Appearance
Sahra is a lean high elf with copper-brown skin, sharply angled features, and dark hair worn in a short, uneven braid secured with brass beads. Her amber eyes brighten faintly when her magic stirs, and a subtle pattern of bronze scales traces one side of her neck, a mark of her draconic bloodline. She dresses in practical dark clothing beneath a weathered burgundy cloak, with a silver ring shaped like a curling dragon around one finger.
Mannerisms
Sahra taps one brass bead whenever she is calculating a lie. She rarely sits with her back to a door, and she tilts her head slightly before answering a question, as though listening to a voice only she can hear.
Personality
Sahra is quick-witted, observant, and socially nimble, but she keeps every conversation half a step away from sincerity. She enjoys the theater of deception more than the profit, often improvising elaborate lies simply because a plain answer feels too vulnerable. Beneath her practiced cynicism, she is fiercely protective of people who are overlooked, cornered, or treated as property.
Ideals
Freedom. No family, law, guild, or god has the right to decide what I become.
Bonds
I owe my freedom to the fence who hid me when my family came looking, and I will protect that person even when the debt becomes dangerous.
Flaws
Sahra cannot resist proving that she is smarter than the person questioning her, even when silence would keep her safe. She also treats sincere affection as a trap and is quickest to betray someone the moment she begins to care about them.
Quirks
Background
Sahra Nsimba was raised among high elves who considered bloodline, scholarship, and flawless etiquette the proper measures of a person. Her own family carried an older secret. A distant ancestor had made a pact of blood with a red dragon, and every few generations the inheritance surfaced as heat beneath the skin, a flash of gold in the eyes, or magic that arrived before its wielder understood it. Sahra's first spell erupted during a formal recital, scorching a noble's tapestry and exposing the family's carefully hidden shame. Rather than submit to years of ceremonial confinement and magical study, she disappeared into the city below the elven quarter.
