Character · Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade

Big Tina

An eight-year-old Ursine dancer transformed into an allosaurus in a pink boa and tutu, who runs away from the raptor pack, eats the bears of the towns downriver, becomes a vampire and then a level-80 Immortalized child summoning her dead back in pieces, and is owed a recital. The quest's answer is not the dance but her mother; at the party she finally says 'Mommy?' She leaves with the castle, still a dinosaur.

Arc

A juvenile dinosaur in a pink boa who eats bears and runs from the pack (ch. 28), named by an ogre; she empties Prepotente's town (ch. 39). A barmaid tells the rest: an eight-year-old dancer, her father's whip, her mother (ch. 44). Miriam's bite makes her a vampire allosaurus summoning the pieces of her dead (ch. 45); the cure leaves her army uncured (ch. 48); she is level 80, Immortalized, in a tiara and tutu, throwing tantrums at her mother's orders (ch. 52, ch. 53), her dot white and a recital owed (ch. 54). On stage her recharged wand casts a happiness on the whole room (ch. 74); off it she bites an elf in half from another ballroom, and when her mother stands up a bear, her fourth roar is words (ch. 75). Quest complete. She goes with the castle, still a dinosaur.
