The [[Clockwork Cherub]]s first | Madame Tarsa owned a stall on the [[Interdimensional Black Market]], [[Madame Tarsa's Marvelous Dolls and Automatons]]. Because Tarsa herself was too busy, it was instead manned entirely by her creations, including a [[Marionette (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|marionette wearing a jester's outfit]] who acted as the vendor and a [[mechanical pig]] who collected the money from the sales. [[Darius]] and [[Tracker-764]] encountered this stall when they visited the Black Market on their way to the [[Cupid Homeworld]], with Darius reluctantly buying a [[ventriloquist's dummy (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|cursed ventriloquist's dummy]] with the capacity to steal people's voices from them, which was then traded to the [[ship-parts seller (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|ship-parts seller]] for [[CS-NA]] and a [[210K Twin-Carbonoid Dualtech Engine|new engine]] for [[Tracker-764's Void Ship]].

The [[Clockwork Cherub]]s first encountered Madame Tarsa in earnest by accident when [[Pessimist's Fog Ship]] transported [[Pessimist-242]] and [[Larrikin-1029]] to a random dimension which turned out to be the [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa]]. After various adventures, the two ended up participating in a sword-fight against Tarsa. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') By the time of the end of the [[Rifts Crisis]], the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] were familiar with Tarsa, but they were ambivalent towards her because she kept sending them [[Lord Thymon]] plushies. However, she proved instrumental to putting an end to the [[Rift|Rifts Crisis]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') | |||
