Milady de Winter

"Light, strangely light blue eyes with black eyebrows and black eyelashes," it is noted, adding that she is "tall and well-built." On her left shoulder is a brand—"a small lily flower, reddish in color, and as if half-erased by various ointments."

A villainous seductress, a spy for Cardinal Richelieu, and one of the novel's main antagonists. She is believed to be based on Lucy Hay, Buckingham's abandoned lover who became Richelieu's agent.
