Species

Appearance
Hessa is compact and deceptively sturdy, moving with the soft, balanced tread of someone who has spent years carrying trays, breaking up fights, and listening without seeming to listen. Her face is weathered in a way that makes her look older in candlelight and younger in daylight, with a faint scar at one corner of her mouth that deepens when she smiles. Her hands are quick and tidy, the fingertips nicked and pale from hot pans and old blade work. The strangest thing about her is the elegance of her posture: even in an apron stained with ale and stew, she stands like a woman expecting to be introduced at court.
“Low, steady, and dryly amused, with the easy cadence of someone who has heard every kind of lie. She speaks softly when angry, never wasting volume on threats she can make real.”

Distinguishing Features
A white scar through the right eyebrow shaped like a bent nail
A brass ring charm worn on a cord, said to be part of the wagon wheel that gave the tavern its name
A faint smell of rosemary, smoke, and metal polish
Callused fingertips despite her careful grooming
One ear pierced with three tiny silver hoops, each earned rather than bought
Voice
“Warm, measured, and a little rough from years of smoke and laughter, with a subtle edge that appears whenever someone lies badly.”
Clothing
A dark green linen shirt with rolled sleeves, a heavy brown apron with hidden inner pockets, sturdy black trousers, and soft-soled boots made for silent steps. She wears a plain brass wheel charm on a leather cord and a ring of keys at her belt.
Body Language
Controlled and economical, with a slight tilt of the head that suggests she is measuring a person in layers. When amused, one shoulder lifts before she smiles. When angry, she becomes still rather than loud.
