Roxxane, or Roxy, is the main female character within the narrative, one of its main protagonists, and one of its main narrators. She is the daughter of Rob, an abusive gambler who owed money to the Vipers, and an unnamed woman who died from a drug overdose. She lived on the streets for a time until she met Rich, the owner of Roxers bar, and he took her in. When the Vipers come to collect on Rob’s debt, he traffics her to them to clear his debt, and Roxy is taken prisoner. Over time, she not only develops an attraction to but also romantic feelings for each Viper, forming a unique bond based on their different emotional needs and sexual desires.

She is described as “twenty-four, five foot six [and having] grey hair [and] brown eyes” (18). She’s also noted to have tattoos across her body and typically wears ripped jeans and band t-shirts. To the Vipers, she is deemed a stunning woman. By the end of the narrative, Roxy is deemed their queen and fully indulges in their power and penchant for violence while also becoming the head of their company’s food and catering department with fifteen bars to her name.
