Ok the next Game of Thrones Woman up is the Red Preistess Lady Melisandre. :-)
(Various images of Melisandre and her actress Carice Van Houten.)
Melisandre is a sorceress who aligns herself and uses her abilities to help various political powers in the Game of Thrones world. She believes she is carrying out the will of the Lord of Light. Her spells often come at a price though requiring sacrifices for her to complete them. This leads to some Dark bargains in the series.
As a powerful magic user Lady Melisandre is one of those characters that I am tempted to fantasize about. It is fun to imagine her using her mystic abilities to toy with and tease me with her feet. At the same time she is involved in some really eerie scenes in Game of Thrones and has some really disturbing scenes in the Television series and books. This might be one Sorceress it is best to keep your distance from.
Melisandre signature line in the series is "The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors." A phrase which is very accurate description for most of the series.
More Game of Thrones still to come!!
