She is adorned in dark robes that flow gracefully, embellished with symbols that hint at her affiliation with the arcane and the mysteries of the past. Her hair is long and silvery, cascading down her shoulders, and her eyes shine with a glimmering, ethereal glow, giving her an otherworldly presence.
