- Queen's profile

Queen served as the only female member of Geddoe's unit of the Harmonian Southern Frontier Defense Force. She has a strong temper and a harsh tone of voice, but in fact had a very caring and warm personality under the surface. She was also strong both physically and in terms of will.

She was born to a distinguished family in the country of Sanady but lost that life when the nation was invaded and annexed by Harmonia. As such, she was quite cultured when it comes to music and literature, especially in comparison to her colleagues in the unit.

She tended towards practical clothing, with green as the base color. Her choker was decorated with animal feathers, and her overall fashion tastes tended towards the traditional in that regard.

Queen's weapon was a one-handed sword belonging to the light and easy-to-handle saber family, with a straight blade and a single edge, designed to strike quickly and surely when on a mission. Her sword was named after phases of the moon. She held a Ripple Rune, which could easily poison her targets also.

She felt the closest to Geddoe within the SFDF, helping to support him and deflecting scrutiny during the War of the Champions. The two held a deep respect and trust for one another. Queen's support seemed to help Geddoe cope with and overcome his own emotional wounds during the conflict.

Queen also had her own pain as someone who lost her homeland and felt regret for not doing all she could have done to fight it. It was for this reason she encouraged the Grasslanders and Zexen to unite and fight against the Harmonian invasion, supporting Geddoe's efforts to unite the forces until the banner of the Fire Bringer.

Her perspective of losing and fighting for one's home surfaced again when helping Franz. Franz would admonish himself for fighting for Harmonia to protect Le Buque. Queen encouraged Franz not to give up in her own sardonic way. She felt those who gave up, like herself in the past, did not deserve anything and so she tried to keep Franz's focus on protecting what was important, not on lamenting things he could not change.

At Budehuc Castle, Queen generally stayed away from the louder people, but got in a spat with Mel, apparently "teaching her a lesson" of some kind, though Mel insisted it was Branky who had instigated the fight. She took Aila under her wing while she accompanied the group as it was nice to finally have another woman to talk to, despite their age difference. She also has a fierce rivalry with Elaine, from the 14th unit of the SFDF, for some undisclosed reason.

Following the war, she would continue to serve in Geddoe's unit, their roles unchanged by the conflict.
