Juice Box

The Toe's one changeling prostitute in Hump Town — a Ratkin Brood Mother, a Mouser Dame, a bald eighteen-year-old, whatever is asked — who sells information for a gold coin, wrangles forty children through a bombing, and turns out to be Henrik's sister, the keeper of her people's story, and a woman who dreams she was once a schoolteacher, a dream Louis reads as a memory of an earlier crawl. The sixth floor is her people's ancient home.

Series arc

As of book 7. A changeling prostitute in book 4, Louis's fiancée in book 5, her own team in book 6, and in book 7 co-warlord of Team Retribution with a cat for a workaround: her spies in every court save Carl from the Lemig; her changelings — ungated, Justice Light suspects, by a fifth-floor quest — are spent touching gods; at the council she becomes the thing Houston calls the Beautiful Place and walks through a wall. She marries Louis in a bar and loves him — 'He is to me like Donut is to you' — and possesses him as a Hunter Wraith to carry him out, which shows her, through the wraith's curse, that he is terrified of her. Divorce papers; a Fleshmancer's hands for his transplant; 'I have something inside me, Carl. Something very, very powerful' She takes the long way to the twelfth floor — into the Nothing, alone, because Justice Light lied — to be reborn 'the ultimate weapon to end this madness.'

By book

Juice Box in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods

The prostitute

The Toe's one changeling, pouting after the party declines her (ch. 1); a Ratkin Brood Mother Attendant, a Mouser Dame, Chuck E. Cheese in drag, whatever Louis describes, who catches a coin without turning her head and, Mordecai warns, could be a gorgon, a rocksling and a forge ogre 'before you could say “Ouch.”' (ch. 5). She sells Ruckus's story for a gold coin (ch. 8) and hands out Capri Suns to forty children in a shelter (ch. 10).

The sister

Henrik's sister, and not a Principal: her people are not from here, their bodies never finished adapting, one birth in four is sick and sterile, the Hunting Grounds are their ancient home (ch. 10), and the Gate is no myth (ch. 15). She takes Bonnie's hand as a gnome woman (ch. 17), warns Carl he is like her brother (ch. 33), and dreams of being a schoolteacher whose pupils were killed, which Louis takes for a memory of her last time in the dungeon (ch. 28). She agrees to carry the winding box through a gate for a promise that Carl will try to bring her people down every floor; she carries a fake, is sent to Larracos as a bird to tell the survivors what they are, kisses Carl's cheek, and says she will marry Louis (ch. 34).

Juice Box in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade

Carl's promise to her needs the Gate he no longer has (ch. 1). Engaged to Louis; her people in the Liana district (ch. 8). Her people send someone to the Desperado Club every day in case Carl shows up with the plan (ch. 52); her village is in the brambles' path (ch. 54); she told her people to be careful of Carl, and trusted him anyway (ch. 58).

Juice Box in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Wears Epitome Noflex to a warlords' meeting, beheads a viceroy and bombs a blob: 'I know what I am, and I know what you are […] I'm my own team' (ch. 21, ch. 22). Carl proposes the tenth team; the audience passes it: Home Team, Larracos, co-warlord with Sir Ferdinand (ch. 72).

Juice Box in book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

Co-warlord of Team Retribution with a cat as her workaround, because a voice from nowhere forbids her menus (ch. 9). She lays out maps and puts some in a drawer, wanted everyone regenerating and got them killable instead, and marries Louis in a bar in her blank form at level 120 (ch. 9, ch. 10). Her spies in every court save Carl from the Lemig (ch. 19); her changelings — ungated, Justice Light suspects, since a fifth-floor quest — can copy anything they touch, and she is spending them on gods (ch. 56). At the warlord council she becomes an armless midnight thing with electric tentacles that Houston calls the Beautiful Place: 'It is coming for you all' (ch. 43, ch. 44). She grabs Carl by the shoulder as a human — 'Where's my husband?' — and tells Samantha she knows who she really is (ch. 70). As a Hunter Wraith she possesses Louis to carry him out (ch. 79, ch. 80), and pays: the Inevitable Ruin shows her that he is terrified of her and will never trust what she feels. 'He is to me like Donut is to you.' 'I have something inside me, Carl. Something very, very powerful' (ch. 82). A male Fleshmancer for the transplant (ch. 83, ch. 84); divorce papers (ch. 86); the long way to the twelfth floor with Justice Light, who lies to her and sends her into the Nothing alone, to be reborn 'as the ultimate weapon to end this madness. This war' (ch. 85, ch. 87).
