Signet

Tsarina Signet

Donut remembers Signet's vengeance, self-sacrifice, and the army of former tattoos and helpers she leaves for the Princess Posse.

Story so far

Signet's earlier program binds Carl to help her reclaim her crown and defeat Queen Imogen, who participated in her mother's death. Donut remembers the elite with characteristic irritation about her minimal clothing and disturbing tattoos.

At the Butcher's Masquerade, Signet finally gets her revenge but must kill herself to break the ritual and enable Imogen's defeat. Sledge's transfer carries Signet's manifested tattoos and helpers with the castle to the ninth floor.

Those survivors now form a substantial part of the Princess Posse's future army, giving Signet a continuing legacy after death.

Appearance

A nearly bare tattooed half-naiad remembered against the silhouettes of living figures released from her skin.
