Mairi Quispe is a small, extraordinarily beautiful half-elf whose age appears as refinement rather than decline. Her pale skin is soft, carefully moisturized, and almost luminous beneath a thin application of rose powder and darkened lashes. Her medium-brown hair has never greyed, and she wears it in an elegant French braid pinned close to the back of her head with tiny brass combs. She moves with the slow, measured grace of someone accustomed to being watched, yet her feet are always placed like a kitchen worker avoiding spilled broth. Her face is symmetrical and almost royal, but one eyebrow sits slightly higher than the other, giving her beauty a permanently skeptical edge. She has a modest chest, broad hips, and a surprisingly powerful lower body beneath her dress. Her hands look delicate until she grips something. Her long black-painted nails, each crossed by thin white stripes, click softly against wood, glass, and armor. The impression she leaves is of immaculate luxury held together by practical stubbornness.
