This is beautiful and complex and makes me want to go reread Prince Caspian to learn more of her. Its fascinating to see inside her head and how she knows how to be queen but being in exile and without a clear place is difficult. Also your writing of her issues with the Old Narnians is beautifully done as it shows how strange they can seem and her world view, yet that didn't make her less than herself. This is a wonderful and thought provoking story.
