[edit] In The Witcher computer game
The hunt for the free elves who had been resting near Murky Waters was led by White Rayla, a mercenary hired by the Order of the Flaming Rose. She had her right hand severed under sadistic torture when she was captured by the Scoia'tael trying to help villagers who were later judged to have been traitors. Her moral stance on the fate of the villagers of Murky Waters then comes as no surprise as she accuses them of being traitors for harboring the elves.
She is fatally shot by Yaevinn during the battle of Old Vizima. In fact, she has the most dramatic death scene in the whole game.
Later, Salamandra find her, while apparently not completely dead, close to death and subject her to mutation. Rayla recuperates and, as a mutant, regains her strength in no time. In return for her second "more perfect" life, she presumably has to swear absolute loyalty to her new masters. It is highly unlikely that she is in any shape to make those sorts of decisions anyway, post-mutation. Her few interjections during Azar Javed's speech to Geralt suggest that her intellectual faculties did not survive the mutation unscathed. She tries to stop Geralt and he has to kill her. For good, this time.
Depending on the path Geralt chooses, White Rayla is one of three possible, but mutually exclusive, sexual conquests Geralt can have in Act V. He sleeps with her if he chooses the Order path. Their exchange just prior to their roll in the hay is quite amusing, making killing her, even mutated as she is, sort of sadder than it might have been.
