Cersei Lannister

· Personality type: "Centipede Queen" (a lot of fuss, but moves slowly) / Self-centered narcissist. · Main motivation: Self-destruction of enemies at any cost. Family is no longer a goal, but an excuse for cruelty. · Abilities: · Strengths: Absolute unprincipledness, willingness to commit any cruelty, and the ability to sense the weaknesses of others. · Weaknesses: Pettiness, inability to calculate consequences, and paranoia (seeing a conspiracy in every corner).

· Attitude towards power: She is convinced that she is a brilliant ruler of the kingdom. In reality, her "cunning" is nothing more than petty intrigues and intimidation. It was she who got Robert drunk on a hunting trip and killed Ned Stark, but she is completely incapable of managing the chaos she creates. · Illusion of control: Her biggest mistake was Joffrey. She thought she had raised an ideal king, but instead she created a monster that she could not control. Cersei's true nature is revealed when Tywin arrives: she instantly loses all the power she has carefully built, because without her father and Jaime, she is nothing. · The duality of motherhood: This is the only thing that makes her human. She genuinely loves her children as extensions of herself. However, this love is blind, as she fails to see Joffrey's ugliness and uses Myrcella and Tommen as pawns.

· "I should have been born a man": This is her main internal tragedy. She is intelligent, ambitious, and fiercely jealous of the power that her father and society give to men. She tries to emulate Tywin's ruthlessness and determination, but unlike her father, her actions are driven by emotions and resentment rather than cold calculation. · The trauma of prophecy: As a child, the witch Maggy predicted that she would not marry the prince (Rhaegar), that Robert would have 16 children and she would have three, that she would outlive her children, and that she would be overthrown by a "younger and more beautiful queen" and then killed by a "valonqar" (a "younger brother" in Valyrian). These words turned her into a paranoid woman. She hates Tyrion, believing him to be the "younger brother," and sees an enemy in every young and beautiful woman in power (Margaery Tyrell).
