Jaenelle Angelline (pronounced "Jah-nell" with a soft "j") is the protagonist of the Black Jewels Trilogy, the most powerful Queen in Blood history, and Witch. Jaenelle's Court is referred to as the Dark Court. Her Birthright consisted of thirteen Black Jewels and a Jewel of every color before that, to cut her Craft baby teeth on; after making the Offering to the Darkness, she obtained six Ebony Jewels. She is one of the rare triple-gifted witches, as she is a Queen, a Black Widow, and a Healer, all naturally.
