A wood elf woman of lean, compact build, with weather-browned olive skin and dark copper hair usually tied in a practical knot. Her hands are strong and carefully kept, the fingertips faintly rough from years of locks, rope, and cold metal. Within a minute of meeting her, most people notice that she constantly checks the small brass clasp at her collar, rubbing it between two fingers whenever she is thinking. Her green-gray eyes are alert and amused, and her clothes favor muted browns, moss green, and soft leather suited for city alleys or forest paths.

Sivra is observant, irreverent, and difficult to impress. She treats conversation like a card game, watching what people protect, what they volunteer, and which questions they avoid. She enjoys clever company but distrusts anyone who calls themselves honorable before proving it. Beneath her guarded humor is a practical kindness, especially toward runaways, street children, and anyone being cornered by people with more power than sense.

Sivra grew up on the edge of a woodland trade road, where caravans passed beneath ancient trees and paid little attention to the quiet elf children watching from the brush. Her family survived by repairing tack, mending locks, and occasionally taking what wealthy travelers failed to guard. Sivra proved unusually gifted with mechanisms. She could hear a tumbling pin through a door and tell whether a purse carried coins, gems, or nothing but dried beans by the way its weight shifted. When a burglary went wrong, Sivra accepted blame for a crime committed by her older brother, buying him time to escape and earning herself a place in a city gang. The gang taught her every useful vice, from forgery to rooftop routes, but it also taught her that loyalty among thieves is often just debt wearing a friendly face. She eventually stole a ledger that exposed the gang's dealings with a magistrate and fled before either side could silence her. Now she works as a cautious adventurer, taking jobs that offer freedom, leverage, and enough danger to keep her past from catching up.
