Queen Rowena Delvenon IV

Queen Rowena Delvenon IV (nee Alvadine Visdont) was queen of Helkvia, and mother of Snow White.

Childhood
Alvadine Visdont was born to a wealthy northern family and lived on her family's manor for many years learning to be a lady.

Mariage
At age 16 she wed the king of the north, Hans Delvenon III, and changed her name to Rowena Delvenon IV. They became a very close couple, and slowly fell in love. However she experienced difficulty becoming pregnant.

One Winter's Morning
One winter's morning Rowena walked through the Ice Apple gardens contemplating her inability to became pregnant. A white bird started cooing. The queen approached the creature and helped it out of twine its leg had been trapped in, pricking her finger on the twine. The bird revealed itself to be a Fae.

The fae asked the queen what she desired most. "A child." she said. She looked down. A drop of red blood had hit the snow. "with skin white like your feathers and lips as red as my blood." She looked at the fae. "Take a bite of that apple and try once more with your husband tonight." The queen turned and a single red apple had grown on the branch of a tree. That night she became pregnant.

Pregnancy
The queen's pregnancy became difficult as winter continued. She refused to eat anything but apples that would not grow, and as the child was born she died.
