By book
Clarabelle in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
The crocodilian on the club door (ch. 15), who recognises Mordecai in any body and describes the pet room after Lucia Mar.
Clarabelle in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
Clarabelle in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
At the door of the Desperado Club on the Hunting Grounds: the drains keep clogging, the sharks are not helping, the hotel and casino are still down there, and 'Tenth floor rules apply, but only at the door' — the blood bar must be full to get in (ch. 58). Donut's ledger catches her skimming 100 gold; she knows about the stairwell in a toilet tank (ch. 58).
Clarabelle in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
The crocodilian guard at the Desperado Club's door, whose cleaner, better-lit counterpart guards Club Vanquisher (ch. 18); she refuses eye contact and lets the party in without a word (ch. 22, ch. 30). She has never seen Samantha here, only on the recap, and never noticed the pass on her neck; Samantha hisses at her (ch. 31). Barred from backtracking, the party will not see her on the way out (ch. 34).
