The White Queen is the ruler of Prospit. She wears one of the Queen's Rings, which changes her appearance in the same fashion as the prototypings performed by the Sburb players and is the definitive source of her power.
In pre-scratch kids session she got exiled on future Earth and took the title Windswept Questant. She appeared in front of a giant egg that fell from the desert sky. She is also the only exile without bandages around her face but rather only has a hood.
Biography[]
As White Queen[]
The Adored Sovereign
The Queen first appeared in Act 4. She was first seen when Parcel Mistress went to her seeking advice on a quest given to her by Jack Noir, who promised to give her the green box if she were to bring him the crowns of the White King and Queen. Realizing the importance of this quest, the Queen forfeited her crown and ring, gave them to Parcel Mistress, and told her to look for the King, who was on The Battlefield.
She later fled from Prospit slightly before Jack Noir attacked it while on a rampage. She arrived on Earth with several Prospitians (including Ms. Paint). The fate of these followers is unknown, since she parts from them to begin her solitary quest.
As Windswept Questant[]
After an unknown amount of time, she reaches the former location of Dave's house, and finds the broken egg base. She uses a spirograph key to repair it and uses it to communicate with Rose as her exile and addresses her in a highly stylized font; their interaction has, however, been short. She encouraged Rose to explore and find Jaspersprite, and later comforted her about her mother’s disappearance. She urged her to consult with the Heir and then bade her farewell to join the other exiles at the Frog Temple, declaring that this would be the last time Rose would hear from her. She left Rose with the advice to find her sprite and realize her purpose.
The Windswept Questant and the Wayward Vagabond.
After she appeared out of the Eggy-Looking Base, the Wayward Vagabond and Aimless Renegade offer her the crown of Can Town. It is possible they recognize her, although just as likely they don't, and are trying to impress her. She, however, refuses, instead coronating the Peregrine Mendicant for completing her mission assigned during their time in the Medium. She has since comforted PM when she had concerns about being the new Monarch. Out of gratitude and/or respect for her knowledge, PM makes the Questant her royal adviser. She has also used her spirograph key to repair the Bec Head Base.
Following this, she advises on a plan
to bring the Sovereign Slayer to justice. While this plan is being enacted, the Questant waits for the Writ Keeper to emerge from the lotus time capsule. However, ten seconds after the Writ Keeper emerges, Jack also emerges from the time capsule and murders them both.
Post-Scratch[]
The White Queen of the post-scratch session does not seem to be afraid to jump into action when she catches Jack Noir in his (second) attempt to murder Jane's dream self. She knocks him out cold with what appears to be the King's Scepter. Her ring has no orbs, matching the amount of Kernel Spires on post-scratch Prospit.
The White Queen is briefly seen when Jack transportalizes a pumpkin containing a guard's severed head directly to her throne room, and is presumably the one to send out more guards to his cell. The last time she is mentioned is when the Draconian Dignitary compliments her tactics on making the Condesce look petty by offering simple requests for Jack Noir's release that she knows she'll refuse. Her further fate is unknown, but since Jack, possessed by Lord English, destroyed all of Prospit, it is likely that this version of the WQ also died.
Personality[]
The White Queen is kind, thoughtful, and patient. She puts an emphasis on free will, demonstrated by her conversations with both PM[citation needed] and with Rose[citation needed]; she has also, however, shown herself to be quite shrewd or even manipulative when circumstances demand it, using dirty political tactics to humiliate the Condesce.
Despite the stark contrast in their personalities, the White Queen acts in many ways as a foil to the Black Queen (particularly Snowman of the trolls' session). Both were forced into exile by Jack Noir and have a patient interest in bringing him to justice, but were both ultimately killed by him. They also both communicate with Seers and Heroes of Light (WQ's Hero being the Seer of Light while Snowman is in charge of both the Seer of Mind and Thief of Light).
