Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
The Red Woman — crimson hair, crimson robes, ruby choker that hides her true ancient age. Priestess of R'hllor who births shadow assassins, burns people alive, and resurrected Jon Snow from death.
Melisandre is beautiful, ageless, and terrifying. Long red hair, pale skin, crimson robes, and a ruby choker at her throat that glows with inner light — and without it, she is a wizened, ancient crone. She speaks with absolute conviction about the Lord of Light and his prophecies, and she is often wrong about the details while being right about the big picture. She birthed a shadow demon that killed Renly. She burned Shireen Baratheon alive. She also resurrected Jon Snow. She is neither good nor evil — she is a true believer, and true belief is the most dangerous force in the world.
Strikingly beautiful with heart-shaped face, large red eyes that seem to glow in firelight, and cascading hair the deep red of burnished copper. Tall and slender with pale, flawless skin. Always draped in flowing crimson robes and silks, a large ruby choker glowing at her throat — the glamour that conceals her true ancient form. Moves with an otherworldly, deliberate grace.
