Queen Anwyn becomes an increasingly important character in The Borderlands trilogy. She first appears in the final part of Book One: Journey, and it is clear from the moment she appears that she has a striking presence. Such a character would need to be played by an actress who is both beautiful and a little 'elfish' in her appearance. Rosamund Pike has the right look for such a role.
