Q-Bee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Queen Bee, a.k.a. Q-Bee (although this is a title rather than a name), is a video game character from the Darkstalkers fighting game series. She is a bee-based monster called a "Soul Bee," born in Makai in an unknown year. Q-Bee and her race lived in the lands of the Dohma family. But during the time when Jedah was dead, her home began to crumble and her race was about to die. She headed toward the Majigen, which Jedah created after his resurrection, to gather souls to satisfy the hunger of the Soul Bees, as well as her own.

[edit] The Soul Bee race

• In a one family of a Soul Bee race, roughly 50~150 bees live in a single hive, with the leader of the family being called Q-Bee. "Q-Bee" is a title instead of a name. The others are either called "P-Bee" or just "Bee".

• A Q-Bee works to raise the next leader of the family. Out of the baby Bees born, certain Bees are born with a 'honey capsule', which is an organ that is used to concentrate and accumulate nutrition. This Bee is raised to become the next Q-Bee.

• Within P-Bees there are male and female (the ratio is roughly 2:8). Their physical appearance is almost identical, with the male being slightly smaller. The male exists only to help reproduce. A male's regeneration ability is very weak compared to a female and, because the current Soul Bee race has a very strong self-reproduction and regeneration system, it is possible to give birth to new Soul Bees without the help of a male. In the near future, the male Soul Bees will most likely disappear.

• Their sense of touch can catch the smell of food; it's range is said to reach several hundred kilometers

• The intelligence level of an average P-Bee is equal to a human baby around 4~5 years old. They can have simple conversations as well.

• Their appetite is the most important aspect of their behavior. To them, everything that moves (besides themselves) is food that is meant to be caught. Their digestive ability is incredible and their stomach is rarely upset from eating bad food. Because their metabolism is incredibly high, they will soon die if they don't eat something. Often Soul Bees die if they do not eat for 36 hours.

• The attack names of the Q-Bee were taken from "Makai Evil Insect book", written by Varvle Mattlayer. The names were re-written in the nearest sounds to the human language.

[edit] Trivia

• Q-Bee is 1250mm long and weighs 38200g(84 lbs.).
• Q-Bee may look human or display humanoid-type features, but this is only deception as from her real personage. One characteristic most would not recognize are the placement of her eyes. They appear to be set on her face as human-shaped eyes, but this is only for show. The large ocular orbs on her head are her actual eyes, and this would be apparent if one would note her fighting style and posture. You can think of her as a bee incognito in a semi-partial (mostly) human physique (body).
• The voice of Q-Bee is voice actor Miyuki Matsushita. Primarily, she makes many 'buzzing' or bee-sounds but she does, indeed, have a voice.
