![]() Opponents do not have to be physically in the region with the Queen, they just have to play with that region's rules. If she goes to the desired region the player will be able to spread All to anyone who plays with Galbadian rules. The player can challenge the Queen of Cards, accept a game with All, then purposely lose a rare card to send her to another region, say Galbadia. This allows for somewhat sophisticated rule manipulation. Additionally, playing in a region has a chance to spread that region's rule to one other region, so playing in Balamb will have a chance of spreading Direct to Galbadia, or Fishermans Horizon, etc. For example, if the Queen is in Balamb, last selected Direct, and the rule degraded to Diff or One, playing again in Balamb will eventually reassert Direct there. Playing anyone in a region where the Queen is has a chance of asserting her rule. Every time the player challenges someone there's a chance of a random region's rule becoming One, so these changes are not permanent. It is not necessary to play her, as simply challenging her and then quitting at the rule screen works. ![]() Each time she is played, one of the four trading rules (One, Diff, Direct, or All) is selected and the most recent trading rule used in a game with her may spread. The Queen of Cards is the only one who can influence the trading rules. Often the player has excess money as salary is paid at regular intervals and weapons and items are fairly cheap. The party can't introduce any new rules to the region, but a rule there will be abolished after a few games if the abolished rule was not the desired one, the party can then pay the queen 30,000 gil to get it back and play her again, and a rule will be abolished again after a few games. Getting the Queen of Cards to the Lunar Gate can make abolishing a specific rule there easier before going to the Lunar Base, which has two rare cards but tough default rules. She will also offer to combine rules, like any other Triple Triad player. The Queen offers to pass on a new rule to a region for the price of 30,000 gil.

Though she has a son, she doesn't spend much time in her home town where he is being cared for by the Queen's father. She exudes an aura of refinement, but the person behind the "queen" persona is enigmatic not even her real name is known. Whenever the Queen speaks she gestures broadly, and is never seen walking. The Queen positions herself in areas high in foot traffic, but doesn't approach aspirant card fanatics-they approach her. The Queen shares her character model with the actress from Laguna's dream sequence who plays the role of a sorceress, while Laguna plays her knight, Zefer. She wears a floor-length white dress with a loose red bolero shirt with gold and green trims over it. The Queen of Cards has brunette hair and blue eyes, and a blue jewel adornment over her forehead. ![]() Laguna acting as the knight of a sorceress.
