Eva Sigrid
Katia's friend from the university in Reykjavik — an economics professor who ate lunch with her — who went into the dungeon with her, stabbed the man who grabbed her by the arm — he died of it — and joined Brynhild's Daughters. A half-Nagini, half-orc Nimblefoot Enforcer with four arms, two sabers and skulls for thirteen kills by the fourth floor; Hekla's lieutenant, and a former patient of hers.

First appears: Book 3
Series arc
As of book 5. Hekla's lieutenant in book 3, the one Katia meant to kill instead; loose through book 4 regathering the Daughters; ninth on the board at the start of book 5 and a thief in a boudoir with fifty-one skulls and four hunter marks at the end of it. Bitten by a dinosaur, she is dug out by Katia and dies apologising and afraid — and crowns her killer with Donut's lost tiara as she goes.

Hekla's fixer: skulls for thirteen kills, four arms, the Vermillion train's driver (B3 ch. 21, B3 ch. 22). She tells Katia the truth — 'This is why I left you behind on the third floor. […] This is why nobody likes you' — and Katia's Rush meant for her kills Hekla (B3 ch. 23). Thrown from a window; alive; leader of a party that dissolves; not seen at station 75, and not among the crawlers at station 36 when Elle looks (B3 ch. 24, B3 ch. 25, B3 ch. 27). Odette is muted before she can say something about her (B3 ch. 35).

By book
Eva Sigrid in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
Four arms, two sabers, skulls for thirteen kills — the only skulls in the room (ch. 21). She drives the Vermillion train (ch. 22), loses a hand, and when Katia asks why, answers in Katia's own voice: Fannar's student, the adoption, 'This is why I left you behind on the third floor' (ch. 23). Thrown through a window by a clockwork Hekla (ch. 24); alive on Katia's chat; not at 36; the party dissolves under her (ch. 24, ch. 27). The show confirms she chose first at the third-floor selection and left (ch. 25). Carl keeps her dropped saber, the Left Fang of the Green Sultan, half a set (ch. 27). Odette starts to say something about her on air and is muted (epilogue).
Eva Sigrid in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods
Eva Sigrid in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
Ninth on the leaderboard and Katia's cold promise (ch. 8); untrackable by magic, glamouring a town's NPCs, cornered (ch. 21); with Team Cichociemni (ch. 36); abandoned by her own team and escaped again (ch. 51). She steals the boudoir's potions and gloats (ch. 66): a Nimblefoot Enforcer at level 55, a stump where her top-left hand was, a museum breastplate, over fifty skulls and four hunter marks, needling Katia about Fannar (ch. 67). She confers with Vrah and waits by the exit with an escape ring (ch. 72, ch. 73). Bitten by a dinosaur — she stole the repellant and never drank any — she is dug out by Katia and dies apologising, afraid, and with her last hand puts the Crown of the Sepsis Whore on her killer's head (ch. 77, epilogue).
Eva Sigrid in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Katia: the crown was Eva's doing, at the last minute before she died, and Katia's own fault for talking when she should have killed her (ch. 19); Eva wanted them to fight, and Katia will die before she fights Donut (ch. 19). Anaconda's purple snake skin reminds Carl of her (ch. 23); the only time Carl ever wanted anyone hurt, it was Eva (ch. 31); Hekla's and Eva's faces, Xs over the eyes, on the Posse's blood-red flag (ch. 32); a Four-Armed Eva totem card that Katia would not allow to continue (ch. 48).
