Lady Olenna is in her sixties with white hair and very small. She has soft, spotted hands with gaunt thin fingers. Olenna has an old woman’s sour breath and has lost her teeth. Olenna walks with a cane and claims to be near deaf, but both might be part of her feigning to be more frail than she actually is. Olenna rarely shies from stating her opinion. She is described as a wizened, cunning old woman with a wicked wit and a sharp tongue, earning her the moniker ‘Queen of Thorns’.
