Magda is a Vistani who leads a clan called The Wanderers who primarily live in Sithicus. She is the descendant of Kulchek the Wanderer and the mother of Inza Kulkevich. Her bodyguard is the black hound Sabak. She wields a magical cudgel called Gard.
Magda is an intelligent and wise human woman in her mid-forties. She offers strangers assistance in the form of food, a safe place to spend the night, and a tarokka reading. Despite Magda's outgoing nature, her central preoccupation is the protection of her people. Once it became clear to her that the rift situation was getting worse, she decided to lead the Wanderers out of Sithicus. She is currently training her daughter Inza to read tarokka cards and intends that she will replace her one day, although she often seems exasperated with Inza's behavior.
