Patsy Leviathon
Protagonist · Student of the system
Born into the underclass that maintains the visual systems of the Panopticon, Patsy's keen intellect drew her to seeing the unseen: the incentives, the rules, the quiet levers behind the world's spectacle. She is empathetic, historically literate, and battle-tested. The Panopticon itself became her hidden teacher.
Nom de plume: The character Patsy Leviathon is how Dr. Meghan Downes writes herself into the story. The spelling is deliberate — an oblique nod to another white whale.
