Appearance
Elarra Rootmother appears as a tall, broad-shouldered woman whose body seems sculpted from living walnut beneath warm, weathered skin. Fine rootlike lines spread from her wrists, throat, and temples, glowing faintly whenever she speaks a divine command. Her movements are slow and deliberate, yet each step lands with the certainty of a falling tree. Moss grows between the seams of her knuckles, and tiny white flowers open in her footprints before fading moments later. Her face is stern and grandmotherly, with a crooked smile that appears only when someone admits fault without excuse. The unexpected contradiction is her hands: despite her immense divine power, they are delicate, ink-stained, and covered in old calluses from years spent repairing children's wooden toys.
“Her voice is low, resonant, and unhurried, like wind passing through a hollow trunk. Every sentence seems to settle into the listener rather than merely reach them.”

Distinguishing Features
A crown of short, antlerlike roots grows from her temples and changes shape with the seasons.
Her shadow resembles a sprawling tree with roots reaching toward the nearest living creature.
One of her fingernails is made of translucent amber containing a tiny trapped moth.
Every footprint she leaves briefly sprouts a single white flower.
A thin scar circles her throat, the mark left by the divine oath she made when the Worldroot died.
Voice
“A deep contralto softened by age, rain, and endless patience”
Clothing
A layered mantle of dark green wool, bark-fiber cloth, and soft brown leather, fastened with polished acorns of silver. Beneath it she wears plain cream linen, practical traveling boots, and a belt hung with seed pouches. Her clothing is modest and functional despite her divine status.
Body Language
Elarra stands with both feet planted firmly, often resting one hand on her staff as if feeling vibrations through the floor. She tilts her head when someone lies, not in confusion but in confirmation. When pleased, she loosens her shoulders and brushes invisible dust from another person's sleeve. When furious, she becomes completely motionless.
