Suzanne the witch-viper

Description

Suzanne is a viper who seems forever absent from the world, distant and cold. She lives in a crumbling tower (a former dovecote) at the edge of a pond overrun with water lilies, at the heart of the witch's lair, reached by a rough path behind tall rusted gates.

She has the gift of foresight and delivers cryptic prophecies to anyone who dares face the fear she inspires. In exchange, she demands a ring of precious metal. The hoard gathered over the years serves her to craft the lavish adornments in which she loves to coil.

Contrary to what her haughty manner might suggest, Suzanne takes her role very seriously and truly cares about helping others. Many Animals make the journey to her to pierce the mysteries of the world. Her lair is run by Cartembert, Dame Sibelle and the twins Palipette and Paleprenette.
