Big Tina
An eight-year-old Ursine dancer transformed into an allosaurus in a pink boa and tutu, who runs away from the raptor pack, eats the bears of the towns downriver, becomes a vampire and then a level-80 Immortalized child summoning her dead back in pieces, and is owed a recital. The quest's answer is not the dance but her mother; at the party she finally says 'Mommy?' She leaves with the castle, still a dinosaur.
