Queen<\/a> was born a slave but grew up free in the city of New Orleans.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen she was twelve, she wanted to make her own money, so went door to door until she found a job working at <\/span>Heather\u2019s Pleasure Boutique<\/span><\/i> in the French Quarter fetching food, drink and cigars for the clients until Heather\u2019s Mate, Evy heard her sing. That began her new career entertaining the guests as they waited for the girls. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHeather gave her an education and opportunities. She attended the first co-ed college for black people in New Orleans where she obtained degrees in Business and Music. Though she wanted more than to \u2018work\u2019 for Heather, she found a niche at the Boutique. After college, she began working in some of the other \u2018coffee houses\u2019 in New Orleans, becoming one of the wealthiest black women in the city. She owned a house in New Orleans, a plantation in Larose, was a Chosen One for Sylum Clan, and often gathered information for Nico and Warrick to help them keep ahead of the happenings in New Orleans. She provided safe houses for those not wanting to be seen, entertained Assassins, provided a home for Riddick\u2019s Twins, and was exhausted.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen she started coughing, Heather quickly became concerned. She contacted Claire Barton, who took care of most of the girls, when she lived in the area. She informed Queen she had what looked to be the beginning stages of Tuberculosis.<\/span><\/p>\nHeather Turned her under watchful eye of Claire Barton, and when she woke after her Transformation, she discovered a talent for communing with the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Sylum: Member Queen was born a slave but grew up free in the city of New Orleans.
