Queen Marie Antoinette Lincoln is the Aunt of Monique and great-aunt of Gerald and Angel, she likes to be called Aunt Queen. She is confined to a wheelchair but refuses to feel sorry for herself. When a doctor asks if she is able to take care of Gerald, she says that she's capable of doing whatever is necessary. She gains custody of Gerald when he, at three, is almost killed in an apartment fire. She seeks to gain custody of Angel but is unable to do so. She dies suddenly, possibly as a result of the strain of Monique's visit and the conflict she knows to be ahead.
