Queen Adran is the queen of the Adranika race, a fictional race in Darna created by Filipino comics writer Mars Ravelo.
Queen Adran was the benevolent Queen of the surface dwelling race called "ADRANIKA" on the Planet Marte. Her rival, QUEEN BRAGUDA (of the underground dwelling "ANOMALKA" race) was her former friend until Braguda vowed to one day conquer the Planet Earth as well as the rest of the universe. To thwart Braguda's plan, Adran stole the magic "White stone" of power from Braguda. Without the white stone, Braguda would be unable to conquer the rest of the universe. To help prevent Braguda from ever reclaiming it, Queen Adran sent her confidant- "Aio" to the planet Earth to find a worthy host for the white stone's power. Right after Aio leaves the Planet Marte for the Earth, Marte is destroyed as well as Queen Adran along with it. It is later discovered that there are other Adranikans survived but unfortunately, Queen Adran is not one of them.
In the 2005 television series of Darna by GMA Network, Queen Adran is played by veteran Filipina actress Lorna Tolentino.
Famous quotes containing the word queen:
“Just as the queen bee, the highest-ranking, peerless creature of her hive, is surrounded by lowly drones to please her, whereas the workers produce honey, the same way is the one who sits on the throne an equal only to himself, and no one’s companion.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
