Series arc
Through book 5
'Ten minutes, Odette' (B5 ch. 18). She has them seated on the couch as the show starts (B5 ch. 19) and, in the green room during the one-minute hand-off from kua-tin to Valtay control with no sniffers online, is Odette's deniable mouth: the queen is a country boss, new and unseen, therefore a repurposed human, and the party will end in a battle designed to zero out the top crawlers (B5 ch. 20).

By book
Lexis in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
The first human from another world Carl meets (ch. 27): five foot five, head three-quarters the width it should be, blonde bun, tablet, a voice like a cartoon. She runs the green room, explains the holodeck rules and the invisible walls (ch. 28), is sent out of the room when Odette wants to talk (ch. 29) — 'Plexis' — and nearly loses a finger putting a bow tie on Mongo (epilogue).
Lexis in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
On Odette's boat again in the epilogue, taking Katia through the return procedures so Odette can talk to Carl alone.
Lexis in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
Odette's assistant, wringing her hands between a shouting host and an admin who keeps barging in (epilogue).
Lexis in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods
In Seattle in the freezing rain with a shotgun and a translator in her clothes: kills Gennrik through the chest, captures Sadir, shoots Brad going for the pistol and lets him bleed out, knocks out a settlement, and cubes Bea for Odette and the cat for Borant's walk-on bounty. 'My name is Lexis […] I am here to take you to safety' (epilogue).
Lexis in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
'Ten minutes, Odette' (ch. 18). She has them seated on the couch as the show starts (ch. 19) and, in the green room during the one-minute hand-off from kua-tin to Valtay control with no sniffers online, is Odette's deniable mouth: the queen is a country boss, new and unseen, therefore a repurposed human, and the party will end in a battle designed to zero out the top crawlers (ch. 20).
