Story so far
Princess Donut executes the decisive move of 'Plan Carl' in Club Scolopendra. Using one of Lucia's loop-de-loop traps she zaps into the room, swapping places with Penelope (teleported out to Taranis), her Scorpion's Bite crossbow mount cocked with Katia's Danforth bolt. She fires true, burying bolts in both of Emberus's eye sockets to strip his invulnerability and pin him — setting up his death.
As the immobilized god hurls a lethal fire blast (shunted onto Penny by Carl's Lucky Shot), she quips 'Toodles' and casts Puddle Jumper (level 17) to whisk herself and Carl out to the arena entrance, into a demolition-derby of crew vehicles mowing down thousands of mobs. When Emberus explodes she cries out in pain, and moments later flatly refuses Carl's order to get off his motorcycle to safety — 'Go fuck yourself, Carl' — staying at his side as Eris freezes the world.
Appearance
A regal tortoiseshell Persian show cat in the beaded Assassin's Veil and black-and-gold Gurkha blanket, the Scorpion's Bite crossbow mounted on her back, glowing claws; fierce and poised.
Role
The #1 crawler springing the god-trap on Emberus and extracting Carl from the club into the arena battle.
Relationships
Carl — Her partner, whose god-killing trap she springs and whom she refuses to abandon.
Emberus — The god she pins with two Danforth bolts to the eyes, exposing him to death.
Penelope — The pig she swaps places with via Lucia's loop-trap on entry.
Eris — The chaos goddess whose arrival freezes the arena around them.
