DEEANDRA ROSAURA MARTELL
163 years old

Deeandra, who just goes by Dee, is a powerful witch who has sided herself with Seraphion and his band of rebels. She's intelligent and manipulative and built her multibillion credit empire from the ground up. She's one of the richest people in Wiz, apart from the royal family and is under constant surveillance of the Council. Her company is the top distributor of food and drink products and her stores are located in every major city. Her main headquarters is located in the Main City but for convince, she personally lives outside the city's walls.
She grew up during King Belantino's rule and remembers him fondly. Her mother was a single parent so they didn't have much money, but Dee was gifted academically and left the Academy at the top of her class. Instead of joining an already existing business, she decided to challenge herself and create her own. She named her company 'Sugar Rush' because of her love of sweet things and it quickly became a household name.Sugar Rush created everything from cookies to salad to sugary drinks to pizza and their distinct flavors and assortment of colors pushed all the other competitors to the side. The company hit a rough spot when Belantino passed and Bellarose took power. Individual companies were being torn down one after the other, so it was a unanimous decision within the Sugar Rush empire to temporarily stop production. During that time, Deeandra got married and became an educator to young wizards to stay out of the Queen radar.
Luckily, her rule ended after a short nine years and her son, Belzeneff took over. Although he did incorporate some of his mother's ideals, such as keeping Wiz under his control, he allowed companies and business to bloom again, just as long as they passed his requirements. Great Oz must have smiled upon her because the King had a particular sweettooth for her products and became her most loyal customer. He even invested a good amount of money in her empire, enough to open stores all over Wiz. It was supposedly for the good of the people, but it was really because he wanted to have access to her food no matter where he went in world. It was selfish, but it allowed Sugar Rush to become the powerhouse that it is today.
She doesn't personally hate the King, (she's actually quite fond of him since she has witness him growing up throughout the years), but she wants Wiz to go back to how it was when she was growing up and she thinks Seraphion can achieve that. She's a family friend of the Sudlenkov family and often helps Peppa Jack run Candiland. His father and her went way back since they created their companies around the same time and it was Dee who came up with the name of the brothel in the first place.
Because she pretty much married her gay best friend, she's had a number of different lovers throughout the years and often becomes their sugar momma. She and Deedric have a solid relationship, even when they are seeing other people, and remain the best of friends.
Most of her magic, or whatever is left of it, is used on keeping her appearance young and beautiful, but her mind is still as sharp as ever. Her children and grandchildren are all employees of Sugar Rush so when she passes away, they will take over the family business. But Deeandra isn't planning on dying any time soon, not until Wiz is changed for the better.
