Women in Mahabharata - Tilottama
Created by Vishvakarnma in order to trick the Daitya leaders Sunda nad Upasunda to fight each other, the apsara Tilottama is hailed as one of the most alluring personalities within Mahabharata. She is said to have been a source of distraction for even Shiva and Sakra.
In my imagination, she is a free woman, whose independence is what truly attracts the men who are narratively linked with her.
