|desc=Hedwig is a tall, fair-skinned woman with red hair and green eyes.  Her face is usually obscured by a mask, but beneath she is extremely lovely, despite being obviously inhuman. Hedwig can usually be seen sporting a Hussar jacket- modified into a modern style when she wants to blend in, or a more traditional military look for formal occasions. Her hair is usually up in a knot of varying elaborateness, but when down the length easily reaches her thighs. Her half-Polish heritage is a stubborn source of pride for her despite the scandal it has brought her.
