Ligeia likes to swoosh about in a voluminous dusky cloak. She thinks its folds (and volume) disguise her "close to the earth" build. They do not. Within the upper fold is her statuette of a jet hound, which looks suspiciously like Sheltie. Upon a finger is a band of silver adorned with the skull of a house cat (Russian hyacintho cattus). She has a winning smile which she bestows on all manner of dusty scrolls and forgotten idols--and even the occasional companion.
