Queen (クィーン) is a job class that hailed originally from the New World. However, other people can be recognized as Queen even without possessing the class.

Background

Queens are the co-sovereign heads of monarchies that rule feudal states of the New World. Nations ruled solely by queens were rare, as typically rulership of a nation would pass to the male, thus a king would be crowned. The patriarchy in such culture were ingrained that nations like the Re-Estize Kingdom where in all its long history would never allow their nation to be ruled by a queen. Though countries like the Dragon Kingdom existed where a queen held sway. And recently the Roble Holy Kingdom, where the previous king broke the tradition where only males inherited the throne and passed the crown to his daughter due to her beauty and divine magic.

Abilities and Powers

Queen were said to command respect. Though a queen of a nation had various duties, as according to Demiurge, queens had to carry the burden in producing a successor for their nation. Four definite qualities of a queen were needed: sociability, problem-solving, cooking and artistry. Queens were expected to have an active role in public relations in international diplomacy and well-verse in social situations to avoid diplomatic incidents with upper-class nobles from other countries. Additionally, the female rulers were required to have flexible minds to solve various crises. Cooking or at least an understanding of a menu's preparation were another aspect to that as it would be necessary to welcome and please foreign dignitaries. And lastly, queens needed to possess a refine sense of decorum.

Trivia

• During Ainz Ooal Gown’s conquest of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Momonga used a spell that created a fairy queen to guide his party safely through the floor.
• Calca was noted to be the first Holy Queen in the history of her nation. Though her ascension to the throne was contested by the nobles of the southern kingdom who alleged that she gained her position due to her close relationship with the temples.
• In Mass for the Dead, Shalltear Bloodfallen and Albedo competed for the mantle of "Queen of Nazarick" but ended in a draw.
• The Queen War is still a contentious issue in Nazarick, one that is mostly discussed in secret to avoid conflict with the two major factions, Shalltear's and Albedo. Though as Pulcinella revealed there are other factions that possess agendas and their own candidates such as Solution Epsilon, Narberal Gamma, Cocytus, Mare Bello Fiore, Aura Bella Fiora, Neuronist Painkill and even a minor one that advocates for an outside marriage with a foreign queen.
