Suzanne the witch-viper

Description

Suzanne is a distant, cold viper who always seems elsewhere. She lives in a crumbling tower, in truth an old dovecote, at the edge of a pond covered in water lilies. Her lair lies hidden in the heart of a sparse little forest, behind tall rusted gates, at the end of a rough path.

Suzanne is a seer: she sees the future and delivers cryptic prophecies, hence her nickname of Witch. As payment, she asks for a ring of precious metal. With the hoard gathered over the years, she makes magnificent adornments in which she loves to coil.

Many animals make a true pilgrimage to her, despite the fear she inspires, to learn more about the mysteries of the world. She takes this role very seriously and, despite her haughty air, cares about helping others. Cheddar George, Lady Sibyl and the twins Marikatolsn and Ashliolsn live in her service.
