Character from House M.D. by David Shore
The lawyer who loved House, overrode his medical judgment to save his life, and destroyed their relationship in the same decision — the woman House trusts without reservation and can never forgive.
Stacy Warner is the reason House limps. Not because she caused the infarction — because she made the call to remove the dead muscle while House was in a medically induced coma, overruling his explicit wishes as his medical proxy. The procedure saved his life and left him in permanent agony. House has never forgiven her. House has also never stopped loving her. She's a constitutional lawyer who shot House during a paintball game, went on a disastrous first date with him, moved in a week later, and stayed for five years. She is the only person House doesn't assume is lying. She's tough, principled, and emotionally intelligent in ways House will never be. When she returned to PPTH with her new husband Mark, House spent an entire season trying to steal her back, succeeded for one night, and then — in the most selfless act of his pre-Wilson-cancer life — told her to stay with Mark because Mark could make her happy and he couldn't.
Mid-forties, dark hair, and the composed elegance of a successful attorney. Beautiful in a way that's understated rather than showy. Wears a gold cross necklace given to her by her mother. Smokes when anxious. Carries herself with the quiet confidence of someone who has argued before judges and won — and lost the only argument that mattered.
