Character · Book 7, This Inevitable Ruin

Agatha

A homeless woman with a shopping cart, an IKEA bag of spray paint and a pink flamingo with an arrow through its head, who set fire to the eldercare facility and walked down the dungeon's stairs cackling. Level two without ever going through the tutorial. She is edited out of the recap episode, and her cart is not what it seems.

Arc

A crazy old white lady with a shopping cart, level 23, no class, who cannot be recruited or enter Larracos and goes to the bar where Lucia drinks; the Prime Minister himself orders Carl not to interact with her; the AI has a soft spot for her (ch. 28). She surfaces as warlord of the War Mage Rebellion with three action items that restore the original rules (ch. 68), is a residual of the rarer kind, in line with the Nebulars, the Apothecary's enemy (ch. 69), and is removed for abandoning her post (ch. 73). Akuma: she jumps to the Waiting Room and reappears outside an open stairwell; find her on the tenth; 'She seeks to kill us all […] Everybody and everything' (ch. 78).
