Species
Tiefling
Appearance
Kina Lanette is a blue-skinned tiefling with the polished beauty of a jeweled blade. Her skin is deep cobalt at the shoulders and fades to dusky indigo at her hands, where tiny silver sparks sometimes crawl beneath the surface like trapped minnows. Two swept-back horns rise from her brow in pale, ridged spirals, carefully oiled and wrapped at the bases with red thread. Her gold eyes have narrow vertical pupils and catch reflections before the rest of her face does. She moves with a hunter's economy, never quite standing still, yet every gesture seems deliberately posed for an audience. Her smile is bright, practiced, and unexpectedly tender when she thinks nobody is watching. The contradictory detail people remember is her hands: her nails are lacquered gold and shaped like claws, but her palms are heavily callused and nicked from years of climbing masonry, loading crossbows, and repairing her own gear. She smells faintly of rain on hot stone, expensive citrus oil, and ozone.
“Her voice is low, breathy, and sibilant, with carefully placed pauses. She rolls certain names softly across her tongue, especially Suyuq and Tashiri, and makes compliments sound like wagers.”

Distinguishing Features
Fine silver sparks flicker beneath the cobalt skin of her forearms when she is excited or angry.
Her horn bases are wrapped in red thread marked with tiny knot patterns that record completed contracts.
She wears a saffron scarf repaired so many times that the original fabric is almost hidden by careful stitching.
Her gold eyes brighten several heartbeats before nearby lightning strikes.
Her hands combine immaculate gold claws with unmistakable climbing and weapon-maintenance calluses.
Voice
“A smoky contralto with a velvet rasp, intimate even when speaking across a battlefield”
Clothing
She wears a fitted storm-gray coat lined with crimson geometric embroidery, a sleeveless black silk blouse, high-waisted leather trousers, and soft-soled boots reinforced with copper plates. Her belt carries pouches of coin, chalk, wire, and spell components. A single saffron scarf is visibly over-cared-for, repeatedly washed, darned, and folded with ceremonial precision. Her jewelry is intentionally mismatched: gold rings on one hand, cheap brass rings on the other.
Body Language
Kina leans closer when she lies and steps away when she tells the truth. Her tail makes slow, metronomic curves when she is calculating, then goes rigid just before violence. In combat she pivots on the balls of her feet as if dancing on wet tiles, keeping one hand open to guide lightning.
