Appearance
Nera looks as though she has stepped out of a darkened town just after the last lamp went out. She is narrow-shouldered but wiry, with the balanced, economical movement of someone who has spent years crossing rooftops, market awnings, and broken paving stones. Her coat hangs too large for her body, making her seem taller when she stands still and surprisingly small when she moves. Damp black curls escape from beneath her hood in stiff, springlike loops, while her pale hands are always busy checking the same brass clasp at her throat. The unexpected detail is her smile: warm, almost domestic, and completely at odds with the silent streets and secrets she carries. People notice within a minute that Nera takes up more space than her slight frame should allow, not through volume or aggression, but through an unnerving certainty that the path ahead belongs to her.
“Low, clear, and economical. Nera speaks as though every sentence must fit inside a sealed envelope.”

Distinguishing Features
A thumb-sized brass clasp shaped like a closed eye is constantly checked at her throat.
Her coat smells faintly of rain, sealing wax, and burned rosemary.
She walks with almost no vertical motion, gliding over uneven ground while everyone else stumbles.
Her smile is warm and familiar, but her gaze keeps measuring exits and rooftops.
She carries a strip of blue pavement tile from her childhood street, polished smooth from years of handling.
Voice
“A quiet alto with a dry warmth, like a match struck in a cold room. When grief breaks through, her voice becomes almost childlike for a single word before returning to its controlled rhythm.”
Clothing
A weather-darkened blue-gray courier's coat with an oversized hood, layered over a high-collared linen shirt and fitted trousers. The coat contains hidden inner pockets, stitched route symbols, and a lining of faded red silk taken from her mother's map case. She wears soft-soled boots wrapped with strips of waxed cloth to silence her steps.
Body Language
Nera stands slightly sideways, as if preparing to slip through a gap no one else can see. Her head tilts toward distant sounds while her fingers repeatedly test the brass clasp at her throat. When frightened, she becomes perfectly still rather than visibly tense. When angry, she smiles and steps closer than comfort allows.
