Ruslue

While Ragdoll is the most active antagonist in Don't Speak Ill of The Listening, Ruslue is a much bigger threat. She is ambitious in her goals of taking over all of Feanthon and will do anything to get her way. She is incredibly manipulative, which has caused Ragdoll to be loyal to her even after the trauma she put her through. She is considered dead by many as she is currently trapped in another dimension, called Limbo.

History
In the year 3, Lionel left Limbo and founded Feli. Ruslue left one year later, married Lionel, and became the first lady. This was the first marriage ever. She began the Feli Experiments in secret, which used magic channeled from the portal to Limbo to turn normal citizens of Feli into mutant super soldiers. Ruslue made plans to take over Feli by assassinating her husband, which she employed Ragdoll to help with. She promised Ragdoll she would have a special place in the government once they ruled the world. However, Ruslue betrayed her and killed her friends before putting her into the Feli Experiments. The Armadillan Kingdom found out about these experiments and king Armadillo declared war. At the end of the Great War, Armadillo personally fought Ruslue and banished her to Limbo. As Ragdoll is still loyal to Ruslue, she actively tries to bring her back to Feanthon.

Relationships
Ruslue's relationship with Ragdoll is a key factor in Don't Speak Ill of The Listening. Ragdoll is determined to get Ruslue out of Limbo so Ruslue can fulfill her promise of taking over the world with her. Before she was banished, Ruslue was extremely manipulative to Ragdoll. She was also manipulative to Lionel before she killed him. Most mutants despise her.

Trivia

 * Her name is a portmanteau of the words "Russian Blue," referring to the breed of cat she is based on.
 * When Ragdoll says not to speak ill of the listening, she is referring to Ruslue as "the listening."
 * This is based on the phrase "don't speak ill of the dead." Ruslue is often thought of as dead, though she technically is still alive inside of Limbo. This is why she is "the listening" and not "the dead."
 * This quote is where the title of the webcomic comes from.
 * She is one of the only characters who is not a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
