Elisif shouldn't be high queen. She lacks confidence, charismsa, or leadership. However, Ulfric, the Nordic embodiment of greed, egotism, and manipulation of others, is 40 times worse in every way. Frankly, if it were up to me, I'd put Rikke in charge and be done with it. She is loyal to the Empire, she's a nord (which I couldn't give two flying f#cks about, but many nords would), she shows obvious leadership skills, she seems to be quite intellegent (not off the charts Savos Aren intellegent by any means, but deffinitely smart enough to get the job done), she isn't a nordic suppremisast (like Ulfric), and msot importantly of all, she cares about Skyrim, both the coutnry and its people (not that Elisif doesn't). The problem w/ Elisif, is that she is a blank canvas, and can be dyed to any color with ease. Maybe this works better in another discussion tho, IDK.
