(she/her)
The main reason Gabrielle hates the Vistani is because they made her a lonely outcast.Just a reminder that I was responding to your desire for a female villain with something other than only a desire for a man or a baby. So primary versus secondary ranking of other motivations seems a different point.
But it's OK, because she stops being so evil when she falls in love with Matton!
That was Domains of Dread (2e). "However, her reflection always reveals her true age. For this reason, Gabrielle allows no mirrors near her." The Gazetteer mentions that she's an attractive older woman, but she still hates her reflection.The original Realms of Terror write up I quoted earlier seems to place Aderre's Vistani hate higher and does not mention the age stuff. The Red box description seems the same as well, what source are you going off of?
Right. This is the typical stereotype of the ugly women: they hate and try to destroy anyone who is better than they are.Darklords where the hags are first described in any detail does not have it as limited to women who are prettier. "The hags hate folk who are good, despise folk who are beautiful or handsome, and are jealous of anyone who is happy and loved."
Cursed to fall in love, unlike any of her species.Renier's write up has her cursed with love. I don't think it says she is actively looking to find it, just that she was cursed with it.
In the Gazetteer, she fell in love with a human nobleman named Henri DuBois. She tried to infect him with lycanthropy and he vanished in the attempt. "His whereabouts remain a mystery, leaving Jacqueline mired in heartache that only abates when she revels in the misery of others."
And yet only (failing at) finding love and being horrible to people because she can't are the only motivations given.Her primary motivation from the Realms of Terror write up is fairly open ended because of the lack of detail. Finding love would be consistent with the write up, but so would other primary motivations.
