A fixture of the court’s gossip circuit, Lady Kliss proves an eager and perceptive source of rumors, always ready to lean in and pass along what she has heard. Her conspicuous appearance and cheerful appetite for intrigue make her a memorable presence at social gatherings. She keeps watching the court’s movements and gathering its stories, turning gossip into her particular form of influence.
Description
Lady Kliss is short and stout, with a massive blond bun that wobbles when she moves. Her face is animated, and her eyes have a twinkling brightness when she draws someone into conversation. She favors squat, gaudy dresses in conspicuous colors, with little apparent concern for fashion. Her waddling, forward-leaning manner gives her a buoyant, unmistakable presence.
