Vaggie (Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light)

"No, I don't think this is going to work. But, I love Charlie, and I want to believe in this place as much as she does. As long as she keeps trying, I'll always be by her side. I'm hoping this place works out... For people like you."

- Vaggie to Ren, when questioned on if she thinks redemption is possible.

Vagatha, most commonly known as Vaggie, is the deuteragonist of Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light.

Reborn in Hell as a moth demon following a traumatic life on Earth, Vaggie is the best friend and girlfriend of the Princess of Hell, Charlie Magne, and serves as the manager of the princess' operation, the Hazbin Hotel (formerly the Happy Hotel). A fiercely protective control freak armed with an arsenal of angelic blades and a fierce temper, Vaggie aims to protect Charlie and the hotel crew and do whatever it takes to help the princess succeed in her seemingly unattainable goals.

Personality
Vaggie is the most sensible and prudent out of the main cast, as she constantly strives to keep Charlie and the hotel crew out of as much trouble as possible and generally acts as the voice of reason among them. She is pragmatic, cautious, and loyal, devoting a great deal of her time towards supporting Charlie with her vision for the hotel, and rejecting any proposals that would leave her unable to support the princess, as shown when she rejected Velvet's proposition to join the VVV Overlords, even at the price of earning Velvet's scorn. In contrast to her incredibly idealistic and optimistic girlfriend, Vaggie is the more realistic of the two, as she knows that the denizens of Hell won't listen to Charlie's singing, and (often futilely) attempts to guide Charlie away from humiliation as much as possible. When questioned by Ren on if she truly believes that redemption is possible, Vaggie confessed that she did not fully believe that Charlie's cause was going to be successful, but her loyalty and love for Charlie motivates her to continue supporting the princess and passionately defend the hotel from more unscrupulous sinners, nonetheless.

Vaggie is fairly prudent when it comes to business, trying her hardest to fill her designated role as hotel management by trying to maintain peace within the hotel and its rowdy cast, despite the initial lack of resources and a very run-down property to operate out of. Around the hotel crew, she is heavily depicted as a forthright, strict control freak who frequently orders those around her in order to maintain peace. She objected to Alastor adding a bar to the Happy Hotel on the basis that the hotel is supposed to be a place that discourages sin, and is also a neat freak, ordering the hotel's patients to clean up any messes they have caused. She is also very protective of the hotel's image, lashing out at Angel Dust for participating in a turf war, furiously shouting that his stunt made a mockery of their operation. It is implied that, in many ways, Vaggie views herself as morally superior to most members of the hotel crew, which, while not entirely false, often results in her making rash errors in judgement. This was demonstrated when she took the seven angels under her care and ran off with them following Adina's death. When confronted on why she did this by Charlie, one of Vaggie's justifications was that she was the only one fit to take care of them, since the other hotel members aren't exactly role models.

Although she seems unapproachable at first, Vaggie is very warmhearted, loyal, and sympathetic to those she cares about and is a genuinely good person beneath her grumpy exterior. She is extremely determined to protect everyone associated with the hotel, this includes even the members who vex her, such as Angel Dust. Upon accidentally giving Angel a PTSD flashback by raising her hand at him, Vaggie immediately attempted to apologize and comfort him when she realized what had happened, having been a victim of abuse herself, which led to their first positive interaction. She was also seen comforting Angel by hugging him after Fat Nuggets was killed by Valentino. She is even empathic towards total strangers at times; while fighting Velvet with Angel, Vaggie went out of her way to free Velvet's victims from their torturous doll states, stating that no one deserved to go through the torment Velvet put her victims through. She also grew a friendship with Ren, due to him being one of the more laid-back and quiet members of the hotel crew, and was seen shedding tears at his sacrifice to free Forti. While in Purgatory, she grew to be very protective of the seven angels after Adina's death, protecting them in Purgatory while she was alone with them throughout the eight year timeskip. During her life in Earth, it is heavily implied that Vaggie was extremely protective of her sisters, and frequently attempted to shield them from their father's beatings, and tried to keep them safe from their father's sexual abuse by suffering the abuse in their place.

Although Vaggie is loyal and caring to those she cares for, she is very short on patience and is untrusting and skeptical towards most strangers. She is quick to violence and, much to her detriment, tends to be very reactive, often taking an immediate defensive stance (with an offense at the ready) when it comes to facing potential threats, towards either herself or to the hotel crew. As shown in her interactions with Angel Dust and her confrontation with Velvet, Vaggie is relatively easy to bait past the point of irritation and rash explosiveness. She is fearless while prosecuting potential intruders, as shown when she confronted Alastor, one of Hell's most feared Overlords and a cunning mastermind, at spear-point, even insulting the Radio Demon and attempting to stand in his way, and also confronted Death, the Grim Reaper, in a similar manner during his visit to the hotel.

Although she is not exactly the best caretaker, Vaggie has a soft spot for children, particularly for the seven angels who were under Adina's care until the angel's death, where Vaggie took it upon herself to care for them in her place. When Adina noted how Megara had taken a liking to Vaggie, Vaggie claimed that the children reminded her of her sisters, which explains Vaggie's affection for them. She is very protective of the seven angels, along with Manco, determined to keep them safe from any harm, seemingly as a way to atone for being unable to protect her sisters in life. Just before Vaggie and the hotel crew went to rescue Charlie from Satan's domain, Vaggie gave the seven angels a stuffed bear and told them to focus on it, showing that she has not forgotten how traumatic it can be for children to witness violence.

Angel Dust has implied that Vaggie has an instinctive distrust of men, which is evident in her initial interactions with Fergus and Ren. Given what is currently known about Vaggie's life on Earth, it is most likely that she dislikes men as a result of her father sexually abusing her and her sisters. It is also implied that Vaggie was forced into underage prostitution by her father to support their family, which may have led to more negative interactions with men. Because of these past experiences, she cannot bring herself to trust any man she has recently met. Regardless, Vaggie can come around to men provided that they earn her trust, as she forged a friendship with Angel Dust, Fergus, and especially Ren upon getting to know them better, despite the occasional annoyances from the two formers. Whenever Vaggie finds a man she does trust, she has the tendency to get very attached to them, as displayed in her close friendship with Ren.

Appearance
Vaggie is a slender, humanoid sinner with ashen gray-colored skin. She has long, white hair with small, light, pink stripes towards the end. Her hair silk down in a way that covers the left side of her face. She has a mouth full of sharp teeth, most prominent whenever she is angry. She wears a large pink bow on the back of her head, which often reacts in unison to her emotions, morphing into Devil-like horns when she is angry, neutral when she is calm, and drooping when she is upset. Vaggie's right eye has an ivory white iris with light pink sclera. Her left eye is missing and is replaced by a slate-gray eyepatch with a pink X that floats over her eye, and glows red when she is irate or irritated. Her iris occasionally takes the form of a skull whenever she is angry.

Vaggie's everyday wear consists of a pastel goth-style outfit; a white mini-dress with slate-gray X's on her bust, similar colored scalloped trim to the bottom hem, and a matching belt. She also wears slate-gray evening gloves and a choker of the same color. Her right stocking is pale slate-gray and her left stocking is pale slate-gray alternate with light pink stripes down the length. One of the straps of her dress is off-the-shoulder, revealing a slate-gray bra or tank top underneath. Her design is vaguely themed after a moth. She is occasionally seen wearing skull-themed earrings.

Natural Powers

 * Immortality: As she has already experienced death, Vaggie lives eternally as an undead soul.
 * Nigh-Invulnerability: Vaggie, as a sinner, is incredibly resilient and can easily survive extreme amounts of punishment that would effortlessly kill a human. While fighting the Queen Spider in Purgatory, Vaggie endured being violently hurled into a stone wall after being caught in the queen's pincers, and got back to her feet in seconds no worse for wear. However, Vaggie is still vulnerable to pain and can succumb to her injuries if she reaches her threshold; she was exhausted after her first confrontation with Velvet, and passed out after being attacked by a hoard of Velvet's rabid fanbase. While fighting the Army of the Darkness with the hotel crew during their rescue of Manco, Vaggie was violently struck several feet away by a creature several times her size after taking the hit for Charlie, and was fine afterward, albeit dazed.

Unique Powers

 * Enhanced Strength: Vaggie has demonstrated a considerable amount of physical strength that belies her lean frame. During Charlie's interview on the 666 News, she shoved a nearby cameraman off his chair and several feet away in retaliation for him calling Charlie a "stupid bitch". Later, while defending the hotel from the VVV Overlord's forces, she skewered three goons in a row with one of her spears, and managed to shove said spear through solid concrete in the process. During her and Charlie's confrontation with the Queen Spider, Vaggie struck one of the queen's legs with enough force to sever it from its body.

Abilities

 * Bilingualism: Vaggie can speak both Spanish and English fluently.
 * Hand-to-Hand Combat: Vaggie has demonstrated impressive amounts of skill when it comes to bare-knuckle fighting, although she can get overwhelmed when fighting several targets at once. While defending the Happy Hotel during the VVV Overlords' assault, she was able to fight off five of Vox's henchmen simultaneously before needing to be assisted by Angel Dust. Although she was bested in both of their encounters, Vaggie was capable of going toe-to-toe with Velvet, an Overlord, reacting quickly and even countering a couple of Velvet's attacks, although the doll demon's speed began to overwhelm her. While in the Queen Spider's den, Vaggie was able to fight off a hoard of the Queen Spider's young, although she was again overwhelmed by their sheer numbers.
 * Intellect: Despite having died more recently than other sinners, Vaggie has impressive comprehensive knowledge regarding the hierarchies and history of Hell, particularly those pertaining to her ring of residence, the Pride Ring, and the machinations of the power-jostling Overlords who rule over the ring. She understands the looming dangers of the Overlords, as she greatly feared that harboring Angel Dust would invoke the wrath of Valentino, along with his allies Vox and Velvet. She also is well-versed in the tale of how Alastor became the first mortal soul to harness enough power to begin his hostile takeover of Pentagram City by overthrowing the previous Overlords and banishing them to his torturous pocket dimension.
 * Natural Weaponry: Vaggie possesses sharp teeth that she can use as offensive weapons.
 * Skilled Artist: Vaggie possesses ample drawing skills and has shades of being an above-average artist. While enlisting Angel into the Happy Hotel program, she drew a detailed visualization of the redemption process to present Angel with what he was getting into. It is frequently shown that Vaggie keeps a notebook of drawings that showed her discontent towards Angel Dust, and her love for Charlie. Vaggie also has several paintings and canvases in her room that reveal her to be moderately skilled at art.
 * Weapon Proficiency: As a collector of Exterminator weaponry, Vaggie possesses impressive proficiency when handling weapons, and seems to favor angelic blades. She utilizes throwing daggers with lethal precision, killing two of Velvet's followers in quick succession, and throwing one of her knives at a window lock with pin-point accuracy. Her most preferred weapon is an angelic spear which she can seemingly spawn at will when needing to defend herself or others.

Charlie Magne
Vaggie became best friends with Charlie shortly after the former was sent to Hell; their burgeoning relationship growing to become an intimate one. Vaggie loves Charlie very much, claiming that she loves Charlie more than anything in existence, and the very thought of Charlie puts Vaggie at ease and in a good mood. She is also very protective of Charlie, defending the princess from anyone who insults or intends to harm her; she violently shoved a camera guy for calling Charlie a "stupid bitch", nearly killed Alastor (who was under Satan's influence at the time) with her angelic spear when the Radio Demon nearly killed Charlie, and instinctively threw herself in between Charlie and a creature belonging to the Army of Darkness, taking a violent hit in Charlie's place. Although their relationship is overall very healthy and positive, Vaggie can occasionally get frustrated by Charlie's failure to listen to her advice, as shown when Charlie pitched the Happy Hotel through song on the 666 News, even though Vaggie advised her not to.

Razzle and Dazzle
Despite sharing minimal and sporadic interactions with the two goats, Vaggie is on good terms with Razzle and Dazzle. They protect and care for her as they are aware of how much she means to Charlie.

Angel Dust
"Angel Dust: ...What? Vaggie: 'What?', WHAT?! What were you DOING?! (she rips out her own hair in frustration) Angel Dust: I owed my girl buddy a solid! Isn't that a 'redeeming quality'? Helping friends with stuff? Vaggie: Not with turf wars that result in territorial genocide! Angel Dust: Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred."

- Vaggie chewing Angel out for participating in a turf war.

Vaggie and Angel share a passive-aggressive "frenemy" type relationship with each other. When Charlie consulted Vaggie on enlisting Angel in the Happy Hotel program, Vaggie questioned Charlie's decision to choose Angel of all people as their first patient. When Charlie invited Angel into her limo to discuss their terms, Vaggie attempted to be polite and inquired Angel's name, to which he replied by calling Vaggie a "bitch" while introducing himself, and when Vaggie questioned whether that was necessary, Angel veraciously replied that those words tended to slip out of him. When Vaggie introduced herself and Charlie, Angel burst into laughter at Vaggie's name, mocking how closely it named sounded like "vagina". As a result of Angel's behavior, Vaggie had little to no hope in Angel as a patient and suggested to Charlie that he was no good to them. Angel was very annoyed him that Vaggie didn't consider him worthy, and decided to join their operation.

Vaggie is frequently shown to be very infuriated by Angel's behavior, due to his provocative attitude and his habit of engaging in turf wars with no regard to the image and reputation of the Happy Hotel, as seen when she lashed out at him for engaging in a turf war against Sir Pentious, especially since that incident greatly upset Charlie. Angel often goes out of his way to annoy Vaggie, as he thinks her reactions are hilarious; he playfully taunts Vaggie by continually making fun of her name and playing many practical jokes on her, like gifting Charlie with a dog collar that had Vaggie's name on it.

Despite sharing a very vexatious relationship at first glance, Vaggie and Angel have hints of positivity in their relationship, as Vaggie respects Angel enough to defend him from external threats, as shown when she threatened to kill Alastor with an angelic spear if he "hurt anyone" at the hotel, which included Angel. She also is patient enough to explain things like Alastor's reputation to him when he requested it. As a victim of abuse herself, Vaggie is sympathetic towards Angel over the horrific abuse he has endured at the hands of his former pimp, Valentino. When she unintentionally caused him to have a panic attack while scolding him over his behavior, she showed immediate remorse and attempted to apologize, only for Angel to casually brush her off and pretend that he was alright. Vaggie and Angel are even capable of working together, as shown when they teamed up to free Velvet's doll victims and stop Velvet herself, and although they frequently butt heads and banter along the way, they were successful in getting the job done. Vaggie was one of the many members of the hotel who comforted Angel after he broke down over the death of his pig, Fat Nuggets.

Ren
Vaggie was initially skeptical of Ren as she is with most strangers, but upon learning of his unfortunate life on Earth, she began to quickly ease upon him, with the two forming a burgeoning friendship. Ren's quiet, mostly serious, and reliable personality made Vaggie enjoy his company far more than most of the hotel's rowdy patients, and she preferred to have him by her side when on missions or generally venturing around. Over time, Ren became one of the few men who Vaggie deeply trusted and confided in, as she appreciated his unproblematic behavior at the hotel. Much like the rest of the hotel's staff and patients, she was willing to defend him from external threats, at one point even getting in between Death and Ren when the Grim Reaper had approached him, and advised Ren to not let Death intimidate him after the Grim Reaper had left the two alone, which he was gratified by. Vaggie was even willing to admit a couple of her secrets to Ren, as she confessed to him that she did not think Charlie's operation was going to work, but she hoped it would so that people like Ren could go to Heaven, which visibly moved him. It is implied multiple times that Ren had a crush on Vaggie, which, in the end, she seemed to be aware of.

While doing jobs for Charlie or investigating, Vaggie would regularly bring Ren along with her, believing him to be a more reliable pair of hands than anybody else in the crew. They shared similar beliefs and principles, albeit Vaggie was a little bit more moral than him; at one point, Ren berated Vaggie for being willing to rescue Velvet's doll victims as it would just invoke her even more of Velvet's wrath, although he did agree with her that Velvet's victims did not deserve their fates. Vaggie and Ren were very loyal to each other; while attempting to free the enslaved cambions from their slavedrivers, Ren got himself captured by one of the slave drivers, who began to strangle him. When Vaggie arrived with her spear drawn, the slave driver offered Vaggie money to leave and let him kill Ren, however, Vaggie rather skillfully threw a knife at the slave driver's head, instantly killing him and saving Ren. While getting back up, Ren jokingly told Vaggie that she should have taken money, but expressed his gratitude towards her saving him. Later, Ren thanked Vaggie once again, showing his deep appreciation.

After Limbo's trials deduced that Ren would be the noble soul that Forti needed to be freed, Vaggie desperately attempted to talk him out of it, tearfully saying that he was her friend and that she wanted him to be the first soul they redeemed, to which Ren assured Vaggie that he was. After he had sacrificed himself, Vaggie clung to Charlie in tears, clearly devastated by losing Ren.

Upon returning to the Hazbin Hotel eight years later after escaping Purgatory, Vaggie could be seen finishing up a mural in Ren's memory, placing the wooden block that Ren had inscribed 'R + V' into as the centerpiece, and looking onto the display with a teary smile.

Adina
Vaggie and Adina first interacted when Adina took notice of Megara when the young angel was sleeping on Vaggie's chest. Adina noted Megara's liking to Vaggie, to which Vaggie said that Megara reminded her of her sisters she had on Earth. Adina comforted Vaggie on the sexual abuse she and her sisters endured at the hands of her father, having witnessed her anguish when Satan psychologically tortured her. Vaggie was driven to tears and hugged Adina in response.

When Adina was murdered by Satan, Vaggie was visibly devastated and hurt, as Adina had been endeared to her despite their minimal interactions. Vaggie took it upon herself to care for the seven angels and become their new guardian to honor Adina, and protect them as the warrior angel had did.

Velvet
"Vaggie: (choking as Velvet pins her to a wall) Y- You're a monster... Velvet: No, I'm not! All I wanted was a new bestie, but nooooo! You thought you were soooo high and mighty rejecting me like you did. Well, look at you now! (she begins strangling Vaggie) Awww, you lower demons are such fragile little things. One minute you're fine, and then POOF! You're gone forever. (giggles) The only thing now, is to decide what to do with you. Hmmm... I COULD kill you, but, I mean, what good would that do me? Oh, I got it! Once we're through with your girlfriend, I'm gonna make you my little plaything, cut you open, and play with your body parts. Like the precious, little doll you are.. But not before I bake your little friends into tasty treats and make you EAT 'EM!"

- Vaggie and Velvet during their confrontation.

At some point before the events of the series, Velvet approached Vaggie and excitedly offered her a spot among the VVV Overlords, having seen value in Vaggie's skills. However, Vaggie politely declined so that she could continue supporting Charlie and the Happy Hotel, and likely because she knew very little good things would come out of working with Velvet. Unfortunately, this left Velvet furious and feeling embittered to Vaggie, and she subsequently became Vaggie's primary enemy as a result. Vaggie views Velvet as a "monster", and is horrified and repulsed by the doll demon's sadistic hobbies.

In "Fallout" Velvet and Vaggie confront each other when the VVV Overlords lure the Happy Hotel crew into a confrontation in the destroyed remnant Butcher Town, which Velvet converted into another circus attraction. After a brief fight with each other, Velvet taunted Vaggie into chasing her into a nearby circus tent called "Velvet's Funhouse". Once inside, Vaggie, armed with her angelic spear, went on a hunt for Velvet. During this, the doll demon viciously taunted Vaggie in the Hall of Mirrors, reminding Vaggie of her previous proposition to join the VVV Overlords, and mocked Vaggie by claiming she wasn't tough enough to join the VVV Overlords, which greatly irritates Vaggie. Vaggie was then lured into a colosseum-like room, where she was jumped by hundreds of Velvet's followers, which resulted in Vaggie being savagely assaulted and injured by Velvet's rabid fans, all while Velvet herself watched on with glee.

In "The Encore", Angel Dust and Vaggie team up to take down Velvet when she, Vox, and Valentino attacked the hotel directly with their respective armies. During this, Vaggie and Angel enter Velvet's circus tent from earlier, where they discovered Velvet's "doll" collection, which in reality were dozens, if not hundreds, of sentient dolls, all of whom were formerly sinners that were kidnapped and turned into immobile toys by Velvet for her amusement. Vaggie, disgusted by the display, freed Velvet's victims from their state, believing that no one deserved to experience the misery that Velvet puts her victims through. This greatly angered Velvet herself, who transformed into her Full Demon Form in a fit of rage, and viciously attacked Vaggie and Angel Dust. Velvet then mused over ways she would torture Vaggie as revenge for freeing her victims, including turning her into a doll after killing her friends, baking them into treats, and forcing her to eat them. Fortunately, Angel Dust, Niffty, and Fergus managed to save Vaggie just before Velvet could torture her.

Alastor
"Charlie, listen to me. You can't believe this creep! He isn't just a happy face! He's a deal maker! Pure evil! He can't be redeemed! ...And is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do!"

- Vaggie to Charlie regarding Alastor.

From the moment the Radio Demon stepped foot into the Happy Hotel, Vaggie was immediately skeptical of his intentions and held the Radio Demon at spear-point, having been well aware of his past crimes and reputation as a treacherous deal maker. Prior, she had told Charlie to not let Alastor in upon her informing Vaggie that the Radio Demon was at the front door. While holding him at spear-point, Vaggie threatened to kill him if he harmed anyone in relation to the hotel, and insulted him by calling him a "cheesy, talkshow shitlord". Alastor responded by gently swatting the spear from his face and calmly assuring Vaggie that he would have killed everyone at the hotel the moment he entered if he truly wanted to. Later, Vaggie warned Charlie to never make a deal with Alastor, and insisted to Charlie to Alastor couldn't be redeemed.

Vaggie behaves with disrespectful and distrustful conduct towards Alastor, becoming increasingly worried as Charlie grows to trust him more, and is often exacerbated as Alastor continuously goes out of his way to infuriate her with patronizing remarks and gestures for his personal amusement. Alastor enjoys amusing himself by annoying, mocking, or invading Vaggie's personal space, as he thinks her reactions are hilarious. He constantly shoves her around, plays pranks on her, and at one point slapped her ass during a musical number to get a rise out of her.

When Alastor fell under the influence of Satan, Vaggie did not hesitate to try to kill the Radio Demon with her angelic spear, and nearly did so when he nearly murdered Charlie on the orders of Satan, fatally wounding the Radio Demon by hurling her spear into his chest.

Lucifer Magne
"Vaggie: You haven't won shit. You may have double-crossed everyone you've crossed paths with, but we'll never turn on each other. Lucifer: Is that so? (giggles) And what gives you that impression, Vagatha? Vaggie: The answer is clear as day. As long as Charlie's out there and far away from you, you'll never win. Lucifer: (laughs) The depth of your hope is awe-inspiring! I very much look forward to seeing it dissolve into despair."

- Lucifer and Vaggie.

Vaggie displays nothing but contempt towards Lucifer for his abusive nature towards Charlie, encouraging her to cut Lucifer out of her life due to his negative influence. It is implied that Vaggie was not given Lucifer's blessing to be Charlie's lover and they had dated without his knowledge. During the hotel crew's mission to escape Purgatory, Lucifer took Vaggie and her team as prisoners to interrogate them on where Charlie was, and threatened to brutally murder Vaggie if Fergus continued to insult him, and enjoyed tormenting her along with her team while interrogating them. Vaggie remained undeterred during the session, trying to defend her friends from Lucifer. Later, Vaggie defiantly insisted that Lucifer would never win as long as Charlie was far away from him, to which Lucifer mockingly responded that he anticipated seeing Vaggie's hope turn to despair.

Trivia

 * Her real name, Vagatha, is a play on the name "Agatha", which means "good woman" in Greek. This is rather fitting, as Vaggie one of the few good-hearted souls in Hell.
 * She is of Salvadoran descent.
 * Vaggie's relationship with Charlie is a visual gag on moths being attached to bright lights, as Vaggie, a moth demon, is very attracted to Charlie, who is the brightest demon in Hell.
 * Surprisingly, Vaggie is a very skilled dancer and perhaps the most skilled one of the main cast.
 * Her favorite genre of music is punk and 80s era music, as well as Latino music.
 * Vaggie is perhaps the youngest member of the hotel crew; Of the entire main cast, Vaggie was the only one who died in the 2010s, the year 2014 to be exact, while everyone else died earlier (sans Charlie and Fergus, the former of which was born a demon and is around 2,000 years old, and the latter of which is a fallen angel and over a billion years old).
 * Vaggie was once invited to join the VVV Overlords by Velvet, but declined the offer to continue supporting Charlie, which subsequently sparked Velvet's petty hatred of her.
 * Vaggie appears to be heavily against alcohol, as shown when she strongly objected to the Happy Hotel serving alcohol, outright referring to drinking as a sin. In "The Fading Light", it is shown that Vaggie's father was an alcoholic who sexually abused Vaggie and her sisters, possibly explaining her detestation towards alcohol.
