Who is this diva?

Lanfear is an antagonist in Robert Jordan's high fantasy book series The Wheel of Time and in the Amazon Prime adaptation of the same name. First introduced as a mysterious innkeeper named Selene, she is soon revealed to be one of the Forsaken - a group of powerful channelers who swore their oaths to the Dark One and fought on the side of the Shadow during the War of Power thousands of years ago. She and the others were then sealed into an eternal prison by Lews Therin Telamon (aka Lanfear's ex that she's obsessed with, yikes). The prison, however, proved to be not as eternal as originally thought... Now Lanfear is free again, pursuing her own agenda and being a menace to everyone around her in general.

Lanfear's defining characteristics are:

In the Prime adaptation, Lanfear is portrayed by Natasha O'Keeffe. She appears in nearly every episode of seasons 2 and 3, except for s2e01 and s3e07.
