"You don't have time to date, you're falling out of the tower!" ― Iga Lisowski
Iga Lisowski, otherwise known as Madame Anastasia, is a Polish tarot reader and fortune teller in New York City. She uses her psychic business in the Upper West Side to launder money for a number of eastern European crime families. She is played by Siobhan Thompson.
Description[]
"Yes, I am Anastasia, Madam Anastasia. I am one of the great psychics of New York City. All of those other psychics I've got to say are fraud. But me, I am the real thing. I read cards for my ladies, the Upper West side, the Upper East side, the Lower West side, the Lower East side. All kinds of people all over the city, they're come to me from my readings because they're so accurate and real. I'm 45 years young, I've got beautiful curly hair that I have wrapped in a scarf because people have a certain expectation of what their psychics are looking like. And I do have a pair of Tevas on also because you can’t really see the Tevas underneath the beautiful tablecloth that I have to do my readings on." ― Siobhan Thompson
Appearance[]
Iga is a middle aged Polish woman with long curly grey hair wrapped in a red scarf. She wears a salmon colored shirt, and a crimson colored skirt, along with a dark blue over shirt patterned with stars and moons. Iga also has on a pair of white Tevas, a type of chunky shoe, which aren't often seen beneath the table cloth she does readings one. She also wears a small untied mustard scarf, and some different colored jewelry.
Personality[]
Iga is a somewhat dry character, who doesn't care much about getting involved with the Unsleeping City, despite the power she draws from her box. She cares the most about concealing her abilities and protecting her family, as only recently has being able to do magic been seen as something other than something she can be persecuted for.
Background[]
Iga is the first generation of her family to live in New York, with her children, Nick and Jessica being born and having grown up there. In her family, there is a duty to protect an object that is passed down matrilineally throughout the generations, the Lisowski Chest, from which the women in the family draw their power.

Trivia[]
- Iga is Siobhan Thompson's second character in the world of The Unsleeping City.
- Iga is using an unofficial version of the Warlock "Genie" patron, based on Unearthed Arcana published in May 2020. The Genie subclass was officially published by WOTC in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything in early November 2020, very near to the start of the campaign.
- Because some Polish surnames are adapted based on gender, Iga's surname technically should be "Lisowska".
- However, it is common for Polish immigrants to use the same surname for their whole family regardless of gender, so it also makes sense for her name to be Lisowski.
