=== The Grixitt ===

A female Ysgardian petitioner, the Grixitt is the last of the Expansionists, a Faction exiled from Sigil and which has apparently died out on Ysgard. Driven mad with her need to avenge her Faction on the Lady, she carries out an endless campaign of sabotage against Sigil, stalking through the dark of "night" to destroy as many portals as she can, in hopes of eventually sealing the Cage off from the rest of the multiverse and leaving it to die.
* [[Deader Than Dead]]: As a Petitioner who has forsaken her native plane of Ysgard, if she dies in Sigil, she can never come back as she'll cease to exist entirely.
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Grixitts are a now-extinct species of burrowing nocturnal mammals from Ysgard, which were hunted to extinction over their warm pelts. The Grixitt is essentially out to destroy the entire city of Sigil and kill everybody inside of it.
* [[Ms. Exposition]]: Her profile in the book is related by her personally.
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: Although her goals sound silly, she does succeed at damaging portals every night she goes out. And Sigil depends on its portal network; without them, it hasn't got any ability to provide sufficient food — in fact, without portals, it'll run out of drinkable water and breathable air! And no spells can be used to summon anything into Sigil, or escape from Sigil. Even without destroying all the portals, if the Grixitt can damage enough of them, she would trigger potentially devastating famine-sparked riots.
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: She never fights if she can avoid it, not because she hates violence, but because she has only limited combat skills (she's only a 1st level Rogue) and because, as a Petitioner, death holds a true terror for her. Bargain and escape are her preferred methods for dealing with the threat of violence... although she's plenty ready to stab somebody in the back or slit their throat if she can get the drop on them first.
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: She's so consumed by revenge that she's forgotten everything except her rage against the Lady of Pain; she doesn't even remember her old name, and just calls herself "The Grixitt".
* [[Unknown Rival]]; She considers the Lady her eternal foe, but even if said foe knows about Grixitt's sabotage, one Petitioner is probably beneath her notice for now. Grixitt acknowledges this.
