Physical Description
A tall witch with black hair pulled back into a tight bun has a severe and stern face featuring a long pointed nose and square glasses perched upon it. Her fair skin contrasts with her emerald green robes as she towers over others with an imposing posture that suggests she is not someone to cross, her expression often flashing with fury or authority while her precise movements and strict bearing mark her as a formidable Hogwarts professor in her middle years. A formidable middle-aged witch with a severe expression, her hair pulled tightly into a neat bun atop her head and square spectacles perched on her nose that catch the light ominously. Her beady eyes narrow to deliver piercing eagle-like stares from a face that drains very white with shock, while her thin mouth presses into the thinnest line of disapproval or anger with flared nostrils, and she clutches at her chest when deeply moved. She presents a tall, upright figure of strict authority and precision in the dark formal robes of a Hogwarts professor. A stern-looking middle-aged witch with fair skin, dark hair pulled back into a tight bun beneath a hair net, and sharp beady eyes framed by square spectacles. Tall and severe in posture, she wears tartan dressing gowns or robes with a hat, her expressive face showing everything from intent consideration and raised eyebrows to utmost fury, somber gravity, or tearful sobbing while clutching a Gryffindor flag.
