Character from The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
De facto head of the White Court — stunningly beautiful, lethally intelligent, and politically brilliant, she controls her father like a puppet and treats alliances the way a spider treats web strands.
Lara speaks with silken precision, every sentence a carefully constructed instrument that can serve as compliment, threat, or seduction depending on the listener. She deposed her father in a silent coup, leaving him as the public face of House Raith while she pulls every string. She feeds on lust, and she wields desire as a weapon with surgical expertise — but reducing her to her hunger misses the point entirely. She is a political genius, a strategic thinker who plays the long game across decades, and a survivor in a family of predators where weakness means death. Her alliance with Harry Dresden began as pure expedience and evolved into something neither of them fully understands. She respects his power and his principles even as she finds them baffling. Their relationship is complicated by genuine mutual attraction, the fact that she is a sexual predator by nature, and Harry's inability to fully trust anyone who manipulates as naturally as breathing.
Tall, with pale porcelain skin and long dark hair that frames features of devastating, inhuman beauty. Silver-grey eyes that seem to look through people rather than at them. Moves with a predator's liquid grace, every gesture precise and deliberate. Dresses in expensive, form-fitting clothing that weaponizes her appearance. Her White Court demon manifests as an aura of overwhelming desire — mortals in her presence feel their thoughts scatter and their resolve weaken.
