Kit Snicket is the sister of author Lemony Snicket and has a brother named Jacques Snicket. She tells the Baudelaire children that she was only four years old when the schism occurred in V.F.D.

She was first mentioned by name in The Grim Grotto as she was sending a letter to Gregor Anwhistle to not use the poisonous mushrooms, Medusoid Mycelium, against the enemies of V.F.D. and she is working on the way to dilute the poison at Opportune Odors Horseradish Factory on Lousy Lane. In The Carnivorous Carnival and The Slippery Slope, Lemony Snicket writes a letter to his sister (Kit Snicket).

In The Grim Grotto, Kit appears at Briny Beach to pick up the Baudelaire children in a taxi. In The Penultimate Peril, she drives them to the Hotel Denouement and shares some information with them about V.F.D. She is pregnant and possibly married to or at least in a romantic relationship with Dewey Denouement, as it was strongly indicated he was the father. It is also indicated that Kit has a house of some kind that she lives in, for on the bottom of page 33, Kit says, "I've scarcely looked at these maps, poems, and blueprints that Charles sent me, or chosen wallpaper for the baby's room." Kit Snicket is part of V.F.D and on the good side of the schism. It was mentioned that she went water-skiing to meet Captain Widdershins, and she also hinted that she would end up on the self-sustaining hot air mobile home.

In The End, Kit tells the Baudelaires that after she left them at the Hotel Denouement, she met with Captain Widdershins and his stepchildren, Fiona and Fernald. Together they repaired his submarine and reached the Quagmires just as the self-sustaining hot air mobile home was wrecked by eagles and crashed into the submarine. Kit was injured when a telegram device fell on both of her legs. She made a raft out of her favorite books, but all of the others were either captured or rescued by the mysterious question mark-shaped "Great Unknown". Kit's raft carries her to the same island where the Baudelaires and Count Olaf had been shipwrecked, thus giving Kit the opportunity to tell the children about the events described above. As Kit is dying, Count Olaf kisses her gently on the mouth, saying that he told her he'd do that one last time, a possible implication that the two were romantically involved before Olaf became a villain. As Olaf dies, the two recite a bit of poetry together.

Kit later dies as well while giving birth because of her exposure to the Medusoid Mycelium spores. (The horseradish would have cured her. However it would have harmed her unborn child in the process.) The Baudelaires end up being the "parents" of the baby, named Beatrice after their mother.

In "13 Shocking Secrets You'll Wish You Never Knew About Lemony Snicket,"[1] secret #3 said that Lemony's niece is an orphan; presumably this is a reference to Kit's baby.

A 2006 spin-off book The Beatrice Letters describes Kit's 10-year-old daughter Beatrice Baudelaire's search for her uncle, Lemony Snicket, and for the Baudelaire orphans who adopted her after her mother's death and named her after their own mother, Beatrice Baudelaire.

In the rare edition of The Bad Beginning, one of Lemony's notes says "his sister", obviously Kit, has proposed that some of the eyes of Count Olaf's house hid secret peepholes, cameras, or microscopic lenses, as in the Baudelaire home.

[edit] Jacques Snicket Jacques Snicket First appearance The Vile Village Last appearance The Vile Village Cause/reason Killed in prison by Count Olaf Created by Lemony Snicket Information Gender Male Age Adult (deceased) Occupation Crewman on The Queequeg Title (none) Relatives Lemony Snicket, Kit Snicket Jacques Snicket along with his siblings, is a member of V.F.D.. A tattoo of an eye is on his ankle, and because of this, and his one eyebrow, he was mistaken for Count Olaf in The Vile Village. He has two siblings, Lemony Snicket and Kit Snicket. He was murdered in jail as he was about to be burned at the stake by Count Olaf (disguised as Detective Dupin) in order to frame Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire.

In Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, it was revealed that Jacques is a good friend of Jerome Squalor and that Jerome follows his advice. It was because of Jacques that Jerome bought the penthouse apartment in 667 Dark Avenue, for an unknown reason. Jacques did not want Jerome Squalor to marry Esmé, and sent a letter warning Jerome, but the letter was intercepted, possibly by the Hook-Handed Man who was disguised as a doorman. It was also revealed that Jacques disguises himself as a detective and is possibly the man who investigated the murder of Dr. Orwell, though this article was not published in the Daily Punctilio.

In The Slippery Slope, the Baudelaires found a message that was thought to be for Jacques, but decided (with the later confirmation of Captain Widdershins) that no one would send a message to Jacques, since he was dead. Captain Widdershins also mentioned that Jacques was formerly part of his crew on the Queequeg.

In The Vile Villiage, Jacques immediately recognized the Baldelaires, and tried to tell them about their parents. He was a known member of V.F.D. and was on the fire fighting side. But unfortunately, Esmè Squalor,disguised as a police offficer, Officer Lucinda, stopped him from any further explanations.

In The Penultimate Peril the Baudelaires learned that J.S., the mysterious receiver of the message in The Slippery Slope, was possibly both Justice Strauss, following the orphans since Mr. Poe had taken away and Jerome Squalor, following the footsteps of his deceased friend.

Jacques physically appears only in The Vile Village.
