Appearance
Rhoswen Mair has a soft, rounded face and a calm, almost domestic presence that makes the shop feel warmer when they enter it. Their hands are broad-fingered and permanently marked by commerce: copper dust beneath the nails, fine cuts across the knuckles, and a faint scent of cedar, orange peel, and lamp oil. They move with careful economy, sliding rather than walking around crowded shelves, yet can turn suddenly quick when a falling bottle needs catching. Their smile is gentle, but their eyes constantly measure exits, hands, and hidden intentions. The unexpected contradiction is their hair, which is kept in a severe, military-short crop despite the otherwise cozy impression they cultivate. When frightened, they become unnervingly still, like a shop mannequin waiting for someone to blink.
“Rhoswen speaks in a low, unhurried voice, with rounded vowels and careful pauses. Their phrasing is courteous but exact, and they often use practical images involving hinges, knots, weather, or spoiled fruit.”

Distinguishing Features
A pale crescent-shaped burn scar behind the left ear.
A copper coin fused into the sole of their walking stick.
The left sleeve is always pinned slightly shorter than the right.
Their fingertips are stained blue by a proprietary counterfeit-detection dye.
A tiny bell hangs beneath the shop counter and rings only when someone lies about their name.
Voice
“Warm, husky, and quiet enough that customers instinctively lean closer. Their laughter is brief, breathy, and usually arrives half a second after everyone else's.”
Clothing
A moss-green waistcoat over a cream linen shirt, patched charcoal trousers, soft leather shoes, and a long brown shop apron sewn with hidden pockets. A narrow copper chain holds a ring of tiny keys at their hip. The clothing is practical, carefully mended, and always smells faintly of cedar shavings.
Body Language
They lean toward people when listening, but angle their body toward the nearest exit. Their thumb rubs along the edge of a copper coin whenever they are calculating risk. In anger, they straighten their sleeves and begin arranging objects into perfect rows.
