Pydwyn Sede
Species
Vampire
Appearance
Pydwyn is only 5 feet 3 inches tall, but she carries herself with the still, exact posture of a much taller person. Her movements are economical and almost noiseless, with a slight forward tilt that makes her seem perpetually attentive to a private sound beneath the floor. Her skin is pale blue-white, like porcelain left beneath moonlight, yet it is warm and faintly flushed around the knuckles when she is angry. Her short, wavy black hair curls around her ears in soft, unruly loops that contradict the severe precision of her manners. Her pale blue eyes have no visible reflection in them, but when she casts a spell, tiny gold letters drift across her irises. The first impression she leaves is of a dignified scholar. The second is that she is watching everyone as if they might suddenly break.
“Her voice is low, lucid, and carefully paced, with a faint borderland lilt. She pronounces names with unusual care, placing stress on unexpected syllables.”

Distinguishing Features
A tiny gold fleck moves beneath the skin of her left palm whenever someone nearby lies.
She pauses before speaking as if listening to a distant bell.
Her reflection in polished metal is always dressed in a plain gray mourning gown, regardless of what she wears.
She never casts a shadow in candlelight, but casts one beneath moonlight.
Her left canine is capped with a small silver rune rather than being visibly elongated.
Voice
“A low, calm contralto with a faint roughness at the edges, like velvet dragged over paper. Her laughter is surprisingly warm and brief, while her anger makes her nearly whisper.”
Clothing
She wears an ornate midnight-blue gown embroidered with silver observatory diagrams and tiny constellations that slowly change position. The high collar is fastened with a tarnished brass brooch shaped like a closed eye. Beneath the gown are practical black trousers and soft, split-soled boots. Her sleeves conceal chalk, lockpicks, folded maps, and small vials of grave salt.
Body Language
She stands nearly motionless while listening, one hand resting over the opposite wrist. When irritated, she smooths the left sleeve of her gown three times. Before casting a spell, she raises her chin and inhales through her teeth as if tasting the air.
