Though she seems fairly young, only twenty years in age, there is a sharp intelligence in her eyes. Still, her expression, when being true to her person, instead of hiding craftily behind a facade, is often distant, or a deadpan. Most think she is world weary. Some think she is rather stupid. Others believe she has lost her mind to the Golden Tower.
Perhaps one of them is true, and at the same time, they could all be untrue.
Ione works as an entertainer, a courtesan, a spy, and runs errands for the Tower of Gold. Like all Nymphs, her hair is a golden blonde; she is slim, but shapely; her features are soft, but her eyes are striking; her skin is smooth, with a light tan. All the product of the constant pampering and upkeep that Nymphs of the Golden Tower need to have to keep their job. When they become wrinkly and old, they are retired to the kitchens or the washrooms, where they are not seen by guests, or are given the roles of teachers to the next generations of Nymphs.
"When I was asked to show the new girls around the tower and give them tips, the one thing I always told them is to never let them know how much you can do. No matter who it was. You'll always need a new trick to pull."
