BIO

Billie and her elder twin sister, Tillie, are the daughters of Queen Yolanda of The Plum Fairy Tribe. Since birth, both girls were raised in preparation of taking their mother's throne once they reached an appropriate age and earned her approval. Growing up in privilege, both girls always received the utmost respect from their fellow fairies among their tribe. However, Billie, the darker skinned sister, was not as popular as her light-skinned sister, Tillie, who was more favored by the people; mainly because the fairy tribe folk found Billie intimidating in appearance especially as she grew older. Tillie looked as sweet as strawberry cheesecake and dressed in bright colors in contrast to Billie who wore gothic fashion. Little did the other fairies know that Tillie looked down on them, awaiting the day she took over her mother's throne to make them do as she commanded without resistance. Billie, on the other hand, loved her fellow fairy people despite knowing how some of them felt about her. Billie remembered a quote she read in a book written by a human, "never judge a book by its cover" and made it her personal mission to prove that one's appearance didn’t dictate their overall being. Billie continued dressing in goth and grunge fashion while heeding her mother's lessons in preparation for becoming Queen. 

Many years passed and Billie and her sister reached early adulthood. Mayland went through a lot of crises during that time, especially the biggest one, the Five Year War, which was started by the evil God Akodomal who wanted to wipe all life in the Mortal Realm from existence. Fortunately, Queen Yolanda protected her people by strategically sending her battle fairies to defend her Queendom and aligning herself with powerful allies to preserve her people's safety. Having been a Queen for over 3,000 years, Yolanda was finally ready to hand over her crown to one of her daughters. Tradition dictated that the elder child received the crown. However, while Yolanda loved both her daughters very much, she knew that Tillie was ultimately unfit to succeed her because of her elder daughter's vain and haughty personality. Whereas Billie, certainly no pushover, possessed the needed qualities of a good and fair ruler. Yolanda announced her retirement and let her people know that she chose Billie to become the next Queen. Naturally, Tillie was furious since she had big plans on becoming the next ruler of The Plum Fairy Tribe. 

Enraged by her mother's decision and her anger towards Billie reaching a fever pitch, Tillie, alongside a few of the fairies loyal to only her, began plotting to assassinate Billie the day of her coronation. Tillie contracted a pair of siblings who were guns-for/hire named Maxine and August Starfinder. Upon meeting the hired guns, a romantic connection between Tillie and Maxine developed. The day of Billie's coronation arrived and she was only hours away from becoming the newly crowned Queen. Upon seeing their target, Maxine felt nothing for Billie and was ready to off her. However, when August first laid eyes on the beautiful dark-skinned fairy, the gunman felt conflicting emotions, which ultimately led to him deciding that they could not go through with assassinating Billie. Even if that put him at odds with his elder sister. 

Moments before Billie was to be crowned Queen, a man dressed like a cowboy jumped in front of her. Two bullets that were intended for her ended up striking him. Billie learned that this man was none other than August Starfinder, one of the two gunmen hired by her envious sister to assassinate her. The gun was fired by August's elder sister, Maxine. August laid on the ground slowly bleeding out. Billie quickly acted by demanding her coronation be put on hold while she aided August, who was slowly dying. Tillie was nowhere to be found. Billie believed her sister must have run away with Maxine, knowing that she would no longer be welcome among her people after scheming to have her sister killed.

Billie used her blood to save August's life. With fairy blood running through his veins, it not only accelerated his healing but gave him fairy-based abilities. After learning the truth behind her would-be assassination from August, her fellow fairies wanted to turn August over to the local authorities. However, Billie decided to show the man mercy and made him promise to change his ways. August took heed and vowed to no longer use his gifts for mischief. Shortly afterward, Billie became the official Queen of her people. She did her best to be a wonderful ruler. Someday she will have a child of her own to rule in her place.

TRIVIA

1. Billie was inspired by the Yu-Gi-Oh monster "Mystical Elf".

2. Billie also takes inspiration from the dark-skinned Black beauty, which is often severely undermined in everyday society.

3. Billie and Tillie are twins with Billie being dark-skinned and Tillie light-skinned. While colorism does not exist on Earth 135 where Billie and her sister are from in a traditional sense, Billie was always viewed as "mean" and "intimidating" by her fellow fairies while Tillie was seen as "sweet" and "welcoming" because of her much lighter complexion. However, it's Billie who has the more welcoming personality while Tillie only cares about herself and what others can do for her.

4. Billie also takes inspiration from goth and grunge aesthetics.

5. Billie first met Othello while attending a heavy metal concert in Rogue Town. Despite Othello not having many female friends, both women hit it off quite well and have been very social friends since. They message one another on Pictagram at least twice a week.

6. While Billie is a fairy first and foremost, ethnicity-wise she, her mother, sister, and fellow fairies would be viewed as Afro-Latinos.

7. Although Billie mainly listens to heavy metal and rock music, she is a fan of the half-human/half-fairy pop star, Trickie Mirage.
