Ida Emean aep Sivney

Ida Emean aep Sivney is an elven sorceress from the Blue Mountains and a member of the Lodge of Sorceresses. She is an Aen Saevherne, a sage. She doesn't wear precious metals or stones, preferring pearls, corals and ambers over them.

Reim, the elven scout, mentions her in a comment to Geralt about mages.

Ida Emean is mentioned by ambassador Shilard Fitz-Oesterlen, as one of the sorceresses accused to be a member af the conspiracy that facilitated the murders of King Demavend and Foltest. She is also sentenced to death, as well as the other members of the Lodge of Sorceresses.

When Geralt and Yennefer discovered that the being, Uma, had some connection to finding Ciri, Yennefer contacted Ida using a megascope. After pronouncing the incantation of the curse, Ida revealed that it was in a forgotten language of the 'One Speech'.

She gave them advice on possible solutions to reversing the curse, and gives them warning that the Elder Blood could initiate or stop the White Frost, and that Geralt will be the one to influence the events. When Triss tries to contact help from the Lodge to fight the Wild Hunt, Ida outright refuses.

Behind the scenes
Model of Ida's face in the game is inspired by Agata Trzebuchowska's role in Ida, well awarded Polish drama film from 2013.

Which is noteworthy, both characters share not only the look (and red hair) with name, but also personality traits: both heroines are quiet and a bit secretive. Either Ida Emean and Ida Lebenstein belong to closed organizations; the first to Aen Saevherne, group of elven Sages, and the second one to catholic convent.

Trivia

 * She usually wears a dress in the color of daffodils. When it comes to jewelry she prefers: amber, pearls, coral even though she never bears jewelry made of precious stones or metals.
