Toia is a Bestia Plena who becomes one of Meg Maddison's closest friend during her captivity at Rocosa and Sometria. She is the novel's most fully realised Bestia character: a young woman who has never known anything other than slavery, who internalises its values completely, and whose death during Meg's escape attempt is the story's starkest indictment of the system that created her. Her tragedy is that she is the "perfect Bestia" — obedient, unquestioning, loyal — and the system kills her anyway, for a single moment of hesitation.
