Through book 1
Known only through the screen: the show's favourite, a child with dogs and four skulls. Carl's appearance fee reaches hers in B1 ch. 44. A parallel crawl the series is clearly keeping.
Through book 2
Now a Lajabless and a Black Inquisitor General (B2 ch. 7), the show's front-runner with a bounty of 1,000,000 (B2 ch. 26), and — because a recap cut Donut's drunk remark into a challenge — Donut's declared enemy: 'Cici and Gus will tear this puta apart' (B2 ch. 21). Mordecai expects the show to bring them together on or after the sixth floor.
Through book 3
Through book 4
The recap shows her kill Ifechi with a Rubber spell cast on the woman's head, so that Florin's shotgun does it (B4 ch. 4); she has killed two admins and signed confessions for both (B4 ch. 19); a group of crawlers work with her; she sobs alone on screen after her dog kills a party (B4 ch. 20). Mordecai: the show has stopped editing her spell out, which has a vulnerability. Second on the board at the end, after Carl.
Through book 5
Mayor of Alucarda (B5 ch. 29); a saferoom cheated with ejection traps (B5 ch. 34); a mayor ripped in half and a dog lost (B5 ch. 37). At the party a frightened kid, then a Dutch ten-year-old named Jill, then the swagger — 'She killed Cici. I kill her' (B5 ch. 71). Multiple children in her head; the dog is the controller. She teleports out before the pit (B5 ch. 77).
Open: who Alexandro is; 'You guys said there were no children crawlers allowed.' 'It's complicated.'
Through book 6
Buys every teleport trap and all the alcohol (B6 ch. 57); the Battle of Beijing, Fang and his wife dead for a key; five doggie doors dropped at the stairs because Florin asked; friendly, then a score with Donut for the next floor (B6 ch. 63). In the epilogue a Syndicate agent, number 21, formerly Parvati, takes the name Alexandro (B6 ch. 73).

By book
Lucia Mar in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
The show's first star: a girl of about thirteen in a yellow soccer jersey with rottweilers Cici and Gustavo 3, whose dogs shred a cow-sized spider on the premiere (ch. 14). By the second floor she has silver armour, a personal shield, four crawler-killer skulls the show does not explain (ch. 39), and a dog that mauled Odette's producer (ch. 29). Zev says Carl's appearance fee now equals hers (ch. 44). Carl notices that her dogs carry no skulls or stars because they are pets (ch. 39); Mordecai cites them when he explains that crawler pets are a different sort of thing, and that had Donut stayed a pet Carl could have bonded another (ch. 47).
Lucia Mar in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
On the recap: a Lajabless — half the day a beauty, half a skull, one goat leg — and a Black Inquisitor General (ch. 7). At the Desperado Club she froze the room, stole tequila, let her dogs maul the pet room and brained an Elite gnoll with a mace (ch. 15). The recap invents a feud with Donut and she accepts it on an arena show: 'Cici and Gus will tear this puta apart' (ch. 21). First on the leaderboard with a bounty of 1,000,000 (epilogue).
Lucia Mar in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
First on the leaderboard all floor (ch. 3, ch. 25), level 35 by ch. 24, banned from the Desperado Club for life (ch. 8); a necklace of monster tongues stolen by her own dog (ch. 8); a room of five stairwells found before anyone (ch. 13); a mantaur beaten to death against a train, and one rottweiler suddenly twice the size of the other (ch. 29). 'Do you think that means this Lucia kid isn't as crazy as she looks?'
Lucia Mar in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods
The recap shows her murder Ifechi: a boy thrown at Florin, an insult to her father nobody spoke, a conversation with someone who is not there, and a Rubber spell cast on Ifechi's head so that Florin's shotgun kills his own lover; she signs confessions for the two admins she has killed and stays in the dungeon (ch. 4, ch. 19). Mordecai: the spell has a vulnerability and the show has stopped editing it out — 'They might want her killed.' She rolls a frozen pyramid, works with a group, is shown sobbing alone after Gustavo kills a party (ch. 20), and is everyone's favourite feed (ch. 18). Carl decides her tears were manufactured for the same reason a puppy was made fragile (ch. 29). First on the board until the last night; second after.
Lucia Mar in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
She kills a stegosaurus through her dog and eats its eye on the recap (ch. 21); she is mayor of Alucarda, having killed R'aggah (ch. 29); she has fought Donut (ch. 30). In her saferoom she punches herself in the face and cheats the room with ejection traps (ch. 34), takes a stuffed decoy for Donut and teleports into Vrah (ch. 35), rips a mayor in half, orders milk, talks to someone named Alexandro, loses Cici — 'They all must die' (ch. 37). At the party she is a frightened kid against a wall (ch. 67), then a girl named Jill who wants her mother, then the swagger again: 'She killed Cici. I kill her' (ch. 71). She hands out tequila ringed by hunters (ch. 72), cowers behind Florin (ch. 75), and teleports out before the boss fight begins (ch. 77).
Lucia Mar in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Buys every teleport trap and all the alcohol (ch. 57); the Battle of Beijing — no cards, an empty hand, Fang and his wife killed for a key — and then five Tier 3 doggie doors dropped at the stairs because Florin asked (ch. 63). Friendly, then not: a score to settle with Donut on the next floor (ch. 63).
