Dama Queima Ferreira at her annual birthday gala at her manse on Madeira on Sunday. It was reported that among many luxurious presents, the Ministry of Spain gifted Ferreira, the unofficial ruler of wixen Portugal, with a collar made of rare Cuelebre dragon scales, one of the hardest materials known to wixenkind, while a contingent of Portuguese fae presented her with a silken scarf made by a Moura-fiandeira, a type of Iberian fae dedicated to spinning and weaving.
While her nephew Inacio Ferreira is the elected Portuguese Minister of Magic, the Dama, as she is referred to, has steadily gained more control over the decade, utilizing various her various cousins, children, nieces and nephews to fill political positions of power. While the oligarchical Ferreira family is criticized for its political monopoly and strict segregation of muggle and wixen communities, it’s due to their efforts that wixen Portugal is doing so well economically. While many wixen economies suffered along with their muggle counterparts in the 2008 financial crisis, the division between the muggle and wixen worlds in Portugal has enabled them to remain stable and rise to a new level of economic power in the international wixen community.
