“ | Just a while longer... before this wretched planet learns the meaning of terror! | „ |
~ Cordelia upon receiving the seventh Disaster Stone. |
Queen Cordelia is the secondary antagonist of the web comic, Cucumber Quest, and the self-proclaimed queen of Dreamside, who is often seen with the witch Peridot. She usurped the throne of Caketown Castle, and succeeded in resurrecting the Nightmare Knight by obtaining all eight of the legendary Disaster Stones.
To most people, Cordelia is cold, greedy, scheming, manipulative, egotistical, and ruthless, the very picture of the evil queen. She is bossy but not arrogant, as seen when the Nightmare Knight warns her not to treat him as one of her underlings. However, to Peridot, she has a much closer relationship, and the two are good friends despite their differences in age, status, and what world they were born on.
As explained by both Lord Cabbage and Sir Carrot, Cordelia stormed Caketown Castle with Peridot and quickly dispatched King Croissant by turning him to stone.
She proceeded to kick out all knights who were still loyal to the royal family, most notably Carrot, but allowed the BLT Trio to remain and work under her.
She also spared Princess Parfait and Cabbage, probably because she didn't think they'd be able to do much to stop her.
