Frank and Maggie's teenaged daughter, a gentle runaway forced into their killing and murdered by her own mother.
Yvette was the teenaged daughter of the crawler-killers Frank Q and Maggie My — a repeat runaway with none of her parents' cruelty, dragged into the dungeon the night the family was arrested and screaming at each other in a Pierce County parking lot. On the first floor, Frank forced her to wear the Night Wyrm's Ring and use Marked for Death to mark Carl, a compromise because she refused to fight and wouldn't level; she marked him, the family attacked, and Carl escaped into a saferoom. Wounded by his dynamite trap and unable to heal while the mark held — because Carl still lived — she was choked to death by her own mother to end Maggie's unending pain.
Learning the full truth on The Iron Tangle, Carl grasps that her death was the tragedy beneath the whole feud: a frightened, good kid drowned in her parents' shadow.
A teenaged girl (undescribed in detail); Frank remembers her as beautiful "on the inside," without her parents' anger.
The tragic murdered daughter whose death is the true root of the Frank-and-Maggie vendetta against Carl.
