Queen Sootsleeves is a Lost that Avery and Verona freed.
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.”- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref>
Relationships
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?”- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref>
Appearance
She wears a crown made from silverware and a gown made from rags.<ref name=":0">The woman astride the horse looked like a queen, but the particulars were all shabby and improvised. A crown of silverware, a complicated raiment and gown in what Verona presumed were bright colors- made of rags and trash.
She still held a torch. She still carried a spear with a tattered banner attached to it. For all that she was dressed in garbage and things, the look on her face was intense.- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref>
Her subjects include rats, children and beggars. Many of them carry standards, torches and have soot stains on them.<ref>They came through the two doors into the room. Mice and rats carrying flags. Children in rags. Men and women with heavy bandages, smelling of something herbal that did a bad job of covering up the smell of flesh that seemed to be rotting alive. Many carried torches. Most were smudged black, like they’d been playing in a pile of coal.- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref>
Abilities
She was born owning a torch, steed and kingdom and cannot be separated from them.<ref>I’m the poorest Queen of all, but I was given three things when I was born.”
“A torch,” Avery said.
“Fire in hand and breast.”
“A kingdom,” Avery said.
“Loyal to the last, despite my failings and lack of wealth.”
“And your steed.”
“Unfaltering.” The woman stroked the steering wheel, then stomped on the gas. She peeled out in the contained room, turned the wheel hard, and turned the car around. To face the window. “Would you be so kind as to remove the lines in the way?”
“Of the window?- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref>
She owns a torch and steed as well as a spear with a banner attached to it.<ref name=":0" /> She later managed to turn her horse into a motor car.<ref>The Queen sat within a fancy old car. Her subjects were still rats, but the children were now dressed in modern rags, at least. Sootsleeves herself was meant to look dirty and shabby, but it really looked like hipster chic with a hipster car, scratched sunglasses included.- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.5</ref>
Chronology
After being released she left the abandoned building she was in via the window. She told Verona and Avery that Thea was kidnapping children.
