Character · from book 6
Huanxin Jinx
A grixist heiress in the prologue's tenth floor and, seasons later, the CEO of Icon Industries, rich enough to lend to governments: she has played the Celestial Ascendency since childhood and never won, once drove the goddess Dodola, was suspended for bribery and killed Armita for Odette's betrayal. This season she sponsors Eileithyia, the goddess Katia came to worship through Princess Formidable's sponsor box, has Katia get Carl to repair Yemaya's shrine so that the goddess rises again, and bargains with Carl in a channel the system cannot read. 'She can go fuck herself,' says Mordecai — whose brother died the last time someone refused her.
