empire together. Ironically, the rebel leader Rose Quartz becomes this. Initially Rose's purpose was for Pink to be able to socialize with others and experience freedom from the restraints of her class, but since her decision to spearhead a Rebellion, she had to become whatever necessary for her fellow rebels to believe in her competency in leadership and maintain unity in the cause. She had a lot of personal baggage that probably would have torn the Rebellion apart if her secrets had been known and led to the doom of the Earth, humanity, and the rebels, so she hid her flaws under a graceful, perfect, wise, infallible veneer in order to keep the Rebellion together. Which ironically though not uncoincidentally, reflects many traits in the façade propagated by the Diamond Authority about their own leadership. Furthermore, this would meant that Rose would be unable to connect with any of the other Gems as equals because of her mask. Even Pearl, her close confidant, viewed their relationship not as equals and could not provide the emotional support or intimacy she needed. Ultimately, this would be why she would end up with Greg Universe. Greg liked her for her and they were Birds of a Feather. He pushed her to be honest and to change to be more open, furthering her Character Development and giving her some much-needed emotional support. Of course, the other Gems didn't understand this nor why Rose would wanna have Steven at the risk it came to her despite being so beloved (though it's implied Garnet begins to understand once the The Chains of Commanding begin wearing on her.)

Sometimes Sheryl shows Dissonant Serenity and earns praise for being a Guile Hero as cunning as her Evil Mentor Viola, but her emotional instability as a scared teenaged girl in over her head sees her just as often break down or lash out. This is largely dependent on how confident Sheryl feels about Akira's backing, since she’s terrified of being abandon by him, and depends on her private time cuddling with him to maintain her morale, under the excuse of maintaining their Fake Relationship. Composure lessons from Viola see her becoming less dependent on this, which unnerves Akira until they settle on bathing together.

She completely owns this, turning it into Reassignment Backfire and being well on the way to bringing peace when things got worse. A non-royal version occurs in Crossbone Gundam, where Cecily Fairchild aka Bera Ronah is forced to be The Captain despite the fact that, for most of her life, she was an Ordinary High-School Student. Best illustrated in volume 2 where she freezes up during an intense battle on Io, and the Mother Vanguard's helmsman gives orders and politely criticizes Bera for spacing out when they need her the most. Queen Dianna of ∀ Gundam. Her public persona is impeccably serene and composed. Around her Identical Stranger Kihel (and later as her), she shows her whimsical and sensitive side.

She does her best to project stoicism and confidence, but she's utterly anguished by the fact that her home turned in a ravaged wreck and her parents and siblings have all died.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_90f42a9b	comment	The Wheel of Time: Elayne Trakand. Her problems are not caused by her sex or youth, but by her not actually being a queen yet. She has to deal with a civil war caused by other aspiring queens, not to mention some highly irritating magic wielders and being pregnant to a man whom (and whose children) dozens of people would love to kill. Oh, and did I mention approaching End of the World as We Know It yet? Egwene al'Vere kind of fits this, too. Or at least she used to. Sure, she's no queen, she's "just" the leader of the resident Mage Species who put her on the Amyrlin Seat as a puppet and nothing more. She had to really take charge and prove them wrong. For that matter, Queen Morgase too. Not the age part, but having to act the very picture of a queen (and the loneliness part, if her fling with Thom is any judge).

While he has the right sex, being half goblin is not exactly working in his favour. He tries to not wear the mask of the emperor, but when one of his bodyguards tells him that they cannot be his friends, he realizes that he has to. His attempts to make his Arranged Marriage at least a somewhat friendly arrangement are met with cold formality. He feels like a tyrant whenever he asserts his position but feels he has no choice. At the end of the novel he has figured out that he can have emotional connections to the people around him, even though none of them are, strictly speaking, friends.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_98744614	comment	Somewhat subverted with Queen Elinor in Brave. She fits the trope very well, being the more level-headed sovereign. Her husband, King Fergus, is a Boisterous Bruiser with a good heart who is much more prone to being ruled by his emotions than his wife. Elinor is the one who is able to calm a crowd of feuding Scots simply by walking through it with the utmost dignity and takes care of details such as the betrothal of their daughter. The subversion comes in where it doesn't appear that Elinor is remotely ruffled by her holding this position. She doesn't seem to find it at all wearying, and it's only later in the story that she comes to realize that she's adopted the mask a little too well, and learns to let her hair down again (literally, in fact).

Underneath his bitter cynicism is a Nice Guy who genuinely wants to help the world and hates the fact he has to even kill innocents to change the world. However, with his multiple secret identities, the only one he can rely on is C.C. for support. This is especially evident when he's forced to kill his Brainwashed and Crazy half-sister Euphemia after a careless phrase and Power Incontinence sent her on a massacre. He makes a glorious speech as Zero against her actions and Britannia, then goes off alone except for C.C. and cries over having to kill her and make her The Scapegoat.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_b0bfcaaa	comment	In the third book of Fred Saberhagen's Books of Swords, Princess Kristin was prepared to marry Mark, who was just a common soldier, and was completely informal with him, right up until they arrived back in Tasavalta and learned that her older sister Princess Rimac had been killed, and the principality was on the verge of civil war with no clear heir to the throne since everyone thought Kristin was also dead. Kristin then agreed to take the throne, but that of course meant she could no longer marry Mark or be his lover. After that, she had to be totally formal with Mark and hide her true feelings. The mask slipped once or twice, as when her uncle, the wizard Karel, was reluctant to leave them alone together, and Kristin angrily pointed out that it was way too late to be worried about that. It all worked out in the end when Mark was revealed to be the son of the Emperor, and as such an appropriate consort for the princess after all. Subverted with Yambu, the Silver Queen, in the same series. After she became queen, she became detached and distant, and could never let her true feelings show; but at the same time was also pretty informal, and took any man whom she pleased as a lover, although she never had any feelings for them, of course. She's also a subversion in the sense that her emotional detachment is necessary for her to commit the crimes she proceeds to carry out in power, including selling her own daughter into slavery.

It's hinted that her centuries of isolation without Luna was a big reason why. At the beginning of "Sweet and Elite", Rarity is given a room in the palace while staying in Canterlot and goes overboard with the praise, going so far as to kiss Celestia's hooves. The princess is visibly uncomfortable the entire time. In "Princess Twilight - Part 1", Celestia explains to Twilight that she's been enduring the Summer Sun Celebrations for the sake of her subjects, even though it's served her only as a bitter reminder of her needing to banish her sister. However, she is much happier and looking forward to the one in this season, since it now serves as a celebration of her and Luna reuniting. Luna too displays some of this. Though she gets upset when her subjects display fear towards her, she is clearly more comfortable as the distant, imperious monarch as a means of hiding her more vulnerable nature. After Twilight Sparkle becomes a princess, she notably averts this, acting the same as she did before ascending. She even tells her friends not to refer to her as "Princess Twilight."

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_cd8905f6	comment	Baccano!: Luck Gandor. He was pushed into running "the family business" after his father died before even reaching fifteen years old and has to deal with his subordinates treating him like Just a Kid. So, to be taken seriously, he overcompensates like hell and puts up a front of ruthlessness that even he starts believing — though his best friend and adoptive brother both see right through it.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_cec99ed9	comment	Queen Sharleyan of the Safehold kingdom of Chisholm inherited the throne at a young age after her father was murdered. While her uncle and her first councilor were instrumental in helping her stay on the throne, Sharleyan herself was quick to develop into a strong young woman. Additionally, she did it with the precedent of a less able queen hanging over her.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_d2c74459	comment	A non-royal version occurs in Crossbone Gundam, where Cecily Fairchild aka Bera Ronah is forced to be The Captain despite the fact that, for most of her life, she was an Ordinary High-School Student. Best illustrated in volume 2 where she freezes up during an intense battle on Io, and the Mother Vanguard's helmsman gives orders and politely criticizes Bera for spacing out when they need her the most.

Referred to as 'Queen B' and served by minions, she displays a constant need for perfection and order while suffering secret parental abandonment and insecurity over her classmates' love of her bubbly best friend (Serena). As soon as she leaves, her replacement is so much worse that even those she was worst to miss her.

If Byleth is not there by her side after she ascends the throne, she retreats even further into her queenly mask after the Time Skip, becoming a "harsh leader with a heart of ice".

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_e199d649	comment	Nasuada from the Inheritance Cycle isn't a queen, but she is the leader of The Alliance and theoretically equal to her royal supporters. She has workaholic tendencies and once noted that she cannot indulge in romance, though she has considered proposing a diplomatic marriage to one of her allies. Murtagh has a one-sided crush on her, which will probably turn out to be important in the last book of the series. This turns into a more literal example at the end of Inheritance when Nasuada is declared Queen. Good call on the Murtagh thing, which also enhances this by not allowing the two to be together.

She is the daughter of a legendary prosecutor and feels pressured to live up to his image, despite her self doubts and her fears that she can never be perfect. She slowly comes to realize that her father was only able to stay 'perfect' because he cheated, coached testimonies, falsified evidence, and probably got a lot of innocent people convicted.

On the inside he is deeply lonely and yearns for human contact, even something simple as joking with friends, is naturally a wild mage and of course has emotions.

The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask / int_ef6880c5	comment	Princess Elodie, the heroine of Long Live the Queen, is a young girl who has just had the responsibility of ruling an entire country thrust upon her well before anyone expected her to be ready for the task, least of all Elodie herself. The mood swings she experiences are important for players to consider, given that her attitude affects how well she does in her weekly classes. Focusing on being loyal and eloquent and neglecting to learn how to run an empire or command an army or fight will likely get her either killed or overthrown. Usually killed. On the flip side, focusing on developing her military commanding and combat skills at the expense of court manners or royal demeanour may impact how she behaves in front of her other nobles, which can also result in getting her killed or overthrown. Usually killed.
