Head of Studies (Lady Elara) by DM Stash

She doesn't raise her voice in the lecture hall — she simply raises one hand, lets the familiar weave between her ankles, and waits for the room to go very, very quiet.

Lady Elara is the Head of Studies at the Arcane University — and every inch of her sculpt communicates authority worn lightly. Her wide-brimmed witch's hat curves to a dramatic peak and is adorned with a spiralling horn ornament, lending her an air of eccentric power. Her cloak billows wide as though caught mid-stride, while beneath it a corset and layered robes speak to someone who insists on looking composed even when she isn't.

The pose is wonderfully dynamic: one leg raised as she strides forward, a wand extended in one hand and the other outstretched in a gesture that might be a greeting or might be the opening of a spell — Elara keeps people guessing. At her feet, a fluffy cat familiar winds itself around her leg, which at Mitz & Simz we find particularly relatable. The sculpt's circular base features arcane sigils and runic engravings that make it a worthy display plinth even before paint touches it.

Viewed from the back, the sheer volume of her robes becomes clear — great sweeping folds of fabric that would reward both drybrushing and layering, offering a canvas for painters at any skill level. The cat familiar's fur texture is equally crisp, with individual tufts visible at this scale.

Lady Elara works equally well as a powerful NPC wizard or academic authority figure, a player character wizard or warlock who leans into the arcane scholar aesthetic, or a BBEG who turns out to be running the whole university for her own ends — which the players really should have seen coming.

This miniature suits adventurers who:

• Need a memorable wizard NPC for a magic academy or scholarly setting
• Are playing an arcane caster with a familiar and want a mini to match
• Enjoy the arcane university, magical college, or Strixhaven-adjacent campaign style
• Want a display mini with dynamic fabric detail and a character companion piece

Encounter Hook: The party has been summoned to Lady Elara's study to explain why half the university's restricted texts have gone missing — but as they wait for her to arrive, her familiar begins circling a particular bookcase with unsettling intent, and they realise Elara might already know far more than she's letting on.
