Character · Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade

Juice Box

The Toe's one changeling prostitute in Hump Town — a Ratkin Brood Mother, a Mouser Dame, a bald eighteen-year-old, whatever is asked — who sells information for a gold coin, wrangles forty children through a bombing, and turns out to be Henrik's sister, the keeper of her people's story, and a woman who dreams she was once a schoolteacher, a dream Louis reads as a memory of an earlier crawl. The sixth floor is her people's ancient home.
