Tserendolgor

The Dog Soldier with a flamethrower Donut fought at station 36, saved from a sealed bubble on the fifth floor, and on the sixth 'Ren', ranked 38, with a level-20 tummy acher named Garret she won for attending CrawlCon: a beacon of fire in the castle pit, and Best in Show over Mongo.

Race and class, since book 5: Tummy Acher · Crisper

First appears: Book 3

Series arc

As of book 6. Ren, because nobody can pronounce it: a Dog Soldier with a flamethrower who called herself 'not a he' in book 3, was saved from a bubble by a blind god's noise in book 4, and won Best in Show over Mongo with a tummy acher named Garret in book 5. Book 6 gives her the Capitol, held while her own totems, turned by Quan, tear her tank apart, and four minutes on a door: she sits down, tells Carl he is an idiot with love and a symbol, empties her inventory, kills Garret with a crystal knife so that he can live with Carl, confesses the pet show, and goes out on a bracer. 'Make them suffer.' Carl has her flamethrower, and she has his oath.
