Character · Book 7, This Inevitable Ruin

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. When the Rage Elemental's spell throws her against the hallway ceiling, Carl carries her over his shoulder into the safe room.

Arc

The scout on the naga side who finds the artillery and the reason the Reavers wanted pet levelling accelerated (ch. 15), knocks the anti-air guns over with Carl's launcher (ch. 23), and finds a naga army already dead in its barracks (ch. 45). She goes through the Gate of the Feral Gods into the Madness with Carl, is thrown into a tree and robbed of it by a war mage who pulled his blow — 'I haven't been walloped like that since my bachelorette party' (ch. 61, ch. 62). 'Can you stop trying to control everyone else's operation?' (ch. 63). 'You wanted chaos, Carl' (ch. 64). She wakes from the ball smelling like a god's schlong — 'not the first time' — and tells Donut she is a goddamn hero (ch. 77); her fairies ice the lava pools (ch. 77); she takes the daddy-tax bra (ch. 87). Akuma calls her 'the one on the Four Seasons path' and says to keep her alive if they mean to face Scolopendra (ch. 78).
