Philis is one of the most unusual rulers I've ever met. She looks like a queen but is actually a peddler. Sometimes she seems calm and wise, but she's still a peddler. She bears the heavy responsibility of a race, but honestly, she's just a peddler. If there were a "Bizarre Monarchs Ranking" in the Macro World, Philis would definitely be in the top three and hold the title for life...
The biggest difficulty in communicating with Philis is this: whenever I'm about to discuss serious matters, Philis goes off on a tangent about opportunistic profiteering. And the reverse is true too: whenever Philis talks about serious stuff, I might go off on a tangent myself...
