Queen Iolanda

Queen Iolanda is a character from Shadow Fight 3. She is the Queen of Legion, and the twin sister of Moira. Despite being the Legion queen, Iolanda had violated the old Legion ways herself. She blamed the Elders and their old percepts, which according to her had caused their land to be vulnerable.

Story
The Scourge attacked her homeland when Iolanda was still a little princess. Their attack was thwarted by Shadow, but it left her twin sister, Moira, to be infected and dying. Thinking she has died, Iolanda suffered sorrow from losing her sister and she became extremely scared that the Scourge may have infected her as well, and she will die soon. Saw an opportunity, Bolo came and lied to her by saying she is indeed infected, but he can save her. Bolo upgraded Iolanda's body by installing many devices to her body, turning her into a doll-like being. Bolo said these could prevent the Scourge's influence and she now could continue living. Iolanda is very grateful to Bolo, thinking he had saved her and the Legion.

Thanks to her trauma and Bolo's influence, Iolanda developed a mindset that the Elders' percepts are causing the Legion to become weak. She then became the Legion Queen, she will now acts as a figure of speech, while the Elders will rules the Legion from behind the scenes.

At least that's what everyone think is happened; Iolanda actually seized power and imprisoned everyone she dislikes, including the Elders. And since she trusted Bolo more than the Legion, Iolanda discarded all her personal guards and replaced them with Bolo's Heralds. She is actively supporting the existence of Shadow squads, which are supposed to protect them from shadow beasts, although none of them can resist the temptation. Iolanda silenced everyone who disagree with these squads and wanted them to be disbanded. Not many know these truths. Even Sarge, the sergeant of Shadow squad doesn't know this until he is captured and taken to the Fortress. A court-martial is awaiting him, but Iolanda still have mercy and spares his life, making Sarge a prison guard instead.

Chapter VI: Heart of the Legion
A noise from the Fortress Wall, which is caused by the party bringing Moira trying to enter, causes Iolanda to go outside to check what is happened. When she sees the party, Iolanda spots Moira wearing a pendant familiar to her. Moira greets her twin sister, commenting on how she has grown up and introduces her friends to Iolanda. The Queen asks her, along with June, to come with her inside to discuss the pendant, while she takes the rest of them to be imprisoned. Marcus immediately requests Iolanda to informs the Elder about his presence, but the Queen reveals to him that all of them but one has died. The only one left is imprisoned and had lost his sanity. Iolanda then leaves them.

After Sarge freed them and told them the power corruption he learned from spending his times in the Fortress, they barges into the throne room. Moira and June are fine, however they are surrounded by the Queen's personal guards, Bolo's Heralds. Marcus questions her how could she let the Legion's percepts being violated. Iolanda tells him that Marcus have no rights to judge her, as the Elders and everyone supporting their old ways only cared about the Sphere, leaving their land vulnerable, while only Bolo helped them. The Queen then tries to execute them all, and she reveals her doll-like body, surprising everyone. She reveals this is Bolo's doing to ensure she survived from the Scourge. Moira pleas to her twin to stop this, as they're not her enemy. At this rate, Iolanda will not listen to anyone and the fight is unavoidable. After the player defeats her, Itu talks some senses to her. From their experience, if she is indeed infected by Scourge, then she would be a shadow beast already, revealing to her that Bolo deceived her. After Itu requests her to tell about Shadow, Iolanda informs them that Shadow once visited the crypt and never came back. The crypt is where May rests, she was killed when the beasts invaded their land. Iolanda then guides the party to the crypt entrance, but she will not go further than this because there's a shadow anomaly that causes normal people to become mad and aggressive.

Queen Iolanda is fought as the second boss of Chapter VI. The devices installed on her body allowed her to regenerates her health. She fights with the Heralds fighting style, wields a type of Kamas as her weapons, and she utilizes three perks.
