Edie Sawyer was arguably the most popular member of the team in real life AND in the book’s continuity, even though she only lasted for half of the run.

Certainly my favorite of the bunch, she was a murderous, shallow, self-serving, fame-obsessed, drug addicted, kinda slutty, narcoleptic teleporter. She was also quite cold and harsh until she had her inevitable character arc where she falls in love, becomes a little nicer and then dies.

But even in death, she’s still a major component of the series, as the series recognizes her popularity within the series. To be honest, when U-Go Girl dies, the book does take a bit of a dive for me. The tone becomes less fun and a bit more cynical and sinister. The previous characters to have died were superfluous but U-Go Girl was kind-of a major reason to read the title.
