My stereotype reaction for her is long, dark hair. You may not want to go there. Long, blonde hair, and business like demeanour?
The layabout: long hair, medium to light brown or (platinum?) blond, probably a semi-permanent smirk. Tendency toward loose, light-colored clothing. No name coming to mind. The maybe-a-shaman: short dark hair, or long but kept in a tight hairdo (coiled braid(s), nailed-down bun, or similar). Well-used motorcycle leathers — including boots — in dark-but-not-black colors. Street name Shadia (after the actress), real name not often admitted to. I have no idea why they’re nigh unto opposite in my head.
