The Turtle Queen is a Bugge and Urban Legend.

Personality

She's been described as being like a forest fire that feeds on words, imageries and ideas.<ref>“Basil-” Bridge started. He looked like he didn’t want to interrupt. He didn’t sound like Basil at all, even if he had Basil’s voice. “He described you as being akin to a forest fire, but you don’t burn, consume, and grow by wood, leaf, and oxygen, you burn through word, graphics, and ideas.”- Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.z</ref> She's constantly hungry for attention, this is partially out of instinct and partially out of fear.<ref>“If you spread your influence too much you draw attention. If you draw attention you draw enemies,” Rook told her.

“I like the attention part.”

“Some of the reaching out is instinct. That can be suppressed and managed. We all suppress our instincts every day. Some of it is your fear. Extending your influence sustains you. I want to put you into a position where you don’t need to worry about being extinguished if you can’t grow.”- Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.z</ref>

Relationships

She was captured by Basil Winters and his mother Opal Winters.

She helped fight Milly Legendre, enabling Bridge to take her over.

She took over the Typetap Kitty.<ref>Basil was gone. Cats weren’t especially loyal, but the Typetap Kitty might have done something to help, regardless. But it had been touched by the gold light from the greater Bugge, the Turtle Queen, and she extended herself through it, by way of a tortoiseshell pattern on fur and gold tint to eyes.- Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.z</ref>

Appearance

She is associated with gold jewellery and the colours green, black and gold.<ref>While the images themselves differ in terms of subject, the composition, jewelry and colors of black, green, and gold are nearly identical.- Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.z</ref>

Abilities

She's able to take control of an area and all the people in it, causing her motifs to appear.<ref>The Turtle Queen moves rapidly between her marks, extending influence. She is no puppeteer, but can inject herself into the environment, causing her motifs and traits to boil forth. It costs her power, but if she makes the right investments, she gains more than she lost.- Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.z</ref> She can also occupy people and use them as hosts.<ref>A body that she can invade and take over when she needs to do more tangible, tactile things, or if she needs to interact directly with people without doing the psychological equivalent of melting their faces off. The model of the photograph is another common host, and she moves between the two as she prepares.- Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.z</ref>

Chronology

She was created when a student draws a mural on a wall, whilst another student made some iron on t-shirts and a photographer captures a photo of a model wearing jewellery. All images looked similar and involved gold jewellery and a green turtle patterns. These motifs draw enough attention that the Turtle Queen formed out of them.<ref name=":0">- from Left in the Dust 16.z</ref> Next a guidance councillor slaps a student, the event is recorded and shared online and in the local news, the mural is caught in the background of the video. Afterwards children begin painting imagery of the Turtle Queen.<ref name=":0" />

Two teenagers are annoying people by setting off fireworks, the Turtle Queen approaches and slaps them doing enough damage that the police and ambulance service are called. Afterwards her influence spreads, graffiti appears bearing her image, vigilantes start beating up miscreants. Students eventually break into the house of the women that was slapped by the guidance councillor, beating her till she's unrecognisable, the Turtle Queen eventually appears and kills her.<ref name=":0" />

As she begins to spread her influence even further practitioners start noticing, Basil and Opal Winters scramble to stop her. The Turtle Queen attempts to escape using an online website offering free clothing but is bound before finishing it.<ref name=":0" />

She was freed by Bridge and Crooked Rook and helped them take over a large group of Musser's allies.

When Kennet was attacked by Musser and his associates she helped defend the town, her ability to take people over exerted a constant pressure on the invaders. This lead to her killing Jorge Hund.<ref>So was Jorge Hund’s, head twisted around, wood splintering where it had been pinched and turned in the fall. Neck broken by a slap.- Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.y</ref>== References ==
