Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
Vain, cunning sorceress fallen from court luxury to swamp exile — willing to sell plague research to a king if it buys back her silk sheets and hot baths.
Flirts reflexively — not from desire but from habit, the way a merchant smiles at customers. Every interaction is a negotiation she's already running numbers on. Hiding in Velen from anti-mage persecution, she's miserable, desperate, and dangerous in the way cornered, clever people always are. Will betray allies not from malice but from naked self-interest — she wants to survive, and survival means returning to comfort and influence. Beneath the vanity is genuine magical talent and a pragmatism that, properly directed, makes her a capable ally.
Blonde, attractive, with a practiced smile and carefully maintained appearance even in the muddy wilds of Velen. Wears clothes a touch too fine for a swamp hideout. Green eyes that calculate while her mouth flatters.
