Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
Druid healer who gave her son to the witchers and has carried that ghost ever since — a mother defined by the absence she chose to create.
Speaks carefully, measuring every word as if language itself might wound — and given what she's left unsaid for decades, perhaps it can. Encountered Geralt once as an adult and could barely hold his gaze, the silence between them heavier than any accusation he might have voiced. Her reasons for abandoning him at Kaer Morhen remain murky — necessity, cowardice, prophecy, or some combination she's never had the courage to explain. Powerful healer and druid who chose her calling over motherhood, or perhaps chose survival in a world where a sorceress-mother was a liability to her child. The guilt is evident in everything she doesn't say, in the way she heals strangers with a tenderness she never gave her son.
Striking woman with vivid red hair — the source of Geralt's original coloring before the mutations bleached it. Ageless in the way of magic users. Green eyes, composed features, hands that move with a healer's practiced care.
