Hi. This is Thesecret1070. I am an admin of this site. Edit as much as you wish, but one little thing... If you are going to edit a lot, then make yourself a user and login. Other than that, enjoy Villains Wiki!!!
She is the tyrannical, oppressive, wrathful and deranged ruler of Wonderland who insists that all ways in her kingdom are her ways. Whenever someone royally ticks her off, she'll mercilessly punish them, even through beheading (her signature tactic). She's also the wife of the King of Hearts, and the titular Alice's arch-nemesis.
She was voiced by the late Verna Felton in the original film. The Queen was later voiced by Tress MacNeille, who has also voiced other villains such as Carol Miller (also known as Mom) in Futurama, the Perfectionist in the Courage the Cowardly Dog series, and Agnes Skinner in The Simpsons, and currently by April Winchell, who also played Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians: The Series, Ma Duskerton in Gravity Falls, Clarabelle Cow in Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, Black Heron in the Reboot of DuckTales and Hypnotheria in Teamo Supremo.
The Queen of Hearts is an obese woman with fair skin and black hair. She wears a gold crown and earrings, a red headband, and a black and red gown with black and yellow stripes at the bottom.

Alice: But I've never met any queen. Cheshire Cat: You haven't? You haven't?! Oh, but you must! She'll be mad about you! Simply mad! Ahahaha!
„
~ Cheshire Cat hoping Alice will encounter the Queen.
The Queen of Hearts is a very sociopathic, destructive, irrational, and sadistic person with an incredibly short temper. All of the residents of Wonderland are extremely mad and insane in some way, but the Queen of Hearts is the most dangerous of them all, due to her position as ruler of the land. The Queen is also shown to be controlling, as she completely (or at least mostly) dominates her weak husband and all her subjects live in fear of her. She is also shown to be a very arrogant, egotistical, and manipulative ruler, as she likes to hear the words "Yes, Your Majesty" and insists that "All ways are my (her) ways!" before persuading people to follow her standards.
The Queen of Hearts is also shown to be a very childish woman, even in the face of Alice, an actual child. She is an incredibly immature, impatient, argumentative, domineering, oppressive, and sensitive individual, prone to temper tantrums, and, as stated above, rather egotistical. Her insanity is often manifested in huge mood swings, from being decently content to enraged at a moment's notice. Her immediate solution to every problem is beheading, whether white roses are planted by accident, the same roses being painted red, she misses a shot in croquet, or feels insulted in any way.
While her flippancy in declaring death penalties is the strongest display of her disregard for life, it is shown that even her preferred recreations involve cruelty: her croquet games utilise living beings for every "object" of the game. Her version of croquet also indicates both pettiness and possibly delusional perspectives, as every "object" in the game has to move in order to ensure the Queen's victory; for contrast, an opponent, seen in Alice, has the "objects" distort every chance she has at success, thereby causing her to lose; despite the blatancy of the game being rigged, the Queen acts as if she had truly won each time. If an "object," such as one of her card guards, fails to ensure the Queen's winning, they are sentenced to death.
Though she clearly overpowers her husband, the King of Hearts, he appears to be the only resident in Wonderland to have any affect on her actions and opinions, to the point where he can cease (or at least, delay) a beheading, as seen a few times throughout the film. With these facts, it can be concluded that the King is the only resident for whom the Queen is confirmed to genuinely care about, interestingly. However, she does use him as a human shield when Alice turns into a giant out of fear of danger and the king himself generally fears her to the point of passing the hammer on to someone else when accidentally hitting her on the head with it and she's about to lose her temper, indicating that it may not hold so well.
Powers and Abilities[]
As the ruler of Wonderland, the queen has absolute authority over everyone in it. If she were to order someone executed, the order will be carried out regardless of how small the offense was. But it seems that the king has some power next to her, as he was able to convince her to host a "fair" trial for Alice pending her fate.
Alice in Wonderland[]

~ Queen of Hearts meeting Alice.
In the film, the Queen appeared (as Alice puts it) to be a "fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant". Her presence is all of the more striking because of how tiny her husband (whose life she still dominates just like she does in the book) is made to look in comparison to her.
Similar to the book, Alice meets three cards painting the roses red, since they planted white roses by mistake. When the Queen arrives, she orders those three cards beheaded, then challenges Alice to a game of croquet. The game is eventually spoiled by the Cheshire Cat. The Queen blames Alice for it, but before she can give the order, the King suggests holding a trial for Alice. The Queen grudgingly agrees.
The Queen calls the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse to witness, who hold an unbirthday party for her. During the party, the Cheshire Cat reappears and upsets the Dormouse. The Cheshire Cat runs everywhere, and in an attempt to crush the mouse, the King of Hearts accidentally hits the Queen with the gavel.
Of course, the Queen blames Alice for it, and is going to have her beheaded. However, Alice eats mushrooms that she had procured earlier, which make her grow much bigger. Although Rule #42 says that anyone more than a mile high must leave the court immediately, Alice feels free to reprimand the Queen and called her a "fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant"; unfortunately, she subsequently shrinks down to her normal size (having eaten the small mushroom as well). Realizing that she has the upper hand, the Queen eagerly urges Alice to tell her what she was saying. The Cheshire Cat repeats what Alice called her (a "fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant") and the Queen finally orders her beheaded, but Alice flees.
The furious Queen, King, Card Soldiers, and the other residents of Wonderland then chase after Alice out of her subconscious mind, but she gets away and they are later erased from existence for good after the entire sequence is supposedly revealed to be a dream.
Other Appearances[]

The Queen appeared as a recurring guest in House of Mouse and one of the villains who aid Jafar in taking over in Mickey's House of Villains. In the film, when Jafar is defeated, she flees out of the House with the rest of the villains.

~ Queen of Hearts in Kingdom Hearts.
The Queen of Hearts in Kingdom Hearts.
In Kingdom Hearts, Alice is put on trial for stealing the Queen's heart. Sora, Goofy, and Donald arrive, and they offer to find out the real thief. They gather a bunch of evidence, but the Queen disregards the evidence and has her army of playing cards attack them. After they defeat the cards, Alice is taken away by Riku because she is a Princess of Heart.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories[]
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the Queen accuses Alice of stealing her memory. Sora, Goofy, and Donald arrive, and Sora insist that Alice did not do it. When the Queen demands to know who did it, Sora says he did it in order to take the blame away from Alice. Thus, the playing cards attacks him but he defeats them. Later, a Heartless arrives, and the heroes defeat it. Alice takes advantage of the Queen's amnesia to say the reason why Sora, Goofy, and Donald are there is because she called them to defeat the Heartless, who stole her memory. Not wanting to ruin her dignity, the Queen agrees with this and leaves.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[]
The Queen of Hearts appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days as well This time, she sends her Card Soldiers looking for three Heartless that startled her. The Card Soldiers then come back without finding the three Heartless then, she gets so furious and aggressive. On another visit to Wonderland, it shows that the Queen of Hearts is still looking for the Heartless from the last visit, still being unable to find them.
Kingdom Hearts: coded[]
The Queen appears in this game during the third episode, and it seems that her memories were stolen again. Though this time, it was because of the Bug Blox corrupting Wonderland. When Sora tries to explain the problem, however, the Queen of Hearts thinks that Sora used an army of special insects to steal her memories along with Alice's. Luckily, Sora manages to find the source of the dishonest corruption known as the Trickmaster and destroy it, allowing the Queen to regain her memories. However, as she is about to sentence Sora unfairly again, Alice helps him trick the Queen into believing they had been sent on a mission by her to recover her memories. Too stubborn to admit that she was wrong, the Queen fell for the lie and allowed them to leave with their heads.
The Queen of Hearts commonly appears in Disney Parks around the world, mostly in the Disney Villains brand of merchandise.
A "meet-and-greet" character at Disneyland Resort and Tokyo Disneyland Resort, she is also an audio-animatronic in the Alice in Wonderland "dark ride" and sometimes joins in the Mad Hatter's musical chairs game (both in the former).
