Description
A rough thingy I put together of a little Jaqueline with her mother, Empress Dowager Adena.

I felt the need to make some references for Jaqueline's history and backstory so that I wouldn't forget and write/draw something totally out of context XD (has a bad habit of doing that).

In the whole grand scheme of things, Jaqueline is the 5th ruler of Vermilion. The 4th having been her father, who sadly passed away due to unknown circumstances. However, it is theorized by the people that when the heir to the Vermilion sailor crystal was born, the power was transferred to the female host, seeing as the current holder was male and therefore cannot be a sailor senshi. This was only a theory, and the real cause is still unknown.

Due to the fact that their daughter was not yet old enough to wield the power of the sailor crystal, Jaqueline's mother had to take over. Technically, that does make Empress Adena the 5th Empress, however, in terms of "royal blood", the powers of Vermilion was handed down through Jaqueline's father, therefore the true 5th Empress is Jaqueline. Also, in terms of ruling power, the wife of an Emperor doesn't necessarily gain her husband's entitlements (example, Queen Elizabeth's husband is known by 'Prince' and not King) and only gained the title of Empress Dowager upon her husband's passing.
