Character · Book 8, A Parade of Horribles

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.

Arc

She had said she was going somewhere with Justice Light, Carl remembers, though Justice Light is dead (ch. 10). The AI says she was dumped in Sheol and is reachable by the Reaper Spider Minions Carl keeps missing (ch. 86); the Unwashed she turned into is the effigy on the Vengeance float (ch. 92); the AI's reel of the Ascendency's contenders names 'Juice Box the NPC' and ends on an image of the Unwashed (epilogue).
