Appearance

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 emotionally dynamic; 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.

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.
