When first encountered in the Discworld books, she is a sixteen-year-old girl with silver hair and silver eyes who, it transpires, has been sixteen for around thirty years (no time passes in Death's Domain). When Mort first encountered Ysabell, he was given the impression of "too many chocolates". She also has a fixation for the colour pink.
