The Mirror Dimension, a mirrored world identical to Reality yet completely opposite.
Ancient One brought the Thoughtform to the tea room. An orange-red magic circle flashed upward from below, and her mage robes transformed into a white practice outfit.

"Then Mingqian Longjing. It's one of my prized teas." Ancient One smiled, then retrieved a tea set, tea leaves, and a small stove from a portal and brewed it on the spot.

It was not because Ancient One's tea-making skills were particularly exceptional, but because she had put on such a display that he felt both flattered and somewhat pressured.

She spent most of her time on Earth, only occasionally visiting other dimensions to take advantage of them a little.
"Mr. Gaius, when did you see me?"
"During the Chitauri invasion."
