Character · Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade

Elle McGibbons

Ninety-nine years old, wheelchair-bound, sometimes calling Carl 'Barry' after her late husband, and fond of telling him what she would have let him do in the tunnel of love.

Arc

A Tundra Princess on a four-seasons build nobody has completed (ch. 8), level 51 with a brown streak in her white hair and a wedding ring on a chain because her fingers shrank (ch. 36): 'Most fun I've had' (ch. 51). At the party she is the eyewitness to a hunter swelling on the dead dryads' blood and birthing a god (ch. 62), names the castle the Sugar Cube (ch. 66), calls over a Crest hunter and learns how his brother became Diwata's birthing vessel (ch. 69, ch. 70), christens Ferdinand Cat-nac the Magnificent (ch. 72) and tells Carl to go fuck himself when he plans to die (ch. 73). Her painted mainsail is the backdrop; 'So much for season three' (ch. 74). She ices a dying raptor in the pit (ch. 76) and feels bad about Horton (ch. 77).
