Editing Queen Sootsleeves (section)

==Personality==
Sootsleeves is a bad tactician and has never managed to win a war in the paths, her soldiers are weak and cowardly.<ref>“Sootsleeves never won a war in her crusade across the Dreaming.  Her soldiers are cowards and weaklings,” Avery murmured.  “And she’s not a good tactician.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/13 Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.5]]</ref>

She loves her kingdom despite its endemic poverty, constant hunger, and rampant disease,<ref>“It is the reality for myself and my people that we must be the poorest kingdom.  We exist on the verge of starvation, we struggle, our sick are among the sickest, but my love for them is unbounded and their loyalty to me firm.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/20 Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.7]]</ref> and was proud of the Run-Down Kingdom [[The Paths|Path]].
===Relationships===
====[[Kennet Trio]]====
Avery and Verona released her and in return, she agreed to do three tasks for them.<ref>“Then I’m with her, it seems,” Queen Sootsleeves said.  “Three, I’m to follow your laws and lend you assistance?” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/13 Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.5]]</ref> Her relationship was good enough to give Avery a little tassel cloth to help her navigate the Paths.<ref>“Ready!?” Sootsleeves called out.<br><br>“Not especially!” Avery shouted.<br><br>“It’s a rare person who is truly ready for the Falling Oak Avenue.  Here.”<br><br>Sootsleeves steered with her knee pressed against the bottom of the steering wheel, while she reached over, tying a scrap of cloth around Avery’s wrist, where it joined friendship bracelet, barometer, black rope, charm bracelets, and her wooden spy-detection bracelet.  The cloth was tattered, with burns at the edges, and it had a warm, deep gray color.  The parts that weren’t burnt were very soft.<br><br>“What’s this?”<br><br>“It should earn you a bit of status in the Commons.”<br><br>“Thank you.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/03/06 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.10]]</ref>
====Kingdom====
Her kingdom is essentially her so it's hard to tell where individual members end and she beings. It seems, given the example of [[Squiring & Servantry Squared Away]] they're largely independent but have to obey orders from her. It gives her a large amount of [[Claim]] over them which can be used to protect them.<ref> - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/02/19 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.a]]</ref>

It's a large part of what makes her formidable, given her large amount of man- and animal-power.
====Finders====
Avery and Jude suspect that the Garricks were more than willing to bind and forget about her on a shelf as a result of the kith and kin killed in her kingdom, inadvertently and otherwise.<ref>Avery really wanted to ask what logic had led to them keeping Queen Sootsleeves on what Jude had said was the back shelf of the main house, rarely summoned or unbound, but that wasn’t the focus right now.  Her suspicion and Jude’s was that Jude’s grandfather and older relatives had known too many people who’d met bad ends in the Run Down Kingdom and resentment had led to her being shelved for long enough she’d mostly been forgotten. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/02/12 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.6]]</ref>
===Reputation===
She is still known on the Paths by Lost such as [[Miss]] and others.
