The youngest child of King Rust, sister of Prince Stalwart and Prince Maestro, and Katia's sponsor from the fourth floor: her first gift is one crossbow bolt, 1 of 100, that pauses a god's invulnerability if it hits the eye. 'I'm starting to think the sister isn't a huge fan of her big brother.'

King Rust's youngest and Katia's sponsor; one bolt that can open a god's invulnerability for fifteen seconds (B3 ch. 12, B3 ch. 29). Grull, in the Maestro's voice, calls her a cunt for wasting it (B3 ch. 33).

By book

Princess Formidable in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook

Katia's sponsor from ch. 12, whom Carl privately identifies as King Rust's daughter; her one gift is the Bolt of Ophiotaurus (ch. 29). Grull, in her brother's voice: 'that magical bolt my cunt of a sister wasted on your friend' (ch. 33).

Princess Formidable in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods

Sends Katia an emergency silver box that must have cost a fortune — ten Bolts of Petrify Rock Class — the moment Maggie, sponsored by both her brothers, walks up to Carl in Chris's body (ch. 14). The bolt she sent Katia on the last floor, which strips a god's invulnerability for a few seconds, is not used on Emberus; Carl still thinks harming a god absurd (ch. 32).
