Slender High Elf with a bookish poise. She moves with the calm, measured gait of someone used to long corridors and quiet stacks of tomes. Her scholar's coat is fitted, its lapels embroidered with tiny, geometric glyphs that shift faintly when she speaks. A travel-worn charcoal cloak hangs from her shoulders, frayed at the hems and dotted with small ink stains and soot burns. Brown hair falls loose to her collar in soft, slightly tangled waves, often pushed back behind one ear by a habit more mechanical than thoughtful. Her small round glasses perch low on her nose and catch light when she looks down at notes, making her emerald eyes look sharper when she raises them. Unexpectedly, she wears a simple iron ring on the third finger of her left hand that is heavily scratched and looks far older than the rest of her neat attire. A faint, pearly shimmer clings to the skin of her right palm; when she flexes it the shimmer ripples like light on water, evidence of a gem implanted there.
