"*Why does darkness pervade the universe? So we can learn what to do with the light.*"
―Carol Wilcox[src]

"*Some men aren't looking for any of those things. They couldn't care less about riches, or revenge, or sexual pleasure, or perfectionism. Some men just want the universe to kneel before them.*"
―Carol Wilcox to Baby Intelligence on the Dark Lord — one of the most famous quotes of the entire D.I.T. franchise.[src]
**Carol Wilcox Dorber** is a business executive, a friend of Bailey Dennings and Baby Intelligence, and one of the protagonists in The Super Babies Saga. In 2029, shortly after buying a pet dog named Gobbles, she was fired from her job and eventually came into league with Baby Intelligence in Germany. For the next year, Carol acted as a source of wisdom to not only Baby Intelligence, but Lindsay Kellerman and, on a more casual level, Dante Christensen. While Baby Intelligence reflected on the actions of Mr. Stupid NoHead, whom Carol personally detested, she recalled a tale in order to explain to Baby Intelligence that some men "just want to watch the universe kneel before them". At the end of the Second NoHead War, Carol "friend-zoned" Bruce Wright and married Ammon Dorber. She died sometime before 2052.

In *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*, Ammon Dorber mentions that she and Gobbles are both deceased. She also makes a cameo in *Demolition One*.

## Biography

### Early life

"*But what was your ex-boyfriend planning to do once he had you — these numbers — at his beck and call? Why subjugate them?"
"Because it made him feel important?*"
―Baby Intelligence and Carol Wilcox[src]
Carol Wilcox was born in Atlanta, Georgia of the United States of America in 2013. She and her family moved to Greece when she was very young. In high school, she dated a peer who turned out to be controlling and politically ambitious; Carol later reflected that some people looked for nothing but "to watch the universe kneel before them". In adulthood, Carol decided she liked Greece more than Georgia, and remained there after high school, taking a job as a business executive for an undisclosed organization.

### Second NoHead War

#### War on the horizon

In 2029, Carol bought a pet dog from a shelter, whom she named Gobbles. However, as the dog was irksome to pretty much anyone, she rarely took him with her outside their home.

#### Meeting Baby Intelligence

"*Some men aren't looking for any of those things. They couldn't care less about riches, or revenge, or sexual pleasure, or perfectionism. Some men just want to watch the universe kneel before them.*"
―Carol Wilcox to Baby Intelligence about Mr. Stupid NoHead[src]
It is unknown where she worked, but eventually Carol Wilcox was fired after "a particularly rough day with her boss". Consequentially, she fled to the estate of an old friend who sheltered her for a time while she mused on her next course of action, as she was unwilling to side with either the NoHeads or the S.M.S.B. However, when she learned that Baby Intelligence had been intercepted in Germany, she chose to follow his trail, bringing Gobbles along, who had been angry at never being allowed to leave the house.

Wilcox appeared to be aware of the dark presence in the Unknown Countries as she somehow learned of an alliance between the Deaformas and the Dark Lord Mr. Stupid NoHead. Packs of war robots had been seen gathering in the fortress with their numbers increasing every day. Wilcox also knew that dark and foul things were naturally drawn to the Dark Lord, not to mention Willie the Banker's allegiance to him.

Her search for Baby Intelligence came to fruition when she found him freezing during a storm, and beckoned him with a finger inside her tent. When he came inside with Baby Strength and Force Baby, she made them supper while telling Baby Intelligence what his archenemy, the Dark Lord Mr. Stupid NoHead, had been up to according to the news, while Force Baby played with Gobbles and Baby Strength joined in the conversation. While Baby Intelligence reflected on the impossible actions of his nemesis, Wilcox recalled a tale from her high school experience in order to explain to Baby Intelligence what leads men to do evil, ranking villainous motives into five categories, and how this still meant that some men could not be understood, and only "want the universe to kneel before them".

Before they left, Wilcox gave Baby Intelligence her phone number and told him that if he didn't know why he felt the lives consumed in the war were worth it, he should find out for himself. Baby Intelligence asked how he could repay her, and she said that finishing his quest would be payment enough.

#### Reemployment

Carol Wilcox continued her venture with Gobbles following Baby Intelligence's departure, as she was still unemployed and homeless. On the road with her dog, she had an encounter with inumatus, creatures who suspected her to have harbored Baby Intelligence since they smelled his stench on the canvas on her tent. Wilcox later claimed she would "never forget the smell of those awful creatures".

Wilcox escaped, and not too long afterwards, she met a college student named Bailey Dennings, who, in spite of being much more interested in architecture than accounting, took Wilcox to meet her boss, Anthony Ruth. He gave Wilcox work on the condition that she was able to go to the Dancing Dorm and acquire at least two thousand dollars there.

Eventually, Carol found her way into the Dancing Dorm and successfully acquired the money. She performed so spectacularly that the inhabitants suspected she was the *Duod*, one of six mystic individuals who would allegedly team up and repair the Great Ruby of Red Feathers someday. On her way out, however, she ran into Baby Intelligence, Baby Strength, and Force Baby once again, and was able to get them into the complex by using her newfound status. She proceeded to take off with a particularly impatient co-worker. Wilcox's actions led to the S.M.S.B. acquiring the second scroll.

#### Divining the third scroll

Having surpassed expectations at the Dancing Dorm, Carol Wilcox ultimately took up residence in a humble apartment in Yonkers, New York, where Bailey Dennings already lived. Dennings became her roommate and the two began bonding quickly. Not too long afterwards, she sent an e-mail to Baby Intelligence providing her new address and inviting him and the others to pay her a visit.

She later helped them divine the third scroll and they realized it was on Mount Everest. She offered to help with their forthcoming and extremely perilous trek, but Baby Intelligence denounced her for thinking she was one of them now and got so mad that he slapped Carol in the face, and left, greatly agitated.

#### Crodela match

"*I thought you'd turned your back on me."
"Never, Baby Intelligence. Never.*"
―Baby Intelligence and Carol Wilcox[src]
Less than a week after the altercation, Baby Intelligence defeated Mr. Stupid NoHead alongside Lindsay Kellerman and Sir Edgar Caravan in the hellish domain of Tsala after Baby Strength had been abducted and brought to the realm. The fall of the Dark Lord ultimately put a definitive hold onto the war. Carol Wilcox had already been wondering how she could prove to Baby Intelligence that she still cherished their friendship and loved him, and she ultimately ended up visiting Elijah Dorber, the brother of Crodela Team Captain Ammon Dorber. She bribed him to convince his younger brother to strongly consider Baby Intelligence for making the team, as she genuinely believed it was the best thing for him. Subsequently, Carol chose to go with Baby Intelligence to the match. During the game, Carol discovered Baby Intelligence's coach, Ammon Dorber, in person, who awed her with his handsomeness and playing ability. After the game, Carol and Bailey Dennings went to go find Baby Intelligence on his bed in the hospital wing, and the two were quick to make their peace. She proceeded to go after Coach Dorber, telling him that he played incredibly. They began to talk, walking towards a bunker with Carol telling him of the time she saw a great blood-moon and why she thought it foreshadowed something religious, and Dorber telling her that he was Buddhist. Baby Intelligence watched them talking from a distance.

#### Merchant Alley

Baby Intelligence later found Carol Wilcox at Merchant Alley.

During the trip, Wilcox and Baby Intelligence encountered Hell Burnbottom, who mocked Baby Intelligence's skills. After a brief fight, Burnbottom and Baby Intelligence soon became separated before Burnbottom tore off his own hands, revealing dark skeletal hands. Burnbottom mocked Baby Intelligence and fled.

### Yellowstone Offensive

#### Supporting the Holy Mackerels

Carol Wilcox later made an offensive joke about Mexico, being unaware it was Dorber's country of origin, and he became furious and claimed he would never speak with her again. In spite of this, he forgave her shortly afterwards and apologized for his perceived overreaction. Hoping to make it up to her, he gave her a free ticket to the next game, against Asia. During the Mackerels' match against the Conniving Cows, Wilcox became very concerned when Dorber fell ill, forcing him not to play. She became very concerned, especially when she learned that Urquhart would be assuming his responsibilities temporarily. The Mackerels won, much to Wilcox's delight and relief.

#### Battle of the east ridge and aftermath

During the fight that ensued, Wilcox was struck in the head by a Deaforma's Lash intended for her torso. She fell unconscious, leaving Baby Intelligence to sadly presume her dead, as no one had survived the Lash before. As soon as she regained consciousness, Wilcox tried to return to the Grand Army, having found herself alone and, to her horror, missing Gobbles, who had fled from the Deaformas to warn Lewis. Suffering from a concussion and a brief period of memory loss, she moved away from the battle site. Eventually, she ran into two patrol members from the Grand Army, who had recovered Gobbles and were pleased to take her back.

Carol returned to the Police Grand Army hoping to locate Baby Intelligence as quickly as possible and tell him she was not dead and that Gobbles was safe. Having returned in time to participate in the climactic Battle of the Golden Gates, where she tried, but failed, to him. She proceeded to charge the dark forces, screaming encouragement to her dog as she fired at the oncoming hordes.

#### Reunion with Baby Intelligence

The battle ended with a minor victory for the Grand Army. Wilcox and Gobbles followed the rest of the officers to camp on the outskirts of Los Angeles. When she was reunited with Baby Intelligence, she was playing the flute and sharing a hot dog with Gobbles. She reflected on the state she and the S.M.S.B. were in, on how they must "bloat [their] sliver of hope". Lindsay Kellerman was doubtful of this, but Wilcox insisted that they must continue holding on to what they were fighting for each other and the fulfillment of their quest.

### Victory in sight

#### Battle of Yellowstone

"*It was Carol. She's remarkable! Everyone was captured and shackled, and Burnbottom's brothers told us it was time to end our pointless riot. But then she turned up and shot down two Rockets, and they didn't know where she came from, and in the distraction the Master rearmed himself. She's a hero!*"
―Lewis[src] File:Nine-scon.jpg
On returning, Wilcox insisted on accompanying Bladepoint, as she felt the best place for her to be was one where she could help ensure Baby Intelligence's safety, as she noted that unlike several authority figures in the Grand Army, he would actually listen to her. During the Battle of Yellowstone, Wilcox fought alongside Sheriff Bladepoint after Baby Intelligence was cut off from her viciously fighting Hell Burnbottom. While the rest of the team took a shortcut, Wilcox took a shortcut of her own — an elevator — up to the third floor. She yelled at Optica not to retrieve her bib, only to be thoroughly ignored as Optica darted out and back into the battlefield. Showing up suddenly at the doorway with the Advance Guard, Wilcox shot down two of Mean King's Rockets before fleeing, creating a distraction for Bladepoint to seize a sword and free the rest of the team, all of whom had been taken prisoner.

#### Reunion with friends

She began teaching Kellerman to read. When Gobbles trotted into the room, he bit off a page of the picture book they were reading, *The Three Little Pigs*, angering Wilcox and prompting her to send Gobbles out.

Wilcox also began speaking more openly with Dorber, especially after he revealed that he did not want her to endure the publicity of the knowledge that the Captain of "one of the strongest amateur teams out there" was madly in love with her. He explained to her that if the Holy Mackerels could beat the Egregious Erutuls and the Galloping Grenades in the final match of the season, then they would surely capture the Crodela Cup. Wilcox witnessed the Mackerels' defeat of the Erutuls. Other results went their way, meaning that, in the final game of the season against the Grenades, if they could win the climactic game of the season, they would win the Cup. Wilcox called the Grenades "accursed", causing Dorber to giggle girlishly. In the meantime, the Police Grand Army was finally ready to march upon the NoHeads at the Eastern Field. Dorber promised he would go because he loved her and was willing to risk his life for what she cherished. Wilcox claimed that she was not going, causing Dorber to nod gravely. He thanked her for respecting his wishes and finally confessed his love for her. Confused, Wilcox asked him to hold her.

#### Battle of the Eastern Field

Carol was one of several people who chose to fight for the Police Grand Army during the Battle of the Eastern Field. She returned to the Sanctuary with Bailey Dennings and Daniel Murrell, where she encountered Baby Intelligence, who inadvertently confessed that he had been listening in on her last conversation with Coach Dorber by asking what she was doing there. Blushing, she said it was a long story, and she proceeded to watch Baby Intelligence's feeble speech, soon to be interrupted by Dennings, who roused everyone to action.

Coach Dorber initially did not participate, but he was ultimately unable to bear leaving his lover to face such danger without him. Apparently, Wilcox realized this, because she began looking for him, only to encounter a battle-weary Baby Intelligence, whom she began yelling at until he came closer to her. After he projected a Shield behind her, she asked him where Dorber was, but the superhero had no idea. He in turn asked her where the Lord of the North could be found. She said he was last seen firing recklessly at enemy troops with his mutantry. As a rock glanced off the Shield protecting her, Baby Intelligence thanked her and continued fighting, as she did likewise.

#### Funeral of Sheriff Bladepoint

"*I'm really sorry, Baby Intelligence. I know how much he meant to you."
"He's the one who taught me. And yet his corpse, it disappeared pretty quickly. There's nothing left of him, which is a good thing.*"
―Carol Wilcox and Baby Intelligence[src]
During the funeral of Sheriff Bladepoint, Carol Wilcox stood forlornly next to Ammon Dorber, having realized he had come to fight against her wishes. Dorber defended himself by saying that he knew she was bluffing, but they did not continue the subject, so Wilcox had yet to speak up. She eventually walked over to comfort Baby Intelligence, who felt very lonely during the cremation. He told her he was glad there was nothing left of Bladepoint's corpse, and in response, she spotted a wishing star and revealed to Baby Intelligence just how badly she wanted the Police Grand Army to win the war.

When the sun rose, Wilcox, who had been sleeping in a bunker near Dorber's, came out to greet him. She apologized for lying to him, filling him with understanding and prompting him to hug her, realizing in turn just how little she doubted his loyalty. He resolved to return to Woodbury, and Wilcox promised she would come watch the finals of the International Cup. She joked that she would even get on a Skater, play against him, and win.

#### The Crodela Cup

"*There are hundreds of people to thank [...] I believe there is still one person, one very special young woman, who has not been acknowledged yet. She offered us sanctuary twice and, I'd reckon has done more than any Fobble has to help win the fight. This medal is awarded to Carol Wilcox, without whom none of us would be here right now. [...] I couldn't have done this without you, Carol. You are one special girl, and I'm proud to have you in our league."
"Thanks, Baby Intelligence. I only wish I could have turned up more often.*"
―Baby Intelligence commending Carol after the war[src]
Despite saying she would come to watch the match, Carol Wilcox soon followed Ammon Dorber to Woodbury. While preparing for the ultimate game, Dorber gave Wilcox a tour of his hometown, during which time they "shared something extremely intimate". Two days later, Wilcox watched the final match between the Holy Mackerels and the Galloping Grenades. When Baby Intelligence and Kyle Merrill won the game and by extension the Crodela Cup for their team, Wilcox was seen pouting. During the post-match meeting, Wilcox listened to Baby Intelligence's wise words of advice for the team and spontaneously kissed Ammon Dorber. Wilcox was over the moon, as was Dorber, as he had been harboring feelings for her all year.

Wilcox later attended the victory celebration following the end of the war with Dorber. The two were seen holding hands, with Wilcox laying her head on Dorber's shoulder. Clint announced that the Grenades had been caught cheating live and committing a serious breach, meaning the Mackerels had won the Crodela Cup fair and square. The crowd went wild; Wilcox was seen "jumping up and down like a lunatic". Subsequently, Baby Intelligence publicly acknowledged her for her contribution to fighting the Dark forces, and briefly commended Gobbles as well. He awarded her the third-ever Medal for Loyalty and Service.

### Post-war

Sometime after the war, Carol married Ammon Dorber, though their relationship apparently sired no children. In 2035, Carol attended the wedding of Daniel Murrell and Bailey Dennings. Carol remained in contact with her old friends into the 2040s, as in circa 2041, she walked Jonathan Murrell, the son of Bailey and Daniel, to school. In 2043, Kellerman told new S.M.S.B. member Red X to "tell Carol and Ammon we love them" when she was preparing to go to Greece. It was around this time that Gobbles passed on, as a result of old age.

### Death

At some point between 2050 and 2052, Carol Dorber passed away by unknown means, living to be in her forties. Through her will, Master Intelligence acquired her Giggel-themed backpack, which he brought with him to Transylvania Quarters to hide the Orb of Power from the Gladiator. She also left several novels to Lindsay Kellerman, as she had known Kellerman had dearly wanted to learn to read during the Second NoHead War.

### Alternate Universe

Midway through 2030, Bruce Wright blamed Carol Wilcox for encouraging Baby Intelligence to go after Sebiscuits Cardarphen, leading to the latter killing the S.M.S.B. Grandmaster. He left a distraught Wilcox behind and married Kathrine Quintan. Meanwhile, Wilcox grew up to be a solemn woman.

## Physical appearance

 File:Carol2.jpg

"*She was tall and slender, with light brown hair and blue eyes reminding Baby Intelligence inevitably of Annabeth Black. Like the evildoer, this woman looked like she was in her mid-twenties.*"
―Description of Carol[src]
Carol Wilcox is tall, beautiful, and slender. She has blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. Her lips seem to be continually dry and parched, as Baby Intelligence has noticed several times that her lower lip is bleeding before she does. She is usually seen in rather casual and conventional clothing. Despite her physical differences to NoHead Annabeth Black, Baby Intelligence describes her several times as resembling Annabeth somewhat, though Carol was as pretty as Annabeth was ominous.

Carol is 1.75 meters tall and weighed 64 kilograms. Her Body Mass Index was 20.8.

## Personality

"*A former business executive with mysterious origins, Carol Wilcox is a devoted friend to Baby Intelligence. Selfless and persistent, Carol has led an uncertain and courageous life to this point. Attractive and physically able, Carol possesses the invincible soul and courage of youth. She is a skilled fighter and expert gunner, in spite of her lack of training. Finding herself by chance as a key player in the fate of the S.M.S.B., Carol finds the determination to make her mark and prove her worth.*"
―Official description on D.I.T. Website[src]
Carol was compassionate, intelligent, tolerant, levelheaded, peaceful, selfless, brave, kind, and good-natured. In spite of what she'd been through, she managed to retain an ability to see the good in almost everybody and was extremely forgiving. Carol also had an excellent sense of humor that irritated and annoyed most of her enemies. She felt no shame and could make a joke out of any situation. While her humor became more subtle and less insensitive as an adult, it still had a cutting edge to it. Carol was extremely courageous and soulful and was determined to do what was right.

Wilcox was well-defined by her determination to make her mark on society and prove her worth. Her time spent with Baby Intelligence helped her become assured of herself, as well as giving her the determination to make her mark on society and prove her worth. As she felt Baby Intelligence was helping bring out her better side just as much as she was his, she finally admitted that the best place for her to be during a battle was at his side, to ensure his safety.

Carol has also, on several occasions, proven that she is persistent and has an unbreakable will, which is speculated to have allowed her to survive a direct strike to the head from the Deaforma's Lash. She was determined to woo Ammon Dorber, who she had a crush on but only regarded her as a friend. She initially refused to side with either the Police Grand Army nor the Order of the NoHeads, as she firmly believed that their goals would only bring the world to ruin. Indeed, Dorber speculated that she hated the NoHeads *"a little more than the next person"*. This in turn goes to show just how immune she was to the allure of evil.

Nonetheless, she suffered deep-seated feelings of shame and fear of rejection which, in certain situations, led her to consider backing down. Her greatest weakness was that, in her desperate longing to belong and be liked, she was neither as brave or honest as she should have been at times.

Carol was also shown to have a habit of swearing, and while this was mitigated to the extent of not frequently dropping f-bombs by the time she was in high school, she was still prone to cussing more often than the next person. In 2030, she called Kenny something that caused Lewis to exclaim: "CAROL!". Also, after Telekinibabe insulted her, Carol told the baby to go "someplace less nice". After Bailey joked that the destruction of the Necrehulk "was pretty lit", Baby Intelligence swore that she "said something about ducks under her breath".

Carol gave a boy a try in high school, but was surprisingly undaunted upon breaking up with him after realizing she was going out with a sociopathic megalomaniac. Going into adulthood she was convinced she loved Ammon Dorber.

## Abilities

* **Expert marksman**: In spite of her apparent lack of training, Carol Wilcox was a very skilled marksman, having perfected her use of a pistol by the time the Second NoHead War broke out.
* **Expert musician**: While not a very well known skill of hers, Carol has shown adequate aptitude for music and would sing when she was in a particularly good or bad mood. She also possessed skills in playing the piano, flute, and possibly other musical instruments as well.

## Possessions

* **Binoculars**: Carol owned a pair of binoculars.
* **Flute**: Carol had a flute she carried on her person at all times.
* **Wilcox family tent**: Carol owned a tent which was almost impervious to heavy rain and vicious winds.

## Relationships

### Gobbles

Gobbles was Carol's large cocker spaniel pet dog since 2029. She described him as being hyperactive. Carol stated that Gobbles annoyed other animals, such as Achilles, and had to be kept away from them. Though Carol often seemed annoyed with Gobbles' manic behavior, it was clear she loved him, and enjoyed having an dog of her own.

### Family

#### Parents

 File:Carol Wilcox's father.jpg   File:Carol Wilcox's mother.jpg
Carol's relationship with her parents was a healthy one. Both of them would consistently read to her, especially her mother, even after she learned how to read herself, something Celeste helped teach her to do. When her mother read, she would do so in an even and thoughtful tone, making her daughter feel at peace, making her different from her father, who read in a dramatic and engaging tone, both of which she enjoyed immensely. Carol was devastated when Celeste died. In her grief, she hid away some of her favorite books in her closet, calling them "Mama's books". When she read one of them in private, she could hear Celeste's voice reading softly to her.

#### Ammon Dorber

"*What's he want from her?"
"Nothing. He just likes her, I guess. Coach Dorber is so kind. [...] She doesn't have any negative reactions to it, if anything, I think she's honored.*"
―Unnamed prisoner and Baby Intelligence regarding Ammon's apparent feelings for Carol Wilcox[src]
Carol was drawn to Ammon Dorber's good looks during a Crodela match and immediately expressed awe at his playing ability. After the game, Carol followed him and introduced herself, telling him that he played incredibly. The two began talking and realized they had a lot in common. After this match, Carol realized she already had feelings for him, though when she vented this to Baby Intelligence she only confused him. She later made an offensive joke about Mexico (Dorber's country of origin), and he became furious and claimed he would never speak with her again. In spite of this, he forgave her shortly afterwards. To compensate for his perceived overreaction, he gave her a free ticket to the next game.

Initially, Carol grew increasingly agitated when she thought Dorber was either holding back or pretending to reciprocate her feelings "for professional reasons", as he strongly denied having any romantic attachment to her. However, the truth was that Dorber strongly denied his certainly existent feelings because of his popularity and lack of desire to make her endure the inevitable publicity that would have come with a famous athlete being romantically attracted solely to her. Ironically, Baby Intelligence eventually realized she was probably honored by receiving so much attention from such a young, famous, and attractive athlete. Despite this, he finally gave into both his belief of how alike they were and his physical attraction to her. Carol was very touched when he realized he could not bear to know she was fighting the Dark forces without him, and would rush to the Battle of the Eastern Field solely for her sake. She lied that she wasn't going, as she didn't want him to die for any reason. When he came anyway, having learned to recognize when she was bluffing, she apologized for lying to him, which filled him with understanding and prompted him to hug her, realizing in turn just how little she doubted his loyalty. After Baby Intelligence comforted him over losing the Crodela Cup, she spontaneously made out with Dorber for the first time. They also attended the victory celebration after the Second NoHead War together. Eventually, Ammon would become her husband, prompting her to take his surname as her own. Apparently, they had no children.

### Friends

#### Baby Intelligence

"*Who the heck is Carol Wilcox?"
"A friend of mine. She would die for me. I would die for her. But…*"
―Lee and Baby Intelligence[src]

Carol had a strong relationship with Baby Intelligence. Initially, he distrusted her owing to no fault of her own, even though Carol felt they were both doing each other the same favor: they were helping bring out the better side of each other's intense yet simplistic personalities. Eventually, he felt comfortable enough around her to trust her with his life, which he proved during the Battle of the Eastern Field, and to vent to her his greatest fears. Carol, in turn, sincerely acknowledged Baby Intelligence as "the greatest superpowered being in the world". Baby Intelligence later admitted that his appreciation for her stemmed from the fact that she fulfilled the vital role in his life that Annabeth Black had performed as a double agent and would only have continued to "get his back" at the cost of him joining the Darkness. She also comforted him during Sheriff Bladepoint's funeral, expressing her awareness of how much Baby Intelligence's mentor meant to him. The two parted ways after the end of the war.

When Carol died, she left him her backpack in her will.

#### Lindsay Kellerman

Carol was very fond of Baby Intelligence's sidekick, Lindsay Kellerman. Lindsay trusted Carol enough that she told her things before she told them to her Master, including her urgent desire to learn to read at a young age. Carol began teaching her this skill. When she passed on, she left her a small stock of chapter books.

#### Baby Strength and Force Baby

Carol Wilcox was good friends with Baby Strength. The two met in Carol's tent during the search for the Chosen One. Carol admired him and sheltered him twice during the hunt, albeit also on the behalf of Baby Intelligence, and he was very grateful for her support. He was the first of the trio to notice that Carol had some emotional issues and severely underestimated herself, and encouraged her to be more confident, and encouraged his cousin Force Baby to do likewise. Both of them became allies of the Police Grand Army, and fought together in the Battle of the Golden Gates and the Battle of Yellowstone. They remained in touch after the war.

Carol was also friends with Force Baby, despite not being as close to him as she was to his cousin. She met him in her tent during the search for the Chosen One. Carol admired him and sheltered him twice during the hunt, albeit also on the behalf of Baby Intelligence, and he was very grateful for her support. Force Baby was encouraged by Baby Strength to try and help Carol become more confident as all three of them became close allies of the Police Grand Army.

#### Other members of the S.M.S.B.

 File:FCB promo Optica.png
Carol Wilcox met Optica when she joined the S.M.S.B. and they both became allies of the Police Grand Army, and fought together in the Battle of the Golden Gates and the Battle of Yellowstone. While not as close to Optica as some other members, Carol still cared deeply for her well-being, as she yelled at her not to retrieve her bib, only to be thoroughly ignored. They remained in touch after the war.

#### Bailey Dennings

"*Yeah, this is Bailey. We're super chill. She's such a dork, but I love her anyway.*"
―Carol talking about Bailey[src]
One of Carol's closest friends (if not best friend) was Bailey Dennings, who was also her closest business partner under Professor Ruth and her roommate for a time. The two agreed on pretty much everything and constantly operated together, such as when they obsessively studied the Dam of Demolitions. It is clear that Carol is grateful for Bailey not only bringing about her reemployment but allowing her to live with her, whereas Bailey appreciates Carol's loyalty. Bailey also tried to get Carol to relax, joking with her on several occasions and getting a stark variety of reactions to her sense of humor from Carol.

#### Other friends from work

Carol and Daniel Murrell seemed to have a good relationship, and hence also had a good relationship with Jonathan through Carol's best friend and Jonathan's mother, Bailey. Carol walked Jonathan to school on his first day.

#### Anthony Ruth

Carol first met Professor Anthony Ruth when she was unemployed and seeking a new job. Ruth saw potential in her and offered to hire her if she could secure money from the Dancing Dorm, which she did successfully. From there, Carol seemed to have established a good relationship with her boss, who remained that for most of Carol's life.

### Enemies

"*She'll do anything to get rid of the Dark Lord.*"
―Force Baby[src]
Carol had always had a strong hatred for Mr. Stupid NoHead and hated his guts. His unspeakable actions initially haunted Carol, but eventually spurred her to rise to her full potential. Even after his death, Carol fought against Mr. Stupid NoHead's followers countless times during the Second NoHead War.

Annabeth Black was one of the most fanatically loyal followers of the NoHead ideology; Carol initially knew her as the woman who was very similar to her and who cruelly played Baby Intelligence. Although she never had any direct contact with the girl, Carol showed direct contempt and fury for Annabeth's actions throughout the Second NoHead War.

## Behind the scenes

Carol Wilcox is the favorite character of D. Isaac Thomas' mother, Rachel Thomas.

## Trivia

* Carol is a light reflection of Annabeth Black.
