Appearance
Zsanna is a young human woman whose presence arrives before her words do. She stands straight and nearly motionless, her posture so carefully composed that people mistake stillness for certainty. Her navy-blue ballgown falls in heavy, lustrous folds, with narrow gold trim following the seams like architectural lines. The dress is expensive but not delicate, reinforced inside the bodice and faintly worn at the hem from walking through muddy courtyards. Her hands are small, square-knuckled, and marked by ink stains and tiny calluses from tallying grain ledgers herself. When she smiles, one upper canine sits slightly forward, giving her polished courtly expression an unexpectedly foxlike edge. She favors her left side when turning, not from injury but from years of keeping a ceremonial dagger hidden beneath that side of her skirt. The contradictory impression is striking: she looks like a queen painted onto a palace wall, yet she carries herself like a tired clerk who has been awake since dawn.
“Measured and low, with crisp consonants and a faint river-district accent beneath formal court diction. She rarely raises her volume.”

Distinguishing Features
A slightly forward upper canine that shows whenever she laughs.
A low, hammered-gold crown designed like a narrow river loop.
Ink stains that return to the sides of her fingers no matter how carefully she washes them.
A habit of standing perfectly still while everyone else shifts around her.
Gold trim on her gown that is patterned after warehouse tally marks rather than floral motifs.
Voice
“A low, controlled contralto that becomes almost gentle when she is asking someone to do something difficult. Her public voice sounds polished and distant, while her private voice carries the dry warmth of a tired worker discussing tomorrow's obligations.”
Clothing
A richly made navy-blue ballgown with intricate gold trim, a structured bodice, broad sleeves, and a modest square neckline. Beneath the gown she wears a hidden quilted vest, soft riding trousers, and a slim ceremonial dagger. Her crown is a low circlet of hammered gold rather than a towering coronet, set with a single dark blue river-stone. Her gloves are cream-colored, though the right glove usually bears a faint smear of ink.
Body Language
Zsanna keeps her shoulders level and her chin lifted, but her left thumb constantly rubs the edge of her signet ring. In public she moves with deliberate, measured steps and turns her whole body toward whoever speaks. In private fatigue makes her lean against tables, remove her shoes, and pace in short circles while thinking.
