Agatha is the main character and eponymous Girl Genius. She's a strong Spark and the last known member of the famous Heterodyne family. The daughter of Bill Heterodyne (one of the greatest heroes of all time) and Lucrezia Mongfish (one of the worst villains of all time), Agatha began her story as Agatha Clay, unaware of her family history. With her Spark supressed by the locket given to her by her Uncle Barry, her attempts at scientific creation tended to end in disaster. Once the locket was gone, she broke through in a big way. She has since had several adventures of her own and has shown the same heroic impulse as her father.

History
It can be assumed (though facts are still uncertain) that Lucrezia was pregnant with Agatha at the time she fled or was kidnapped from Castle Heterodyne on the eve of its near destruction. The circumstances surrounding Agatha's birth are still unknown, though Lucrezia's Geisterdamen may know more. .

With her parents mysteriously gone, Agatha spent her early life with her Uncle Barry. She surprised him by beginning to break through as a Spark at the age of five, forcing a reluctant Barry to supress her abilities in order to keep her hidden. It is implied that he was keeping her hidden from Klaus Wulfenbach, among others, but Barry's motives have yet to be revealed.

When Agatha was seven, her Uncle Barry left her in the care of a pair of constructs, Adam and Lilith Clay, whom Agatha lovingly referred to as her parents. She later learned they were the legendary Punch and Judy. Together they lived in the town of Beetleburg, where she eventually went to school at Transylvania Polygnostic University under the guidance of Dr. Beetle. Still stifled by her locket, she was a hardworking but perpetually frustrated student. At eighteen, she suffered a series of catastrophes on an exceptionally bad day, which began with the possible first appearance by The Other and ended with her being kidnapped and taken to Castle Wulfenbach.

Since then, Agatha has discovered her identity and her sparky nature, lost her foster parents (but likely not for good), been on the run from the Baron, made friends and enemies, and discovered romance, the foremost contender being Gilgamesh Wulfenbach. Agatha's closest companions are a talking cat named Krosp, and Zeetha - a green-haired warrior princess of Skifander.

Agatha still faces numerous challenges before she can enjoy some downtime in a nice, quiet laboratory. She has a sentient and deadly family castle in need of repair, an enraged Baron who believes she is The Other (and she might be, if her locket is removed again), and a conspiracy of nobles trying to use her for their own purposes. Fortunately, she also has a large number of friends and allies trying to help her.
