Design
The Queen of Hearts is a large woman dressed in regal attire and is usually seen carrying a small wand with a red heart on the tip. The Queen's collar is white and very tall, reaching her ears. Her gown has white lining (rather like the border of a playing card), with the rest of it being colored red and black. The left half of her dress has a short, black sleeve with a red cuff, a red abdomen, with everything below that being black. The right side is identical, but with inverted colors; a red sleeve, black cuff, black abdomen, and red lower half. She also wears a second dress or skirt with a similar split design, the left side being an alternating thick black line, thin yellow line pattern, while the right side is identical, but with inversed colors. The right side of this second skirt is actually a darker shade of yellow than the left, appearing more gold. The Queen of Hearts also has a round nose, gold earrings, and a small gold crown on her head. Her hair is black and tied into a tight bun on the back of her head with a red ribbon, though a few loose bangs dangle in front of her forehead.

Personality
The Queen of Hearts is a foul-tempered monarch who is very quick to make snap judgements at the slightest offense. She is very demanding of her subjects and even more so of her soldiers. The Queen of Hearts is prone to mood swings; she is happy and playful one moment, then rude and annoyed the next. However, she does display an unexpected level of competency, as well as some awareness of otherworldly affairs, when she decided that dealing with the Heartless threat was much more important than continuing Alice's trial after the Final Keyhole was unlocked.

The Queen lacks self-awareness of her tyrannical behavior, as she denies that she rules through fear. She also is an egomaniac who believes everything belongs to her, even the Heartless prowling Wonderland.

Origin
The Queen of Hearts first appeared in Disney's ' which was based on the book by called  '. In the film, the Queen of Hearts arrives at the hedge maze to discover that a trio of her card soldiers planted white roses in her garden instead of red roses. After ordering their execution for their mistake, she challenges Alice to a game of croquet. Throughout the game, the Cheshire Cat appears to Alice and plays a trick on the Queen. Unaware that it was the Cheshire Cat's doing, she blames Alice for the prank and holds (begrudgingly, on the King's behest) a trial. The nonsensical trial quickly descends into chaos, once again due to the Cheshire Cat's mischief, and the Queen prepares to behead Alice. Alice insults the Queen and flees, prompting the Queen and the other Wonderland's inhabitants to chase after her. Like the other characters, the Queen ceases to exist as the events in Wonderland have occurred in Alice's dream.
