In terms of looking back in time on paper and reading up on their storylines on a Wiki page and figuring out where their backstory (that nobody but the super HHN nerds know) could go in the future? Sure.Hot Take: The Storyteller is a significantly better icon than the Queen despite her origins. As a familiar-but-twisted archetype she fits in much better with the other icons then the over-designed dark-fantasy Queen. Her vague backstory is an advantage (as it is with the other icons) because she can be used in a wider variety of situations and her “lore” can be adapted to fit the needs of new events, something the overly-specific concept of the Queen makes more difficult.
In terms of being at the event, seeing the Terraqueen show, seeing her minions, motorcycles in the zones, and the vine/root logos and sineage? NO WAY.
I think if you were able to poll people at the event that year, like me, 99.9% would say the Queen was a million times better.
