Gen 7: Spelling BeeSpelling, the only child of a workaholic and an old guy nobody knew the name of, grew up rebellious and deeply angst-ridden. She spent her childhood reading books about the apocalypse
and penning depressing fanfiction lamenting the fact that nobody understood her.
After graduation, much to Queenie's horror, she refused to wed, and instead produced a child out of wedlock with a guy named Emil, who she met one day at the consignment store. Just to spite her mother, she gave her spawn the most rebellious name she could think of.
Things turned around for Spelling when she produced a best-selling memoir,
A Child Called Spelling; the outpourings of sympathy (and royalties) made everything better. She became a teacher, and opted to raise her son with lots of love and affection so that he would grow up to be a kind-hearted pillar of the community.
I could spam you with pictures of Spelling writing, but that would be very boring, so instead here she is wearing a genie costume and eating her first serving of ambrosia:

Gen 8: Killer Bee With a name like Killer, you could be forgiven for thinking that this cute toddler's looks are deceiving
And you'd be correct.
After an uneventful childhood taking evil slumbers and masterminding plots with his teddy bear, Killer took off to China on his teen birthday.
Although martial arts are supposed be peaceful, Killer enjoyed kicking his opponents' heads and was fiendishly delighted whenever he beat them at sparring. He became a martial arts master on his second trip, but never quite mastered that whole zen thing no matter how many hours he spent meditating.
As an adult, Killer entertained me by maxing the acrobat career, then practiced logic and became Emperor of Evil, much to his poor mother's chagrin. (For the record, I did not choose that hair style.)
He took a brief time out to date his boss, Joanne, who later died in mysterious circumstances.
He then gathered
minions fans in another career as a singer. I was bored.
He finally aged up to elder, and ate the final serving of ambrosia.
Queenie doesn't know it yet, but Killer has had his eye on her throne for a long while, and now that the dynasty is complete and eternal life is his, there's really nothing stopping him from kicking her out and getting on with world domination...
