Marquess

"All little girls are terrible,' He admitted finally, 'but the Marquess, at least, has a very fine hat"The Marquess is the former Ruler of Fairyland. She was greatly feared, and a tyrannical dictator, suppressing all of Fairyland out of vengeance.

Description
When asked if the Marquess is terrible, the Green Wind says that "all little girls are terrible", and describes her as having a very fine hat.

Early Life
She was formerly known under the name Mallow, and had previously ruled Fairyland as Good Queen Mallow. However, she was sent back to the human world and her father’s abuse, much to her dismay and anger.

Ruling as the Marquess
She managed to return by force, brought back with assistance from Lye, who turned her clock back by several minutes, and decided to punish all of Fairyland for her unfair treatment. This included bringing the human world to Fairyland, resulting in the fairies getting their wings chained, the introduction of the Greenlist, the dredging of the Barleybroom, factory work for the Nasnas, the Changeling Orchestra, and the banning of anything relating to Queen Mallow, such as the song Ode to Queen Mallow's Third Fingernail, unfortunately performed by the Changeling Orchestra. The Green Wind tells September that if she breaks any of the rules of Fairyland, she may be ticketed or executed, depending on the Marquess's mood.

She also attempted to separate the Gears of the World, which connected Fairyland to the human world, in an attempt to keep her from going back, but was foiled when September refused to co-operate.

Family
She was the daughter of a tomato farmer and a seamstress. Her mother died when she was eight years old, and she had a bad relationship with her father, who often spent what little money they had on alcohol.

Later, when in Fairyland and under the name Mallow, she had a son with Mr. Map named Prince Myrrh.
