<P> It should be noted that the true Queen of Hearts in this story is Genevieve Heart, Alyss's mother as an apparent re-imagining of the White Queen . Alyss is, therefore, the Princess of Hearts . </P> <P> In the manga Alice in the Country of Hearts, the Queen of Hearts is known as Vivaldi . She isn't as much a main character, though, and she has very few parts in the current books . Vivaldi rules Heart Castle and is feuding with the other territories over Wonderland . She is beautiful with black hair, unlike other adaptations . She speaks in the majestic plural, I.E, "We are happy you are here to see us ." As discovered through Heart no Kuni no Alice the game by Quinrose (the predecessor to the manga) Blood Dupree (The Hatter) is Vivaldi's little brother though it is alluded to be a romantic interest for Vivaldi until Alice discovers the secret . </P> <P> In the two - part series Alice, hosted by the SyFy Channel, the Queen of Hearts is portrayed by Kathy Bates as a refined but ruthless drug lord . The miniseries is set one hundred and fifty years after the original Alice's first visit to Wonderland (the heroine is an unrelated character) and the Queen is (as usual) the primary villain of the series . As is customary, the Queen is depicted as narcissistic, declaring herself as "the most powerful woman in the history of literature" and obese . Her calm, cold demeanour suggests that she too is a mixture of the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen . Her name is given as "Mary Elizabeth Heart", and it is suggested that the Hearts are the "Red" royal family who seized control of Wonderland from the "White" royal family . </P> <Ul> <Li> The Queen of Hearts appears in the Once Upon a Time episode "Hat Trick", played by Jennifer Koenig . In the show's second season, it is revealed that the Queen of Hearts is in fact Cora (Barbara Hershey), the mother of the Wicked Witch of the West and the Evil Queen . In her earlier life, Cora (portrayed by Rose McGowan) was also the miller's daughter (the heroine of the Rumpelstiltskin story). She appears in every season throughout the show most often portrayed by Barbara Hershey but at younger age portrayed by Rose McGowan . She was the main antagonist of Season 2 . </Li> <Li> In the show's spin - off, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, a flashback reveals that Cora (as the Queen of Hearts) was the Red Queen's tutor in magic; Cora apparently ruled part of Wonderland and was a political rival of the Red King . </Li> </Ul>
