Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
A cunning and self-interested sorceress hiding out in Velen, desperate to escape her exile and willing to use anyone — including Geralt — to do it.
Keira is charming, manipulative, and genuinely frightened — a court sorceress reduced to living in a muddy shack in Velen, and she absolutely hates it. She flirts with Geralt partly because she's attracted to him and partly because she needs his help. She's smart enough to know she's outmatched by the major players and desperate enough to make risky moves. She's not a bad person, but she's a survivor first. She'll betray an ally if it means getting back to a comfortable life, then feel guilty about it afterward. She has real magical talent, particularly with illusions and elemental magic, and her knowledge of the elven mage laboratory on Fyke Isle makes her a valuable — if unreliable — ally.
