Queen (Type-0)

Queen (クイーン) is a playable character in Final Fantasy Type-0. She represents the number 12 of Class Zero and wields a sword.

Appearance and Personality
Queen is a young woman with long black hair with her bangs clipped back with a green barrette and trademark glasses. As her name implies, she has a dignified position among her comrades due to her intelligence and strong sense of justice. She is often seen immersing herself in books, and is also very attentive during Kurasame's class, being one of the few students to have a proper study posture.

She has a practical, realistic and logical personality and is known for saying cruel things to her classmates. But in actuality, Queen does so in favor of her classmates; being one of the older students in the class, she constantly looks out for her classmates and cares deeply for them as a sister figure to the class. Her leader-like mannerisms and behavior have often caused others to tease her with the nickname "Class President".

She is only girl in Class Zero to wear plain, white panties.

Story
Queen is a young woman who is a member of Class Zero, a group of students from the Peristylium Suzaku, the Magic Academy of the nation of Rubrum, that fight the invasion of Rubrum by the Milites Empire. As part of the resistance operation "Operation Apostle", she and her comrades seek to become the Agito, a messiah prophesied in ancient mythology to appear at the time of Finis, an apocalyptic calamity.

When Milites begins its attack on Rubrum, Queen finds Ace with a dying Izana, consoling the young man while telling him not to heal Izana as the man is beyond any recovery and he needs to reserve his strength for the group of Milites soldiers she predicts will arrive shortly. But in contradiction to her inaction at the time, when she later stands up to Machina for thinking they willingly left his brother to die while chiding him for acting like a hero, Queen reveals that she had remorse for Izana and that she would have saved him if he had suffered only minor injuries.

As she and her classmates are on the verge of death, Queen consoles a sobbing Cinque when she starts to break down in her fear of death.

In the alternate ending caused by Arecia removing the crystals from Orience's history, Queen survives and is able to act more easygoing and relaxed as she forms a friendship with Cinque and Deuce. The trio were seen in their summer outfits, returning from a game of lacrosse while engaging in a conversation. Queen mentions how she saw Ace with Mutsuki, and the three gossip about a possible romance between the two as they pass King, Trey, and Jack.

In Battle
Queen wields a sword in battle and has great movement speed. Her regular attack is a combination of slashes and lunges that finishes with a jumping attack. All in all, Queen is perhaps the most balanced character among the party. While boasting an above average strength, she doesn't exactly excel in any area. She is very flexible in that she is able to adapt to any role in order to better assist her teammates. As such, she is suitable for beginners to pick up.

Equipment
Queen's exclusive accessory is the Janus' Glasses (ヤヌスの眼鏡), which guards against Burn, Freeze, and Shock, and activates a special mode for her if she is killed during a mission. When Queen is revived, a black aura surrounds her and her fighting style becomes akin to that of a berserker, dashing around the field and dealing high damage. However, she is under Kill Site status, and risks being killed at any point.
