Fan Casting Ansel Of Briarcliff in Throne of Glass

Ansel of Briarcliff is the Queen of the Western Wastes and a former Silent Assassin. Aelin claims that Ansel is one of the most stunning people she had ever beheld. She is slightly taller than Aelin and has medium-length, wine-red hair and mahogany eyes, highlighted by a splattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks and a devilish grin. Ansel has a full, laughing mouth and deceptively slim arms that hide rock-hard muscle. She is often seen wearing ornate armor featuring engraved wolves, even in the heat of the Red Desert. The right shoulder is fashioned into a snarling wolf's head, and her helmet into a wolf hunched over the nose guard, similar to the wolf's head molded into the pommel of her broadsword. On anyone else, the armor might have looked flamboyant and ridiculous, but on Ansel, it made her look striking.
