The two Valanices (Vee and Neese)

Valanice is the wife of Graham (KQGS), and grandmother of Gwendolyn and Gart.  There are two, and both are are based on Valanice of the classic King's Quest series.

Background

Some may think they know the legend of how Graham rescued his future bride Valanice from the wicked witch Hagatha’s tower but the truth behind the fairy-tale is much more complicated!

Valanice is the full name of two princesses (Vee and Neese )that Graham discovered in Hagatha's Tower. One of them became Graham's wife.

There are actually two Valanices one from Eastern Kolyma and the other from Western Kolyma, but only one ultimately married Graham.


Personality and traits

Valanice loves her husband, children and grandchildren. She is concerned with Graham's health, and making sure he is keeping up taking his many prescription drugs, potions and remedies. While she instills respect and duty to her grandchildren, and the need to keep up with their chores, she stands aside to allow her husband to tell stories of his youth to the grandchildren, only interupting when it is important for Graham or her grandchildren to get rest.

Titles and nicknames

Behind the scenes

As of Chapter 1, Valanice only appears as a sillouette near the front edge of the rooms she enters, and her appearance hasn't been revealed.

She does not appear in chapter2, but there are one or two references to her.

There maybe 'two' Valanices to choose from in Chapter 3. They both have affinity, basically, and every puzzle you do in the game you’re going to start to earn favor with one of them or the other, and [whoever you end up with becomes] your canon Valanice for the series.” Oh, so is that why, two episodes in, we have yet to see Queen Valanice’s face?
