My Favourite TV Characters.

CHARACTER: Queenie

PLAYED BY: Gabourey Sidibe

SHOW: American Horror Story (2011 - )

Queenie is a powerful witch with a unique and dangerous dual-heritage, as a descendant of Tituba, a witch from the Salem Trials as well as possessing voodoo abilities. Queenie is intelligent, confident, assertive and protective of her sister witches. She is one of the more powerful witches, mastering five of the Seven Wonders as well as her main ability of Injury Transference aka Human Voodoo Doll.

Played by the incredibly talented Gabourey Sidibe, I believe Queenie was such a good character that she appeared in three seasons of American Horror Story.

TITUBA // ONE OF THE FIRST WOMEN ACCUSED OF WITCHCRAFT IN SALEM

“She was an enslaved Native American woman who was one of the first to be accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials of 1692–1693. She was enslaved by Samuel Parris, the minister of Salem Village, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. She was pivotal in the trials because she confessed to witchcraft when examined by the authorities, giving credence to the accusations. She accused two other women, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne, of the same crime. She was imprisoned for over a year but never tried. What happened to her after a grand jury dismissed the case against her in May 1693 is unknown.”

Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne and Tituba were brought before local magistrates in Salem Village, March 1, 1692, beginning what would become known as the Salem witch trials.

31 days of witches: The invented witch, Tituba

"What magics politics and art will next work on Tituba remains to be seen. For those who insist on hard evidence, however, the facts are few. She lived in the household of Reverend Samuel Parris. Her prior whereabouts are not known. Her culture defined her as an Indian. Her contemporaries offered no verifiable clues about her age. She was accused of witchcraft and confessed. She claimed to have been beaten and to have been herself afflicted by witches. From the beginning of March 1692 until she was brought to a court of General Jail Delivery on 9 May 1693, she presumably languished in prison. Exactly when she was released and whether she was ever reunited with John Indian—or whether she had reason to be—is also not know. Beyond those simple facts lies the realm of fictional narrative and historical speculation. It is in that realm that Tituba has long abided." - Bernard Rosenthal
