By book
Elle McGibbons in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
Elle McGibbons — Crawler #12,330,800, ninety-nine, in a wheelchair — first asks Carl to put Divorce Court on the safe-room television because her Barry used to watch it (ch. 31). From the last car of the residents' train she tells him what she would have let him do in the tunnel of love (ch. 37); a minute later gravity reverses, throws her onto the ceiling, and Carl carries her along it and down again into Big Shot Chicken with claws a millimetre behind them (ch. 38). At the stairs she calls him Barry, says they should have had children, and suspects an acid flashback because the cat keeps talking to her (ch. 41). Carl kneels to say goodbye and is reminded of his mother's last lie.
Elle McGibbons in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Off-page until the epilogue, where she is tenth on the first leaderboard: Elle McGib, Frost Maiden, Blizzardmancer, level 13, having started the floor at level one in a wheelchair. Carl does not know how; Brandon's last message said the residents could not choose human and were getting Legendary Pacifist Boxes and a great deal of magical gear (ch. 8).
Elle McGibbons in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
A Frost Maiden: four and a half feet, light blue, floating a foot up in her Meadow Lark socks, shouting for Knockout shots (ch. 8). The manager benefit came with the race and Mistress Tiatha cried. She puts an icicle through the eye of the woman who stunned Donut's guards and shrugs off the skull (ch. 9); reads the primes off Mordecai's map (ch. 9); rides the ghoul coaster because she never got to (ch. 18, ch. 19); freezes hundreds in a trainyard and complains about the experience (ch. 19); freezes acid at the chokepoints (ch. 31); and, on a scroll's worth of flight, puts icicles off a god's head to lead him to Katia-as-Carl (ch. 33). Off the leaderboard by ch. 25 and unbothered. 'Stay frosty' (ch. 22). 'Sometimes I think you're cheating, Carl' — to which Donut: 'His name is Mordecai' (ch. 34).
