The First Queen (一ノ妃, Ichi-no-Kisaki) is the highest ranked of the Mikado's three wives[1] and the mother of First Prince Sagum. Her given name is Liano[2]. She belongs to Tosuku house[3]
In the anime, she is shown to be visibly distraught and grief-striken by Sagum's death. In the third novel, Guardian of the Dream, her grief is so great that she becomes trapped within a magical dream that lets her live her deepest wishes, and must be rescued by Torogai and Tanda. Her grief and misery also keep others trapped inside the dream, including Tanda's niece Kaya and Crown Prince Chagum.
