Movie
Description
Ilene is the reigning queen of the kingdom of Rota and the current mistress of Cameron Palace, a grand castle where the annual festival in honor of the hero Sir Aaron is held. She is the granddaughter and descendant of Queen Rin, the ruler who was served by Sir Aaron in the distant past, and bears a very strong physical resemblance to her ancestor. Ilene has blonde hair that reaches past her hips and green eyes.
As the monarch of Rota, Ilene is a dignified and gracious leader who is loved and respected by her citizens for possessing both kindness and regal bearing. She is deeply attached to her kingdom and its traditions, taking great care to organize and preside over the annual celebration that commemorates Sir Aaron and the kingdom's history. She is also known to be a sensitive person who is concerned with the well-being of her realm. Her loyalty to her people is profound, as she refuses to evacuate Cameron Palace even when the nearby Tree of Beginning begins to crumble and threatens the castle's integrity, choosing instead to witness the events unfold from her home.
Ilene plays a supporting role as the host of the tournament held at her palace. She officially opens the annual battling competition and watches the matches from the royal box with her servant, Jenny. When Ash Ketchum, wearing a replica of Sir Aaron's outfit, wins the tournament, she grants him the honor of holding the hero's staff, an act which inadvertently leads to the release of the Pokémon Lucario from his centuries-long imprisonment. When Lucario, confused by the passage of time, first awakens and confronts her, Ilene kindly explains that she is not Queen Rin but her descendant, and that many ages have passed since he was sealed away. She is well-versed in the legends of her kingdom and later retells the story of Sir Aaron to Ash and his friends. Knowing that the elusive Pokémon Mew frequently visits the palace to play tricks, she also helps them understand what may have happened when Pikachu disappears. When Ash resolves to journey to the perilous Tree of Beginning to rescue his friend, Ilene gives the group her blessing and instructs Lucario to act as their guide, affirming that the palace will always be his home.
Ilene has one notable key relationship, that with the small Pokémon Mime Jr., who is always at her side and does not live inside a Poké Ball. This Pokémon has a playful personality and enjoys mimicking the people around her. Her other relationships include her servant Jenny, who assists her with the festival, and the legendary hero Lucario, to whom she shows great respect and compassion by offering him refuge.
As a character, Ilene does not undergo a significant arc or personal development within the film. Her role is primarily static, serving as a representative of the present-day kingdom who maintains a connection to its legendary past. Her primary motivation is the preservation of her kingdom's traditions and the safety of her people. Ilene does not possess any notable combat abilities or special powers; her authority comes from her position as queen and her dignified, benevolent leadership.
