I imagine Madam Rosmerta to be in the range from 28 to say, 34. Old enough
to be "mature" but young enough to still look "hot". She'd have to have that
"older woman" syndrome of looking so good that even young bucks drool over
her, but I don't imagine her to be slutty- just charismatic. I have having a
hard time finding a person to fit the bill, but I am thinking from the older
movies done comedy style where all the guys just fell over hand and foot for
one girl- maybe say Marilyn Monroe from "some Like It Hot"; one where the
starring girl can do no wrong. I'd keep her fully robed (tongue in cheek
there) in a traditional Wizard wear that goes all the way up to the neck,
but even then you can tell which Witches have a nice figure, especially if
her robes are tailor cut to show off her shape.
