Background
The daughter of a rancher, Queenie Fox, grew up in the town of Death Butte. Queenie made her living as a saloon girl in one of the tourist bars, supplementing her income with trick shooting and horsemanship tricks at local western shows. Her life changed when oil was discovered on her father's property. Hank Knight, a local senator and corrupt businessman, took interest in the land and bought it (and several nearby properties) out from under her family and neighbors. Queenie gathered a group of angered locals and murdered the senator. His disappearance caught the attention of local law enforcement. While her first kill was done out of revenge (and maybe vigilante justice), she realized she was good at killing. She and her gang operated in the south west until the gang was stopped by "Pin-up" Pete Sparling and incarcerated in Bonne Nuit State Penitentiary. She regularly goes on missions for Project Second Chance and has gained a grudging respect for Pete and Warden Ashton Barriere.
