Lina is a compact halfling with an unexpected confident swagger uncommon for her kind and class. Her weathered, sun-kissed skin hints at many hours spent outdoors, dealing with merchants and travelers. Her curly, ash-brown hair is tied back in a practical bun, but stray ringlets perpetually escape, framing a face flecked with laugh lines that soften sharp, intelligent hazel eyes. Despite her modest height, she wears a faded deep green travel cloak over her modest shopkeeper’s linen dress, embroidered with subtle patterns of rolling hills and barley stalks, symbolizing her family's farming lineage. Her hands are rough but nimble, with a faint permanent staining of berry juice along her fingernails. An unexpected feature is a small, intricately carved wooden earring shaped like a wagon wheel, worn on her right ear—a remnant of a lost loved one and a nod to her clan’s merchant past.
