Amihan (later Queen Amihan of Lireo) is a character and the protagonist of the Encantadia series, written by Suzette Doctolero. The Encantadia franchise, consisting of four series Encantadia (2005), Etheria (2005–06), Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas (2006), and Encantadia (2016), is primarily focused on Amihan's journey to the throne of the Kingdom of Lireo. Amihan is portrayed by actress Iza Calzado on the first 3 series, and in the spin-off movie Mulawin: The Movie, while Kylie Padilla portrayed the character in the 2016 series of the same name.
In Encantadia, Amihan is the daughter of Mine-a, the Queen of Lireo and Raquim, prince of Sapiro. She was sent to the mortal world to save her from the Hathors who are planning to kill her, as she has been visionized as a threat to the Hathoria Kingdom. Her ancestry has never been kept secret from her as she was taught by her father about Encantadia during her childhood days. When the Hathors followed them in the mortal world, and succeeded in killing his father, she returned to Encantadia and reunited with her mother and 3 sisters. She succeeded her mother as the Queen of Lireo in Encantadia (2005) and continued her reign until Etheria (2006). She was then succeeded by her sister Danaya in Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas (2006).
Encantadia is a spin-off of Mulawin. In Mulawin, a similar character named Banayad (portrayed by Katarina Perez) was Encantadia's diwata of wind/air and could be considered as the first version of the character.
In the Philippines, Amihan refers to the season dominated by the trade winds, which are experienced in the Philippines as a cool northeast wind. It is characterized by moderate temperatures, little or no rainfall, and a prevailing wind from the east. Encantadia writer, Suzette Doctolero based it on that concept as Amihan is the keeper of Gem of Wind/Air. In the series, four gems of nature referred as Brilyante (Gems) control balance in their world: the air, fire, water and earth.
