Vaggie

**Vaggie**, formerly known as **Vagatha Del Toro**, is one of the two deuteragonists in the *Divine Comedy*.

Originally believed to be a sinner, Vaggie was in fact an Exterminator that was hand-picked by Metatron from the depths of Purgatory to cull Hell's growing population but mainly to allow Heaven gain an advantage in the arms race. However, the senseless and merciless slaughter of Hell's denizens made Vaggie experience heavily traumatic flashes of her father's murder and family's abuse at the latter's hands. She would eventually disown Heaven by removing her Exterminator suit.

Shortly after her banishment to Hell, Vaggie became the best friend and love interest of Charlie Morningstar, serving as the strong, level-headed, and practical manager of the princess' operations, particularly that of Hotel Purgatory.

## Appearance

### Volume One - Three

Vaggie is a slim sinner with muted gray-lavender colored skin. Her hair is white and has a jagged, moth-like shape to the cut, with gray-lavender stripes at the ends. She wears a large, ragged dark reddish-pink bow with two long tails on the back of her head, which reacts along with her moods.

Vaggie's right eye has an ivory white iris and her sclera is light pink. Her left eye is missing as a result of her brutal removal of her Exterminator suit and is replaced by a dark reddish-pink X on a slate-gray eyepatch, which glows when she is angry or irritated.

She wears a dark pink blouse with a dark slate-gray peter-pan style collar, scalloped trim to the sleeves, and two buttons down the front. Her choker and skirt are the same dark slate-gray. Vaggie's accessories consists of long slate-gray fingerless gloves and long stockings, which are scalloped with white at the tops and the tips of the toes.

### Volume Three - Onwards

After the events Volume Three of the *Divine Comedy*, Vaggie undertook a drastic redesign as a result of the archangels removing Metatron's influence over her through her injured eye when she was an Exterminator.

The portion of her hair that silks down in a way that covers the left side of her face has been somewhat shortened with the longer portion of her hair now cut and replaced with a cloak that resembles the jagged, moth-like shape that can be sharpened when she is enraged or smooth when she is calm. The cloak itself is held together with a skull pin and has a puffer hoodie.

She wears a four-buttoned magenta vest that covers her abdominal area a puffy striped shirt beneath it. Her most noticeable feature are her eyes. She lost the ivory white iris and light pink sclera, and is instead replaced with faded black eyes resembling a moth's black compound eyes.

## History

### Background

Vaggie was born as Vagatha Del Toro though her biological family is unknown as she was raised in an orphanage alongside her younger brother and sister. At some point, Vaggie and her siblings were adopted and while at first everything looked to be normal and a presumably jovial family life, Vaggie would fatally discover otherwise. She and her siblings would continually be subjected to physical abuse from their foster father. Vaggie's foster father was an alcoholic and a "mean fucking drunk" in her words. Whenever he would arrive home intoxicated he would look to find someone to swing at to which Vaggie would provoke him so he would spare her siblings and even her adoptive mother to some extent.

At one point, when Vaggie was brought before him, he placed three items in front of her which consisted of a wrench, a stick, and a belt. He would then tell her to pick one to use on her siblings. Unable to do it, her foster father picked one himself while saying, "You've always been useless..." and as he whipped the belt at her brother and sister, Vaggie took the wrench from the table and whacked it against the back of her foster father's head. In a fit of pure rage, she would repeatedly bash her foster father's head with the wrench until he was unrecognizable. Coming to her senses, Vaggie looked in horror at what she had done before turning to her siblings who quickly ran out the house in sheer fright. Vaggie pleaded for them to come back in a vain attempt to explain, and as she crossed the street a cadillac ran her over, sending her hurtling in the air and crash to the ground, killing her.

### Exterminator

Vaggie was put through the usual process of the Mortem System and was ready to be taken to Mictlan, but as she wandered through the shores of Purgatory, she was taken by one of Metatron's angels (going against Mictlantecuhtli's claim over her) in order to be part of the Extermination legion though at first Vaggie believed from Metatron's false promises that they were only contributing to a greater cause and will be justly rewarded when they pay their dues.

Vaggie at present could barely recall the events that transpired as she was being indoctrinated into the program but she mentions that it was quite unpleasant. The suits fitted onto her would stimulate her wrath and hatred towards the individuals she despised the most such as her foster father. The lenses of the suit would alter the imagery of whoever she is targeting into that of her foster father; she describes it as a sort of alternate facial recognition software that was embedded in her brain and eyes. This allowed her to kill many sinners and demons with no remorse whatsoever as she believed them all to be her malicious foster father.

However, during one fateful Extermination event, Vaggie's software malfunctioned, revealing who she was really killing. She found herself with her spear raised and preparing to smite a family of demons. Utterly distraught, images of that night before her death would assault and overwhelm her. Desperate, Vaggie took refuge inside the ruined remains of a chapel on one of Hell's islands and began to slowly but brutally tear the suit off her which, in her words, felt as if someone was pulling her muscle fibers and bones with fish hooks as slowly and painfully as possible. During her great struggle, her eye was injured when she pulled off the mask and helm until she finally succeeded. She passed out from the unbearable strain but this signaled her renouncement of Heaven. She effectively became a sinner afterwards.

### In Hell

Despite being condemned to Hell, Vaggie is unique as she did not completely belong to the Inferno for traces of Heaven's influence was dormant within her via her eyepatch though at the time she was not aware of this. This would explain as to why she was seemingly more human in appearance compared to the rest of her demonic peers. In addition, Vaggie would relapse into her more violent aspects as a former Exterminator whenever she is cornered or highly stressed.
