Character Design - T'sais - "Tha Dying Earth" from Jack Vance

A magician named Pandelume from the idyllic dimension of Embelyon has created a woman named T’sais, but has erred at the task and her brain is flawed: she cannot see beauty anywhere, finding life loathsome and hateful. Tired of life in Embelyon, she asks Pandelume to send her to the Dying Earth. The magician agrees, but not without warning her of the dangers of a strange land. He supplies her with a bag of jewels, a magic rune and an enchanted rapier. The enchanted rapier she carries, fights on its own accord and pierces whichever enemy blocks her path while the rune blocks any dark magic that tries to harm her.
