History Characters / TheWitcherLodgeOfSorceresses

* StatuesqueStunner: Is taller than Geralt in ''Wild Hunt''.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Keira Metz gets a Witcher lover of her own in Lambert, universal approval and everlasting fame due to discovering the cure for the Catriona Plague, and clean sheets if Geralt treats her right.]]

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: ''Immensely'' classist, even by the standards of [[HolierThanThou The Lodge Of Sorceress]]. Her [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen fall from grace from being King Foltest’s former advisor]] has hit her ''hard'' and hiding in [[{{Uberwald}} Velen]] has done her absolutely no favors. She makes it abundantly clear that she utterly ''hates'' everything about living in Velen, especially the people whom she considered, unwashed, uneducated fools. She also does not seem to hold the [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Scoia'tael]] in particular high regard, dismissively calling them “flea-bitten”.

[[folder: Keira Metz]]

* SeriousBusiness: Is willing to kill to get some decent bedding. Literally.

* ActionGirl: Don't be fooled by her fondness for luxury: Keira is one of the more militant mages in the series. During the Thanned Coup she dispensed with all her fancy outfits, instead wearing a tactical uniform and utilizing brass knuckles while rounding up the mages working for Nilfgaard. Later she led a team of mercenaries for the Lodge during the hunt for Vilgefortz.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Keira Metz gets a dark-haired Witcher lover of her own in Lambert, universal approval due to the curing of a deadly disease, and clean sheets if Geralt treats her right.]]

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: By the time the games take place, she's possibly the most powerful mage still alive in the world. So naturally, she never appears to avoid having her solve all the heroes' problems. This is to the extent that she’s the only sorceress on this page '''not''' to appear in ''Wild Hunt''.

* DareToBeBadass: If you wait until the last possible moment to complete her quest, instead of falsely claiming that Kaer Morhen represents safety (since he knows the Wild Hunt will strike there once he retrieves Ciri), [[https://youtu.be/Z3j4EbQQyfc?t=395 Geralt will instead say it's an opportunity to prove her merit]].

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: By the time the games take place, she's possibly the most powerful mage still alive in the world. So naturally, she never appears to avoid having her solve all the heroes' problems.

** The third and last is a Xenovox, which is essentially [[HollywoodCB a magical walkie-talkie]], which she gives Geralt because [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes she refuses to step foot on an island riddled with plague rats]] until they're driven off. Despite how much utility instantaneous communication of this nature would have [[StoryBreakerPower to the plot]] and [[ReedRichardsIsUseless the setting in general]], it isn't used outside of this second quest; she does claim that they're so difficult to construct that they'd never become widespread gadgets.

** The second is an optional Magic Lamp she tasks Geralt with locating which has nothing to do with a GenieInABottle but whose mystical light can be used to detect, and in some cases commune with, the dead; it's used in the next quest she gives Geralt and here and there where detecting spirits is necessary to find out what to do next ([[DevelopersForesight there are exceptions where it isn't necessary]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3j4EbQQyfc however]].) [[MundaneUtility It is also useful as a light source]].

* FemmeFatale: A downplayed and considerably nicer version than usual. From the moment she spots Geralt at her hut, she begins subtly flirting with him and dropping sexual innuendos. Seducing him is part of her greater plans, but she doesn't intend any real harm.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Some of her outfits in the games have plunging necklines. Her DLC alternate look in the third game has the lowest neckline of all and it goes below her navel. In the books, she's ''the exact opposite'', due to sustaining severe burns all over her chest. She covers the scars with clothes and high collars and is very self-conscious about the whole thing.

* AlwaysSecondBest: To Yennefer in some respects.

* CoolBigSis: To Ciri, whom she befriends during her visit to Kaer Morhen.

* AbsoluteCleavage: It's actually not ''that'' crazy like most examples, but it stands out because of her amazing... [[Creator/MontyPython tracks of land]], and the tattoo she's got on her chest, which was no doubt put there to draw the [[MaleGaze viewer's attention]]. As could be expected, not a hint of that in the books.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her basic outfit in Wild Hunt ramps this up, to the point where it becomes ironic when the [[spoiler: optional love scene with Geralt]] reveals she's actually wearing a bra under it.

* AbsoluteCleavage: The dress she wears in the third game looks like something a celebrity would wear for a red carpet event.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her basic outfit in Wild Hunt ramps this UpToEleven, to the point where it becomes ironic when the [[spoiler: optional love scene with Geralt]] reveals she's actually wearing a bra under it.

* TooCleverByHalf: She let it go to her head that she's a political animal capable of vast, behind-the-scene scheming. And she likes to remind to everyone she's the smartest person in the room. As a result, she's consistently blind-sided by people she considered to be mere pawns in her hands, both in the saga and video games.

* ManBehindTheMan: She through Dijkstra (it's usually more like friendly deals and cooperation than manipulation, though), also her co-conspirators through similar or less voluntary means. She attempted to be this for Radovid, but he saw through it.

* KarmicDeath: Either way. On one hand she can be killed by Letho sabotaging her teleporter, all the more fitting after she underestimated, tried to manipulate him and murdered Serrit, his fellow Viper School Witcher, to cover up her tracks. On the other she can be arrested and tortured to near death by the Witch Hunters for the role she played in regicide and throwing the North into chaos, and begs Geralt, the man she wronged who saved her, to put her out of her misery.

** On the flipside, in the books she saves Geralt's life when she's able to take the credit - but when she thinks there's no chance he'll find out what she's done (because Yennefer will be dead soon after their discussion), she's perfectly willing to back up Philippa and the Lodge in allowing Yennefer to die, lying to Geralt about her innocence, and secretly getting Ciri into the Lodge's hands so they can use her for their own purposes. It is only later on with her extenisve development in the game, that she consistently seems seems willing to do the right thing - her missions at Novigrad completely seperate from others opinions on her in 3 and even standing up against the Lodge in 2 ultimately, which she could never have imagined doing before.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Yes.
** The books openly acknowledge that their initial sexual romance is the result of Triss using magic and potions on Geralt. No one objects to this, not the other witchers present at Kaer Morhen (who get so fond of her that Vesemir even nicknames her 'little daughter') or even Geralt himself, who breaks off the relationship once free of coercion but continues to see her as a good friend.
** While Geralt had amnesia, Triss did not mention Yennefer in any manner while knowing they had a serious relationship - this includes when an oblivious Geralt starts making romantic/sexual advances towards Triss. Taking full advantage of that with him, instead of doing the right thing and telling him about his existing lover. Again, Geralt continues to view her as a friend and romantic prospect after finding out about the deception and manipulation, and reassures her as she criticizes this deed that he never saw it as her taking advantage of him. They can even [[KarmaHoudini end up together]].
* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: See above.

* KillItWithFire: Has a preference for fire-based magic, especially in the third game. Her prowess with fire magic is so good that Lambert asks Geralt to remind him never to piss her off.

* PlayingWithFire: Her choice of offensive magic.
