'''Fringilla Vigo''' was a [[Nilfgaard (city)|Nilfgaardian]] [[sorceress]] and a member of the [[Lodge of Sorceresses]] along with her fellow countrywoman, [[Assire var Anahid]]. She was also the second cousin of [[Anna Henrietta]] of [[Toussaint]]. She was a woman with natural grace, green eyes and close-cropped black hair. During the [[First Northern War]] Fringilla fought for [[Nilfgaardian Empire|Nilfgaard]] at the [[Battle of Sodden Hill]] where she blinded [[Yennefer of Vengerberg|Yennefer]] who was fighting on the opposing side.

When Geralt and his team reached Toussaint, Fringilla embarked on a romantic relationship with [[Geralt of Rivia|Geralt]] and did everything in her power to keep him from leaving the castle. While the witcher did develop some feelings for her, he never quite was able to put Yennefer out of his mind, even going so far as to use Yennefer's name instead of Fringilla's in the throes of passion.

== Biography ==
In Nilfgaard, Fringilla was approached by Assire var Anahid who offered her the chance to become a member of the Lodge of Sorceresses. While initially surprised by Assire's appearance, since Assire never really put effort into her appearance before, Assire pointed out that Fringilla had always been one to put effort into her own looks, noting that among Nilfgaardian mages Fringilla didn't care about their stereotypes (as Nilfgaard believed mages that focused on their looks were superficial). The two southern sorceresses then discussed events at Nilfgaard's court before preparing to meet the Lodge.

The two teleported to [[Montecalvo]], where they met the other members of the Lodge. However, when a reluctant Yennefer appeared with Francesca and Ida, Yennefer immediately recognized Fringilla, as the two fought on opposite sides in the Battle of Sodden Hill. Using this to her advantage, Fringilla was able to talk to Yennefer alone during a break in the meeting and, knowing Yennefer was trying to escape to get to [[Ciri]], gave her hints on how to get around [[Montecalvo]]'s impenetrable barrier.

=={{Tw3}}==
Imprisoned by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis himself, due to her treasonous connections with the Lodge, '''Fringilla''' was sought after by her former associates, along with Geralt, in their bid to defy and defeat the [[Wild Hunt]] near [[Undvik]] on [[Skellige Islands]].

=== Journal entry ===
:''Emperor Emhyr had once presented the mages of Nilfgaard with a simple choice: either serve their country unquestioningly or die in prison.''
:''Fringilla Vigo, a mistress of magic holding office in the vassal duchy of Toussaint, refused both options and instead joined the infamous Lodge of Sorceresses, whose aim was to stand up to the dictates of kings and emperors. These bold ambitions were never fulfilled, however, and Fringilla Vigo lived in fear that her ties to this subversive organization would be discovered and she would meet a quick end at the hands of the emperor's executioners.''
:''One must mention here that Geralt first met Fringilla at the ducal palace in Beauclair many years ago, when we were there enjoying the hospitality of my one-time love, [[Duchess]] Anna Henrietta. The witcher, always a sucker for sorceresses, conjoined with Madame Vigo during this time in a quite lively relationship that surely was no cause of joy for Triss or Yennefer.''
:''All indications were that Fringilla had been arrested and remained in a Nilfgaardian prison, undoubtedly awaiting execution for acts of high treason.''
:''She was later released, however, thanks to a bargain Yennefer had struck with Emhyr.''

=== Bugs ===
* In {{Tw3}}, completing [[High Stakes]] while having at least heard [[Cantarella|Sasha]]'s proposal is supposed to unlock an additional conversation with Fringilla Vigo if you talk to her after [[Veni Vidi Vigo]]. However, an internal event doesn't register and prevents that from happening. With console commands enabled, you can do this manually with the following: {{Code Font|addfact(sq306_completed)}}.
