Halfling
Appearance
Shortstop is a compact halfling woman with the dense, grounded posture of someone who has spent a lifetime carrying ceremonial stones through flooded tunnels. Her skin is warm brown, weathered by mineral dust and cold underground water, with fine pale lines across her knuckles from years of handling rough crystal tablets. Her silver-black hair is braided into a heavy crown, each braid threaded with tiny clay seals. She moves slowly enough to seem harmless, yet every turn of her head is exact and immediate, as though she has been waiting for the room to reveal itself. The unexpected contradiction is her smile: broad, almost grandmotherly, and utterly sincere even when she is delivering a political threat.
“Low, patient, and carefully articulated. She rarely raises her voice above a confidential murmur, forcing listeners to lean closer.”

Distinguishing Features
A thumb-sized bronze bell hangs from her staff, but it has never made a sound in public.
The clay seal on her left sleeve is worn completely smooth from rubbing it whenever someone lies.
Her braids are threaded with tiny tablets stamped with the names of the dead.
Within a minute of meeting her, most people notice that she remembers where they first stood and what they touched.
Voice
“A husky contralto softened by years of ritual recitation, with an unsettling warmth that makes even a threat sound like a blessing.”
Clothing
Layered indigo council robes beneath a sleeveless vest of lacquered leather scales. The hems are weighted with small bronze tablets bearing clan names. She wears soft stone-gray boots polished smooth at the toes from pacing council chambers.
Body Language
She sits with both feet flat on the floor and her hands folded over her staff. When displeased, she becomes more still rather than more animated. Her attention follows a speaker's hands, not their face.
