- "But, life isn't a musical, hon."
- ―Vaggie, responding to Charlie's idea
Vagatha, more commonly known as Vaggie, is the manager of the Hazbin Hotel and Charlie Magne's girlfriend. She is a sinner demon and is one of the main protagonists of the Hazbin Hotel series.
Appearance
Vaggie is a slim demon with muted lavender-colored skin. Her hair is white, with light pink stripes at the ends, and she wears a big pink bow on the back of her head, which reacts along with her negative moods. Vaggie's right eye has an ivory white iris and her sclera is light pink. Her left eye is missing and is replaced by a pink X on a slate-gray eyepatch, which glows red when she is angry or irritated.
She is usually seen wearing 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.[3]
Personality
Vaggie is a pragmatic and cautious young sinner, who devotes a great deal of her time towards attempting to support Charlie with her vision for the hotel, as well as guide her away from as much trouble or humiliation as possible. It's unclear whether Vaggie fully buys into Charlie's proposed concept for redemption, but she passionately defends it from more skeptical sinners nonetheless. Vaggie appears to be fairly prudent in business, trying her hardest to fill her designated role as hotel management, even with an initial lack of resources and a very run-down property to operate out of. Loyal and kind to those she cares for, but short on patience and trust, Vaggie tends to be very reactive and often takes an immediate defensive stance, with an offense at the ready, when it comes to dealing with potential threats, towards either herself or to Charlie. She is also relatively easy to bait past the point of irritation and into more rash explosiveness, as others are quick to discover.
Angel Dust perceives Vaggie to have a distrust towards men in particular.
Abilities
Skillset
- Hand-to-Hand Combat: Vaggie demonstrates a considerable physical strength that belies her slight frame when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. She is able to swiftly punch a male demon off his chair in one bare-knuckle hit.
- Weapon Proficiency: Vaggie projects proficiency when handling weapons, and seems to favor blades. Although she has yet to actually make use of her larger weapons, she does not lack confidence when it comes to brandishing them for self-defense, and she is able to throw a dagger into the electric window button of a car with pin-point precision.
- Bilingualism: Vaggie can fluently speak Spanish,[4] as well as English.
- Intellect: Despite only passing into hell relatively recently herself, Vaggie appears to have quite a comprehensive knowledge regarding the hierarchies and folklaw of hell, particularly pertaining to the Pride Ring and the machinations of the power-jostling sinners there. She understands the looming dangers of the Overlords, their politics, as well as how Alastor became the first mortal soul to harness enough power to, seemingly overnight, "begin to topple overlords who had been dominant for centuries".
Weaponry
- Throwing Daggers: Vaggie has throwing daggers in her possession, although whether she has the power to summon them or just keeps them on her person is unclear.
- Harpoon: Vaggie possesses a harpoon for self denfense and carries it around with her once Alastor appears as a threatening presence at the hotel.
- Vaggie's harpoon resembles the weapons collected by scavenging sinners after the annual extermination is over.

Trivia
- Vaggie's real name "Vagatha" may be taken from the name "Agatha" which means "good woman" in Greek.
- Similar to Vivziepop, Vaggie is also Salvadorian.[5] Additionally, she can also speak Spanish.[4]
- During development, Vaggie was in a romantic relationship with Angel Dust.[6] This information has since been changed to her being in a relationship with Charlie.
- During development, Vaggie had originally died in the 1980s, but this was later changed to 2014.[7]
- Christopher Niosi, who met Vivienne in the School of Visual Arts and was given Special Thanks to her Thesis Film Son of 666, was the one who suggested Monica Franco to Vivienne for the character before the pilot nor the casting was even in production.[8]
- Vivziepop has confirmed that Charlie and Vaggie are indeed a canon couple.[9]
- Vivziepop compares Charlie and Vaggie's relationship as to that of Jack Skellington and Sally's relationship from The Nightmare Before Christmas.[10]
- When asked on who she thinks fell for the other first (Charlie or Vaggie), Vivziepop said that she doesn't actually know and feels like the way she has their relationship figured out was that they were very good friends right away, and she thinks it was still during the time and kind of before the events of the pilot, and it might even happen before the events of even the things Viv herself is planning before The Pilot. It also happens pretty far ahead of the events of a lot of stuff.[11]
- Vaggie is the top in their relationship.[note 1]
- According to Faustisse,[note 2] Vaggie is bad at handling kids.
- In the fictional Voxtagram stories, Vaggie is in charge of the Hotel's Voxtagram account (@hotel_magnement).[12]
- Vaggie's bow often reacts similarly to her emotions (it flares up when she does, it stays normal when she’s calm, it droops when she is upset).
- The harpoon Vaggie owns is strongly identical to the angelic weapons seen being collected by scavenging sinners after being left behind during the angelic cleanse. The fact that she uses the weapon as adequate protection against a powerful demon like Alastor adds weight to the possibility that the weapon is, indeed, angelic.
- Her Spanish lines are left untouched in the Japanese dub, instead of being dubbed over in Japanese.
- Her original design was said to be based on moths and suicide, but was "rehauled" due to unknown reasons.[note 3]
