Appearance
Githzerion is an elderly crone, though her true age is unknown. While she does not smell, she seems to barely put an effort into her hygiene. Her hair is a tangled, crazed mess of stringy white hair that is roughly shoulder length. Her fingernails and toenails are long and yellow. Her skin is mottled and wrinkled with age. One eye is white and filmy with a cataract while the other has a pitch-black iris. She wears tattered navy-blue robes that seem to only maintain her modesty and do not seem to offer any warmth or any other value.

Motivations and Goals
Githzerion operates on a level different from other individuals; she seems to serve higher powers than kings and queens and bishops and popes. As such, her motivations and goals are mysterious and difficult to fathom.
