English term or phrase: lady
I’m Raven, and I’d love a glass of mineral water.”
Brian hailed a nearby waitress.
“Bring the lady whatever she wants.”

Brian é um cliente no Clube dos Cavalheiros, e Raven, uma das dançarinas. Ela é solteira e jovem (aprox. 20-30 anos).

Qual seria uma boa tradução para PT-Br? Encontrei "dama" e "senhora" no dicionário, mas não me parecem cabíveis neste contexto.

Explanation:
Em PT-BR acho que o mais natural seria dizer: "traga (traz) o que ela quiser (pedir), por favor".
