The Lady Jessica is just mentioned in the first chapter with Tarkil. She is preparing to have a grand ball where all the nobles will come and be entertained. But in the world of nobles, balls are very important social gatherings and full of political maneuverings. Lady Jessica loves putting on balls and if anyone needs to know anything, she is the lady to go to. She knows gossip before it happens.
Lady Jessica is the current lady of noble House Draedon. She loves to throw balls and celebrations for the most outlandish of reasons. She loves to play politics, pitting one noble House against another. Her marriage was arranged and there certainly isn't any love there, but she puts her best foot forward for the best of her children and her new noble House.
Lady Jessica is human, forty three years of age, five feet tall and just over a hundred pounds. She is thin and willow like, almost bony. Her face is oval with skin which is beginning to show sags and crows' feet which she tries to hide. Her complexion is porcelain white for she rarely goes in the sun. Her snow blond hair is starting to gray, which she tries to hide with magic and dye.
Lady Jessica always wears the latest styles in the colors of black and blue or brown and black. She only wears slippers of silk and never rides. She only rides by carriage. She giggles, despite being 43, and this makes people drop their guard around her. This is how she gets so information and dirt on people. She is a nasty woman when she wants to be and she always wants her way.
Your party of adventurers could have some gossip for her. They might be hired to find something for her (a rumor or magic to help her look younger). They could even be hired by a rival to take her out (if your party happens to be evil). Or maybe they are invited to one of her balls!
