Black Queen

The Black Queen (or the Glorious Monarch) is, in Sburb, the ruler and monarch of Derse. She wears the Queen's Ring, which changes her appearance in the same fashion as the prototypings performed by the Sburb players and is the definitive source of her power.

For the instance of the Black Queen that appears in the Troll's session, see.

Homestuck
The Black Queen is first seen demanding that Jack Noir is wearing his outfit in the theme of the prototyping, despite his reluctance. Upon meeting the Parcel Mistress, an enemy agent, she directed her to Jack Noir's office, as he handles most of the tedious paperwork in Derse. Loathed by Jack, the Black Queen torments him through various means.

After further prototypings produce an even more ridiculous costume, Jack refuses to wear it outright. This causes her to turn violent, threatening him with a blade, at which point Jack uses the contents of Jade's package to sever her ring finger and violently kill her. He then puts on on her ring, becoming prototyped like she was and receiving her power, the power which fuels his rampage and leads to the destruction of Prospit and the devastation of Skaia.

The Black Queen's counterpart is the Black King. While the Black Queen rules and performs administrative duties on her home planet, the Black King commands troops on The Battlefield against Prospit.

Appearance
Due to her prototyping, she is seen with a mauled Jester's hat, a scar on her eye, and a missing arm from the Harlequin kernel. She also has tentacles with pink stripes and a cat-shaped head shaped from the Jaspers kernel. After Dave enters the medium, she assumes a pair of wings and a removable blade in her torso from the Rambunctious Crow kernel. On her right hand she wears a ring with four small orbs suspended just above the surface. Like the orbs seen on the spires of Derse, the number of glowing orbs indicate how many prototypings have occurred.

Hivebent
In the Troll's session, the Black Queen was overthrown by the Trolls, with help from Jack Noir. She was exiled to post-apocalyptic Alternia, becoming the Banished Quasiroyal. She eventually joined as.
