Species
Dragonborn
Appearance
Kura is a broad-shouldered dragonborn woman with rust-red scales dulled by years of road dust and smoke. Fine black soot has settled permanently into the grooves around her horns, giving her face the look of a carved clay mask. One horn is neatly filed flat at the tip, while the other curves forward like a hooked tool. She moves with economical, deliberate steps, never quite turning her back on an open doorway. Her hands are heavily callused, but her claws are carefully polished and painted with tiny white route marks. She looks severe at first glance, yet her tail sways with almost comic enthusiasm whenever she hears cooking or children's laughter.
“Low, clipped, and precise. Her voice has a dry rasp like a shovel dragged over kiln brick.”

Distinguishing Features
A flattened left horn marked with three tiny brass rings.
A pale crack-like scar running from her lower jaw to her collarbone.
White route symbols painted on her claws before every journey.
A blue scarf wrapped around her wrist, never removed in public.
Her shadow sometimes appears edged with drifting ember motes when she is intensely focused.
Voice
“A low contralto with a dry rasp, controlled even when she is furious. When speaking to children or the injured, she softens every consonant and sounds almost musical.”
Clothing
A soot-stained coat of riveted scale armor beneath a sleeveless ochre travel mantle. Her shield is wrapped in red cord, her boots are reinforced with mismatched metal plates, and a faded blue scarf belonging to her missing brother is tied around her left wrist.
Body Language
She stands squarely with her shield arm slightly forward, as if expecting the room itself to lunge. Her head tilts toward every unfamiliar sound. When embarrassed, she rubs one thumb over the flattened tip of her horn. When angry, she becomes very still, and only the slow tightening of her jaw reveals it.
