Nefertiti

Great Royal Wife of Akhenaten and one of the most-recognized figures of ancient Egypt (the painted Berlin Bust). She held unprecedented prominence in Amarna art and the Aten cult — co-officiating and even shown in the king's smiting posture — and may have ruled as the coregent/successor Neferneferuaten in the final Amarna years. Mother of six daughters including Ankhesenamun (wife of Tutankhamun). Mortal-tier by descent.
