Appearance
Korig is a broad-shouldered woman with the soft, well-fed shape of someone who has spent years receiving gifts and never truly sharing them. Her movements are gentle and unhurried, almost maternal, yet every hand gesture ends with her fingers curling inward as if closing around invisible coins. Her teeth are unusually small, square, and numerous, packed tightly behind a smile that seems too wide for her jaw. When she laughs, she covers her mouth with both hands, but the laughter still leaks through her fingers in bright, delighted clicks. Her clothing is patched, faded, and badly fitted everywhere except for one immaculate gold-threaded sash she polishes with a scrap of velvet before every conversation. She smells faintly of honey, lamp oil, and old metal. The unexpected contradiction is that her hands are callused like a laborer's, while her voice and posture suggest a pampered courtier.
“Her voice is low, honeyed, and intimate, with the rhythm of someone telling a bedside story. She pauses before names and possessions as though weighing them in her mouth.”

Distinguishing Features
Her tightly packed square teeth show whenever she smiles, giving her warmth an unnerving, animal-like edge.
Her gold-threaded sash is spotless and meticulously repaired despite the decay of the rest of her clothing.
She carries a brass bowl that softly rattles with coins whenever she moves, though she claims it contains prayer stones.
Her fingertips are permanently darkened by metal polish and lamp soot.
She counts doors, windows, witnesses, and visible valuables in every room within moments of entering.
Voice
“A soothing contralto with a faint rasp at the end of each sentence, like velvet dragged over a coin.”
Clothing
A faded brown missionary's coat lined with mismatched velvet, patched wool trousers, soft leather boots, and the immaculate gold-threaded sash of The Opened. Her coat pockets bulge with sweets, keys, prayer tokens, and tiny labeled envelopes. Every button is different, but each has been polished until it shines.
Body Language
Korig leans forward when listening and keeps her palms open, but her thumbs constantly rub against her fingertips as if counting coins. She turns her body toward valuables without seeming to notice. When angry, she becomes perfectly still and smiles with her lips closed.
