## *Book One - The Perennial Child*

### "The Beach Car"

Tulip first encounters The Cat in the Beach Car, where she is trying to sell a lead pipe, or as she calls it a "Donut Holer," to Randall. The Cat claims the Donut Holer is endorsed by the Conductor of the train. Tulip immediately runs to meet her, asking for her help. Seeing One-One and evidently recognizing him as the true conductor, The Cat offers to speak to the Conductor in exchange for Tulip fixing her shuttlecraft and taking One-One. Tulip reluctantly accepts, but later changes her mind and with the help of Randall chases The Cat across the train, destroying the shuttlecraft. The Cat vows revenge, only to get chased away by the Randalls.

### "The Cat's Car"

The Cat is ordered by the Conductor to keep Tulip in her car until Amelia can arrive with the Steward. She does this by having Tulip watch her own Memory Tape, planning to trap her. However, Tulip escapes, and she and her group leave the car. The Cat quickly retrieves a tape to potentially use as leverage before her car is taken to the Conductor and the Steward. The Conductor initially orders the Steward to kill The Cat, but she successfully begs for mercy by claiming she is the only one who can keep track of them. The Steward tells her not to fail again before completely destroying the car, much to The Cat's horror.

### "The Ball Pit Car"

After tracking Tulip down to the Ball Pit Car, she is told by the Conductor to find One-One. However, the Conductor betrays her by ordering the Steward to open fire on the parts of the jungle gym she went into.

### "The Past Car"

The Cat survives the Steward's attack while trapped under the wreckage. In exchange for Tulip freeing her, she offers her the information needed to save Atticus, who was turned into a Ghom by the Conductor's actions. She brings Tulip into the tape she retrieved, revealing it belongs to Amelia, and documents her life before she boarded and took over the Infinity Train. The tape serves the double purpose of showing a cannon Tulip can use to save Atticus and allowing Tulip to recognize her own troubles and gain an exit off the train. Tulip vows to remain on the train so she can save Atticus, and The Cat offers her own help by using her modified shuttlecraft to take them to the Engine.

### "The Engine"

After taking Tulip to the engine, she bids her farewell, cryptically noting she always does the right thing before taking off in her shuttlecraft.

## *Book Two - Cracked Reflection*

### "The Lucky Cat Car"

As she is operating the Lucky Cat Car, she runs into M.T. and mistakes her for her prime. She tells them that if they want to leave, then they must get a combined score of 1000 points, but they have an opponent. When the opponent wins, she reveals herself to be Grace Monroe and she lets The Apex ransack the car.

## *Book Three - Cult of the Conductor*

### "Le Chat Chalet Car"

The Cat is taking a vacation with Frank and Randall in Le Chat Chalet Car when Grace, Simon, Hazel, and Tuba arrive to escape a snowstorm. She initially tells Grace to leave until she sees Simon and allows them to stay. During their stay she bonds with Hazel, offering to show her how to make tea and inspecting her mysterious non-glowing number. Simon repeatedly tries to tell The Cat off, eventually explaining to the group their past history and her abandonment of him. She does not deny his accusations though she shows clear guilt over it. When the group discovers the snowstorm is actually Randall, they successfully ask him to stop so they can leave. As they leave, she bids a sad farewell to Simon.

### "The Canyon of the Golden Winged Snakes Car"

While reading a book in her cabin during a snowstorm, she is confronted by Simon, who demands help in figuring out what is happening with Grace, claiming she owes him her help after abandoning him. She protests that she did not intentionally abandon him, but is forced to admit she did not go back for him. She reluctantly offers her help, learning about Simon's frustration with Grace's descending number and confusion over whether he should've trusted a British woman he encountered with a number up to her neck. Recognizing her as Amelia, The Cat tells Simon not to trust her while informing Simon that the point of the numbers is to go down – Simon ignores the latter, however, insisting that numbers are power. The Cat criticizes him for getting upset that things aren't going the way he wants them.

After he begs for help by calling her by the name he knew her as, "Samantha," she takes out a device from a hidden safe device to extract Grace’s memories, instructing him on how to use it on Grace and that people can be trapped in their own memory tape. She warns him that sometimes it's better not to look at someone else's memories, but he insists he knows what he is doing. As he walks into the night, The Cat sadly remarks he has no idea.

### "The Origami Car"

Samantha is seen in Grace's memory tape in the Box Car, fleeing from a Ghom with Simon. As Simon recalled, she clambers through one of the boxes to escape, failing to realize Simon could not fit in it and not responding to his cries for help. Subsequently, Simon's life was saved by Grace, who comforted him when he cried at Samantha leaving him behind. In leaving Simon behind for Grace to save him and not coming back, The Cat's actions directly led to the formation of the Apex.

## *Book Four - Duet*

### "The Old West Car"

She is seen in a saloon in an Old West car when Min-Gi Park, Ryan Akagi, and Kez rush in and beg her to hide them from the sheriff. After learning their numbers are synchronized and have not changed, she agrees to hide them but rats them out when the sheriff offers a reward. Later she helps orchestrate a plan to liberate the passenger and succeeds but tells them they owe her.
