Her birth name is Mirana. She is stated to be the rightful ruler of Wonderland, but her eldest sister Iracebeth, the Red Queen, usurped and claimed the crown as her own. There is no White King, as the White Queen is unmarried and rules alone. Mirana makes very strange potions with strange (sometimes macabre) ingredients that have reality-bending effects on the drinker. She is able to complete the potion that allows Alice to shrink by spewing in her own "Wishful Thinking" for the final installment of the needed ingredient.

When she moves, she does so gracefully, giving the illusion that she is perpetually dancing. She was at Witzend village when the Jabberwocky burned it down as a young adult. She was led out of the village, but lost her crown out of confusion. Once, while trying to help the Mad Hatter while he’s sick, went to Time’s castle. While she was there, however, her sister was turned to rust. She was able to escape, but eventually also rusted. Alice did save her in the end, and this has left her fearful of both rust and Time’s castle. She also noted that in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" and counseled Alice to practice the same skill.
