[Past and Present]
Name: N/A
Nicknames: The Queen of Hearts, Heart Queen, "That Weirdo Over There," etcetera.
Age: His sesquicentennial is this year.
Apparent Age: Mid to late teens
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Asexual.
[Physical]
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120 pounds, give or take.
Eyes: Large; they are perhaps the most noticeable features on Queen's face, as they are incredibly expressive -- needless to say, that is much more so than his entire facial expressions put together. One might think they were colorless on first glance... but they're just very, very washed-out.
Hair: Queen keeps his platinum-blond hair medium-length: enough to work with but short enough so that it doesn't get in the way. Never, ever seen without at least a small crown-clip or some other identifying piece of jewelry in his hair.
Complexion/Build: As far as complexion goes, Queen is as pale as they come. Lithe and willowy, he has a skin texture that rivals raw cake batter, and limbs long enough to be elegant and graceful without being disproportionate to the rest of him.
Clothing: Because he's a little vain, Queen tends to go with only the best in silks, fur, and fustian; his mantle is said to be made of part of the Jabberwocky’s mane, although that's not exactly proven. He won't go outside in anything less than five layers of clothing, unless he's feeling particularly capricious, in which case, he just goes out naked XD;. Favors dark, rich colors, like burgundy, puce, gold, black, and cream, and wears an ungodly amount of jewelry.
[Personal]
Personality: The Queen, first and foremost, is proud... probably to a fault. While he's not exactly the most imposing of presences outside of work, he has an aura that commands the full attention and respect of those he comes into contact with. It's not an inborn trait: Queen felt as though he had to earn the image he's cultivated because naturally, he's not a very commanding person (his appearance doesn‘t help, either), and this sense of dignity and poise had to be actively practiced before he began to incorporate it into his personality. During the hours that he’s in the public eye, he’s stone-faced and despondent to anything that doesn’t directly concern him, but it’s after work that he lets himself go. Vicious, malicious, and shrewd; no stupid comment or fault of yours will go unnoticed if he’s in the area.
Queen is batshit crazy, and there is no other word for him. Yes, he’s sweet, slightly innocent, and overall very docile, but as a defense mechanism against those who would try to prey on his naïveté, he favors (and vigorously grooms) his wild, hedonistic side. Parties are a great delight of his, and he’s not above sneaking incognito to the Uptown for some fun… which might entail anything from rampant shopping to organizing sex parties (which, oddly enough, he never actually participates in. Go figure). If he tires of your presence, he’ll be frank about it… and if you’re unfortunate enough to get cast in a bad light, he will have you executed without anything more than a second glance and a bright smile. In his defense, it’s very hard to get him to want you dead (unless you’re just an uppity servant, of course), but nevertheless, it’s best to keep an eye out for him.
Whether for better or worse, Queen has an abandonment complex a mile wide -- his unruly-outside-of-work behaviour is just a way for him to reconcile with the fact that he feels he has no true friends. Whenever he goes into his ‘emobitch modes,’ he can often be seen languishing near your generic “quiet” places, like pools of water, high up in trees, etcetera, so it’s particularly hard to track him down when he’s brooding.
Unfortunately, he does have a little bit of a homicidal streak in him, and is prone to shouting out death sentences (most involving, yes, heads) when he’s feeling impish. Queen’s much like a precocious, spoiled child in this sense -- if you have something he wants, he’s not above getting you executed for it.

[Past and Present]
History: Queen doesn’t know from where he comes, or even if he had a beginning at all. He doesn’t particularly care for dwelling on the past, but “remembers waking up underwater in some random pond in the Toadstool Forest, alone, naked, shivering, and made his way to the Castle. Past that, he remembers nothing -- or he’s blocked it out or forgotten it.” Whenever he’s asked, that’s usually the story he gives them, but the true one is quite different: he did indeed wake up “naked and shivering in some random pond in the Toadstool Forest,” but he was not alone. Not three minutes after he’d woken did he strike his bargain with Time, receiving companionship for the price of his past life outside of Wonderland.
Expecting the traditional “soul-mate-slash-best-friend,” Time transported Queen to the Castle… whereupon he was welcomed back as if he’d been there before. Irked, Queen realized that Time had given him everything but companions: it’d given him an endless supply of underlings. Furious, Queen had all of the staff executed, and hired new Cards to serve him, so the secret of his trade might be safe.
Past that, there isn’t much to be said. He’s lived, he’s ruled, and he’d like to die some day.
