-	~~Judy was summoned by~~ [[Charlie]] ~~for many of~~ the ~~same reasons that Parson Gotti~~ was. Her summoning was directly responsible for the croaking of [[Bell]], ruler of [[Easteros]]. After attuning to the [[Arkenshoes]], which she had taken from Bell's body, she infiltrated [[Westeregg]], destroyed [[Blair]], ~~siezed~~ the [[Arkendish]] and took it to [[Charlie]].	+	===Plot===
		+	A [[side]] named [[el-Efbaum]] had been long trapped in a deadlock with two tightly allied sides named [[Easteros]] and [[Westeregg]]. Upon forming an alliance with [[Haffaton]], [[Charlie]] invented the [[Summon Perfect Warlord Spell]], using [[Haffaton]]'s [[Thinkamancer]] and [[Predictamancer]] as well as [[el-Efbaum]]'s [[Findamancer]] and [[Lookamancer]]. The [[warlord]] they summoned was Judy Gale. Her summoning was directly responsible for the croaking of [[Bell]], ruler of [[Easteros]]. After attuning to the [[Arkenshoes]], which she had taken from Bell's body, she infiltrated [[Westeregg]], destroyed [[Blair]], seized the [[Arkendish]] and took it to [[Charlie]] as per Haffaton's agreement with el-Efbaum.
		+
		+	[[Maxwell]], Haffaton's Thinkamancer, was able to imbue several golem units with [[life]], and they became fast friends with Judy.
		+
		+	Eventually, [[Olive Branch]], one of Charlie's own children, betrayed el-Efbaum to Haffaton. However, Judy chose to let Charlie go, much to Olive's displeasure.
		+
		+	At some point, [[ruler]]ship of Haffaton passed on from [[Lex Doothis]] to Judy. Olive Branch betrayed her ruler, kept Judy in a drugged stupor with the [[heroine buds]] at the [[Olive Garden]], and used her as a puppet ruler. Olive also caused the death of most of Haffaton's casters, including Maxwell, which caused Judy's golem friends to revert to non-sapience.
		+
		+	[[Maya Calendar]] had [[predicted]] that a warlord named [[Jillian]] was [[Fate]]d to [[croak]] the ruler of Haffaton. In an attempt to ensure that Judy Gale would be the one croaked, Olive took away the [[Arkenshoes]] to prevent Judy from simply escaping to her old world. But, [[Wanda Firebaugh]] was able to use [[Findamancy]] to recover them, allowing Judy to return home. As a result of Judy's departure, her [[Heir Designate]], Olive Branch became the new ruler of Haffaton.

	It is known for a fact that Judy comes from another world. She could be a native of Earth, and was brought to [[Erfworld]] for many of the same reasons [[Parson]] has been. This would be in keeping with the Wizard of Oz references that this character seems to be heavily involved in. However, she is unusually short for a [[Stupidworlder]] and her name is the sort of reference Parson would be capable of recognizing as one of Erworld's jokes, which implies that she might come from a different version of earth than the one Parson comes from. Or she may have been summoned in part because of her familiarity with L. Frank Baum's fictional world of Oz, in the same way Parson Gotti was summoned because of his fondness for breakfasting on marbits. Judy Gale may not be her birth name--she may have acquired a second, Erfworldian name, similar to how Parson acquired the title Lord Hamster.

		+
		+	Since Judy was summoned by the same spell as Parson, and in his case, it gave him the [[caster]] [[special]], Judy Gale was almost certainly a potential caster herself. However, Parson's ability had to be unlocked by examining an unrolled [[scroll]] before he could use it, and [[Wanda]] was never actually certain whether Judy Gale was one, which means that she might not have experienced the necessary circumstances to unlock it.

The [[Titan]]s' [[Carnymancy]] tampered with the bracer, giving a chance of [[zero]], so as to dissuade Parson from taking the option. But Charlie's Carnymancy fought against it, allowing the true odds to flash briefly. The bracer revealed that Parson is indeed a caster and had a 98% chance of successfully casting the scroll.
