[It feels foolish having to introduce herself, especially after a sequence of introductions. But it is in her very nature to vie for a leadership position, and as such, when she finds an opportunity to introduce herself before the masses...she does so.
She doesn't wear any fancy armour, nor does she carry any fancy weapon. But she does carry a presence and an edge to her voice, and as she addresses the group she does command attention in the way any well-trained political leader may.
Her voice is brisk, and settles into a rhythm of someone who has given many a speech in her life.]
I am Anora Theirin of Ferelden, and I too hail from Thedas. I may not possess magic to easily impress the masses, and I may not wield fanciful swords or daggers or what-have-you [slight digs at Fiona and Elissa...sorry guys not] but I do possess talent and skills that will do us good in times to come.
I am a queen. And while being queen of Ferelden may mean little to those who do not come from Thedas, I assure you that it is my knowledge of ruling and commanding that does, in fact, mean something. Anyone can be queen given the right circumstances and blood, but it takes a special few to be a great queen. I was taught by the very best, raised with a queenship in mind. For five years I have ruled a nation on my first husband's behalf, and will continue to do so in years following shall I ever return home.
I am an intellectual, I am a thinker, I am an excellent strategist and I know how to play this game and win.
[she clasps her hands behind her back, squaring her shoulders.]
I am well-loved by my people in Ferelden, and I hope to instill a similar sort of trust with my fellow Transports. I may be queen from where I am, but I am also one of you. My interest lies in my fellow Transports' success, and I look forward to working with all of you.
