Orphaned at age five by the death of an ill mother she cannot remember, Queenie has never known more than a life of hardship. Her older sister, Cat, did whatever needed to be done to keep the both of them off the streets, jumping from brothel to brothel to keep a roof over their heads. Queenie didn’t argue when she became old enough to sell her own body, but she and Cat have been plying their trade for a decade at The Gun, and the pull of the associated Black Powder Gang has been stronger than Cat’s warnings. In addition to her brothel work, she acts as a courier now for Rosie Wilkes, earning a reputation but no coin, and has grand ambitions to pull herself and her sister out of prostitution forever.
