The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors

I've been a fan of George R. R. Martin's books for several years now, and am delighted with the HBO series based on his work.

While I sincerely appreciate Carice van Houten's portrayal of Melisandre, I was inspired by her character description in the books and have always pictured her differently from how she looks in the show.  So I opted to base my costume on my personal interpretation ^_^.
