Odette

Head:

A black, triangular, praying-mantis-like head with mirrored compound eyes the size of footballs and antennae spanning at least six feet, as wide as her crab body.^B1C28

Lower Body:

Entirely crab, a black-and-red, lumpy shell built like a king crab but the size of a brown bear, with too many chitinous legs to tuck under her desk, twitching on their own.^B1C28

Torso:

Grafted on above the crab body, a naked, ebony-skinned human torso built like an exaggerated glamour model, with breasts Carl calls beyond anything natural. Long, curved, claw-like nails painted blue to match the couch.^B1C28

True Form:

A human woman, approximately sixty, with eyes just a little too wide to fully pass as someone from Earth. Wears a dark shirt and a heart-pendant necklace. Ends at the stomach with no legs at all; moves by floating on a buzzing disk she calls her wheelchair. The crab-mantis-breasts getup Carl met on air is her own real armor from her own crawl, what she wore reaching the stairwell to floor 13, now her signature look: a removable helmet, a detachable chest piece, and a freshly killed crab's shell worn as legs.^B1C29

Hosts Carl, Donut, and Katia Grim's post-Death-Challenge interview from the After Hours set; retreats to the green room and back mid-taping over a censorship dispute with Loita^B3C35

Floating on her hovering disk in front of the guest couch, audience and staff cleared out, for a private word with Carl and Donut^B1C29

Behind her desk on the After Hours Set, next to the guest couch^B1C28

Carl:

Interviews him and Donut live after floor 3, breaking the news that the Syndicate court sided with them but Borant vetoed the prize anyway; once the cameras cut, admits she bought his and Donut's interview rights dirt cheap early on and calls them still her highest-rated guests. Warns him about his War Gauntlet's power to summon Grull, King Rust's new deity sponsorship, and Hekla's growing fixation on recruiting Donut through Katia^B2C26

Per Zev, still holds the contract on Carl and Donut's next scheduled interview after Danger Zone, ahead of the wave of other requests now coming in^B2C20

Booked as his and Donut's next scheduled appearance, per Zev, following the standing contract giving her first refusal on each floor's opening interview^B1C44

Clears the room for a private word, reveals her real body, and warns him about race changes, loot, and trust before sending him back into the dungeon^B1C29

Meets him for the first time on air, welcomes him, and gets him to say his own catchphrase for the crowd^B1C28

Donut:

Calls her hilarious as always, but suggests keeping Mongo off the set next time^B3C35

Introduces Katia live as the newest member of the Royal Court of Princess Donut; needles Donut over the Celestial box denial until she erupts on air, calling it an outrage^B2C26

Warns her never to change race no matter what she's offered, and admits to dosing her cat treats to sharpen her for the interview^B1C29

Meets her for the first time on air, welcomes her warmly by title, and draws her out on her royal claims^B1C28

Mordecai:

Referenced, not seen: Prize Carousel host Chaco tells Carl that hundreds of cycles ago, on orders from Mordecai's own manager at the time, he did something to Mordecai that would have gotten him killed otherwise and was somehow also necessary to avoid losing Odette; Chaco doesn't explain how the two outcomes were linked^B3C7

Referenced, not seen: Mordecai tells Carl to ask her about a Divine Guardian's dead challenger from the recap show, a famous crawler who predates Mordecai's own time, extending their still-unexplained shared history without adding anything new about her directly^B2C7

Trained him on his own crawl, long before this season; still keeps tabs on him and asks Carl to tell him to seek her out once this crawl ends^B1C29

Katia Grim:

Teases her on air about impersonating Carl so convincingly it looked practiced; afterward tells her she's improved noticeably since last time and should keep working on relaxing^B3C35

Referenced, not seen: per Zev, formally amends her production contract with a new Katia option making Katia's own attendance at post-floor interviews mandatory, paying extra to make her exclusive and adding a rider demanding she come across as more "zippy" after a lackluster prior performance^B3C25

Interviews her live for the first time, getting only one-word, deer-in-the-headlights answers before turning back to Carl and Donut^B2C26

Lucia Mar:

Referenced, not seen: recalled by Carl as having called Lucia a psychopath after she did something to one of Odette's own assistants; no further detail given^B3C29

Chris Andrews 2:

Starts to say, off the crawl and to Loita rather than the audience, that she hadn't warned "them" about something involving Chris, cut off mid-sentence when Loita mutes her and ends the visit^B3C35

Eva:

Starts to ask about Eva riding the front of a train and something that almost happened before Loita cuts her feed entirely; never gets to finish the thought on the page^B3C35

Hekla:

Admits privately, once the cameras stop, that she personally sponsored Hekla rather than her husband as she claimed on air; says she hopes to explain the whole affair further someday^B3C35

Loita:

Clashes with her twice on air over new censorship rules added to Katia's contract, both times going mute mid-argument before the two end up laughing together; calls her Katia's grandmother's opposite, high-strung by comparison, and gets warned off twice by Loita for how far she's pushing^B3C35

Beatrice:

Hosts her remote reunion with Carl and Donut while presenting a Borant-approved rescue story she then probes for weaknesses^B5C19

Says she removed Beatrice from Earth to protect Carl and Donut from a dungeon-boss threat, while negotiating a Borant revenue increase around the rescue^B5C18

Orders Lexis to bring her in, saying Beatrice has a use that does not involve selling her to Borant^B4C35

Gravy Boat:

Orders him left unconscious in a bounty cube for a planned handoff to Borant^B4C35

Belt:

At least a legendary item; lets her attach other monsters' severed body parts to herself. Used it to wear a killed crab's body as replacement legs after a Fiend Scythe took her own.^B1C29
