Sivra is a lean wood elf with copper-brown skin, tightly braided black hair, and a narrow, athletic build suited to climbing and sudden movement. She dresses in softened green and umber leather, with a short cloak cut to avoid snagging on branches or door latches. Within a minute of meeting her, people notice that she rarely looks directly at faces. Her attention moves instead to hands, exits, windows, and the small gaps beneath furniture. Before speaking, she takes a quiet breath through her nose and pauses as if checking whether the room has changed.

Sivra is observant, dryly humorous, and quietly protective. She prefers practical help to comforting words, and she remembers small details that other people forget, such as a stranger's favorite tea or which boot they limp in. She dislikes grand speeches, crowded rooms, and anyone who calls theft harmless because the victim is rich.

Sivra grew up at the edge of a forest trade road, where elven couriers, charcoal burners, and human merchants all learned to distrust the same tollhouse. Her mother taught her the woodland paths, while her uncle taught her which locks were made to keep people out and which were made to make them feel safe. Sivra began as a lookout and message runner for a burglary crew, using her long memory and quiet feet to map guard rotations, kennel habits, and the routes that moonlight took across a roof. She was good at the work, but never comfortable with the people who paid for it. Her turning point came when the crew robbed a relief wagon carrying medicine to a fever-struck village. Sivra stole the ledgers, opened the locked crates, and helped distribute the medicine before vanishing into the trees. The crew marked her for betrayal, and the local magistrate marked her as a criminal anyway. She now travels under an assumed name, taking jobs that involve recovering stolen goods, exposing dishonest officials, or removing dangerous secrets from dangerous hands. She still knows how to enter a room without being invited. The difference is that she chooses more carefully who deserves to be left outside.
