Women of West Ardougne are citizens of West Ardougne; they are the counterparts of men of West Ardougne. They are similar to ordinary women found throughout RuneScape; however, unlike other women, these women can only be attacked and talked to, and not pickpocketed; their appearance is slightly different, in keeping with the theme of West Ardougne supposedly being afflicted with a plague; and their dialogue is slightly different, reflecting their plight under Mourner rule, during the later part of the Elven Civil War. They are often seen near the civilians and children of West Ardougne. As they are exclusively found in West Ardougne, they are also members-only NPCs.
