Toara Dowager, often styled “Queen Dowager Toara,” is a crucial, though not always front-and-center, character in the Clevatess universe. She serves as the regent queen of the Kingdom of Hiden and the mother of Luna. Though her origins are not of royal blood, her steely resolve, maternal devotion, and political acumen elevate her to a position of tremendous weight in the kingdom’s fate. (Clevatess Wiki)
Appearance & Heritage
Toara is of the Hidenean race, which distinguishes her physically from many of the human or humanoid characters in the world of Clevatess. She has long pink hair and striking violet (or blue-violet) eyes. As with other Hideneans, her features include long ears and a snout-like facial structure, marking her as distinctly non-human in appearance. (Clevatess Wiki) In formal settings, she is seen wearing regal attire—often a flowing blue dress and a crown—as befits her role in the royal court. (Clevatess Wiki) In moments of crisis or battle, she dons armor, typically embellished with gold, to match her stateliness and command. (Clevatess Wiki)
Personality & Motivations
Toara is characterized by fierce determination and an iron will. Although she lacks bloodline ties to the royal line of Hiden, she embraces her role as regent with intensity and authority, placing the welfare of her kingdom above personal considerations. (Clevatess Wiki) Her overriding motivation is to protect Hiden, to ensure its survival in a world beset with dark beasts and geopolitical turmoil—and to recover her lost son, Luna. (Clevatess Wiki) She is unflinching, courageous, and willing to bear burdens many would shy from.
Yet, beneath this steely exterior lies deep vulnerability: the loss of Luna in the cataclysm that struck the capital haunts her. For much of her story arc, she is driven by the hope of reuniting with him. (Clevatess Wiki) Her motherhood is not merely symbolic; it becomes the emotional core of her decisions, her sacrifices, and her resolve.
Role & Relationships
As regent, Toara governs Hiden in the absence (or incapacity) of other ruling figures, making her a linchpin in the kingdom's stability during crisis. In the late stages of the narrative, she is shown granting gifts or favors to heroes or allies to shore up alliances. (Moe Sucks) Her most significant relationship is with her son, Luna, who was separated from her during the destruction of the capital. She never relinquishes her intention to find him. (Clevatess Wiki)
An emblematic moment highlights her humility and gratitude: when her son is cared for by Nelluru (a slave-born wet nurse), Toara bows before Nelluru as a token of thanks—an act that surprises many, given Nelluru’s status. (TV Tropes) This moment reveals Toara’s capacity for respect beyond social hierarchy; she recognizes and rewards true merit and kindness.
Narrative Significance
While the central conflict of Clevatess revolves around the demonic beast Clevatess, the struggle between kingdoms, and the mystery of “true humans,” Toara serves as an anchor for human (or humanoid) resilience, continuity, and emotional stakes. Her presence reminds the story that politics, sovereignty, and family are intertwined; that the fate of nations is inseparable from the fate of individuals.
In the climax, her actions help facilitate reconciliation, strength, and hope in the aftermath of conflict. Her leadership during turmoil, her bond with Luna, and her willingness to recognize and honor others—even those of low status—make her a compelling and dignified figure who bridges power and compassion.
