Rhevren is a lean wood elf with warm brown skin, dark hair usually tied back with sail twine, and a weathered green wool coat over practical armor. They take up surprisingly little room in a crowded space, but stand with their weight settled forward on the balls of their feet, as if already adjusting to a deck's roll. Their hands are quick and precise, often busy with a loose cord or a buckle.

Quietly alert and steady under pressure, Rhevren notices changes in wind, mood, and footing before most people do. They are generous with practical help, but uncomfortable with praise and reluctant to let anyone else take the first watch.

Rhevren grew up among the wooded headlands and tidal inlets of the coast, where their wood-elf kin watched the old paths inland and the fishing crews watched the weather offshore. They were never the strongest hand on a line, but they learned to move in the instant between a wave's rise and its fall. In time, they signed on with a small coaster whose berth was at Net-Menders' Reach, a harbor built where generations of net-makers had cleared the marsh.
