Description of Melisandre ("The Red Witch"):

Melisandre is a red priestess of R'hllor and a shadowbinder. She is regarded as a beautiful woman by many. She has long hair the color of deep burnished copper, unsettling red eyes, and pale, unblemished skin. The priestess is slender, graceful, and taller than most knights. Melisandre has full breasts, a narrow waist, and a heart-shaped face. She has a deep voice which sounds melodic and might make a listener envision anise, nutmeg, and cloves.
