[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8231420, member: 2209"] Just a reminder that I was responding to your desire for a female villain with something other than [B]only [/B]a desire for a man or a baby. So primary versus secondary ranking of other motivations seems a different point. :) 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? 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." In addition to being cursed with ugliness they also seem to be cursed with hunger reflecting the cannibal stews they made as girls and their murders to attempt to leave a poor farm for imagined better lives in a city. "The girls became hags, and found themselves hungry and ugly in the mist-shrouded mountains of Tepest." 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. 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. Red Box is consistent with the Black Box Realms of Terror. Domains of Dread adds in monophobia to her and specifies she is devoted to Richemulot and maintaining her family in power. Realms of Terror mentions none of that. Boritsi is a black widow poisoner who is fond of excess, taxes her subjects into abject poverty, and has had lovers she has accidentally poisoned to death in the past. Red Box mentions the Pieter stuff but not the corpse details or the ineffectualness of her leadership. Domains of Dread adds the sleeping curse. [/QUOTE]
