By book

Princess D'nadia in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario

On the Danger Zone panel to Carl's left, trying to hold his hand through the hologram, trumpeting with her tentacles at Tucker's humiliation (ch. 19). When Manasa dies she weeps black oil, condemns the Skull Empire in the Prism kingdom's name, and tells Tucker to shut the fuck up.

Princess D'nadia in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook

Donut's sponsor from ch. 12, the Sac from Ripper Wonton's panel; her first box is unique goggles made for Donut that turn Magic Missile into lasers and see invisible bolts (ch. 15, ch. 22). Donut writes her thank-you notes all day.

Princess D'nadia in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods

Sponsors five more crawlers (ch. 7); sends Donut a bronze box that upgrades the goggles to read surface and subsurface temperatures in precise detail, the benefactor's economical way to build a Legendary item over five floors (ch. 8, ch. 9). Dr. Hu's colleague expects her to 'do something stupid' (epilogue).

Princess D'nadia in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade

Empress now, her father retired, judging the pet show and talent contest because judging makes her part of the production, a loophole; cross that Carl's corporation nearly ruined her buy-in bid, in orbit and landing after tonight (ch. 66). She drinks through a tentacle (ch. 67), is served by an ethereal hand (ch. 68), gets sloshed (ch. 72), tells Signet her mother was never real and that she looked forward to meeting Carl on the battlefield outside Larracos (ch. 73), and vanishes with the seal. The Prism holds one of the two open Faction Wars spots (ch. 77).

Princess D'nadia in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Empress now, at the warlords' table, fond of the song (ch. 21); sells Donut's sponsorship to a waste company (ch. 29) and files three emergency items to delete the Posse and every NPC in Larracos (ch. 35). 'I thought she was my friend!'

Princess D'nadia in book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

The Empress in a warehouse castle thirty miles south with three guards and no protections worth the name (ch. 25): smoke, bangers, a dress spread like an anemone, a knife she cuts herself with to stay unmarkable, clockwork Mongos through her dress, and Carl's white anger with one foot over the edge. 'I did it for my people.' 'No, D'Nadia. You did it for you' (ch. 26). Kill credit to Mongo; Gavrilo Princip; a bankrupt dynasty (ch. 27).

Princess D'nadia in book 8 — A Parade of Horribles

Dead; the Skull Empire gobbles up the Prism's holdings and triples Sydnee Iglacia's rent (epilogue). Carl remembers the moment he nearly killed her (ch. 60).
