A rhythmic percussion akin to a dirge heralds the arrival of a short, stocky dark-skinned woman. With each of her heavy implacable steps an eerie necklace of bones and shrunken skulls bounces upon the heft of her generous bosom, causing a persistent rattle. Her dark-rimmed red eyes burn with fervor as they consider her environs disdainfully. Her lanky black hair is pulled tightly back from her face and tied into an untidy bun. Her hooked nose and intimidating grin composed of dangerous-looking sharpened teeth combined with her imperious gaze give her an imposing appearance, despite her short height.
