Species

Appearance
A slight olive-skinned girl with the solemn concentration of an old craftsperson. She moves with a quick, sideways half-step, always keeping one shoulder angled toward the nearest exit. Her hands are unusually memorable: the fingertips are darkened by soot, the nails cut short, and the palms toughened with tiny crescent calluses from gripping hot molds and bell cords. Her hair is thick, dark brown, and gathered into two uneven coils tied with copper wire. Her eyes are warm hazel, but her gaze is often fixed on people's throats, wrists, or belt buckles as though measuring the noises they make. She leaves the impression of a cautious sparrow until she suddenly becomes perfectly motionless, listening. The contradiction is that she looks delicate and poorly fed, yet carries herself with the stubborn balance of someone accustomed to lifting objects heavier than herself.
“Careful and clipped when dealing with strangers, faster and more expressive when discussing bells, tunnels, animals, or mechanical things. She sometimes pauses mid-sentence to listen for distant sounds.”

Distinguishing Features
Soot-darkened fingertips and unusually tough, callused palms for a child.
Two uneven coils of dark hair bound with copper wire.
A habit of turning her head slightly toward sounds before answering.
A faint ringing follows her when she walks, caused by three tiny bells hidden in her belt.
Her left shoe is always tied with red cord, while the right is tied with blue.
Voice
“A low, husky child's voice with a slight rasp from years of foundry smoke. She can make it nearly inaudible when frightened and startlingly sharp when giving an alarm.”
Clothing
A patched russet wool dress over a soot-stained linen shirt, a short charcoal apron, soft leather shoes wrapped with cloth at the ankles, and a belt carrying three tiny bells, a coil of cord, and a pouch of polished scrap metal.
Body Language
Nino keeps her elbows close to her ribs and rarely stands squarely before another person. Her weight shifts from heel to toe in tiny rhythmic pulses, except when she hears something important, at which point she freezes completely. She touches the copper wire in her hair whenever she is deciding whether to trust someone.
