Through book 1
Ninety-nine, in a wheelchair, calling Carl 'Barry': book 1 uses her to ask what saving the elderly means, and Carl thinks, beside her, that keeping the residents safe is not a kindness (B1 ch. 37); when she goes down the ramp in a people bucket, he doubts it is the right thing (B1 ch. 41).

By book
Elle McGibbons in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
Elle McGibbons — Crawler #12,330,800, ninety-nine, in a wheelchair — first asks Carl to put Divorce Court on the safe-room television because her Barry used to watch it (ch. 31). From the last car of the residents' train she tells him what she would have let him do in the tunnel of love (ch. 37); a minute later gravity reverses, throws her onto the ceiling, and Carl carries her along it and down again into Big Shot Chicken with claws a millimetre behind them (ch. 38). At the stairs she calls him Barry, says they should have had children, and suspects an acid flashback because the cat keeps talking to her (ch. 41). Carl kneels to say goodbye and is reminded of his mother's last lie.
