A compact, upright Rujin woman who moves with surprising deliberation. Her pig-like features are softened by years of gentle work and study: a rounded snout with a small silver stud in the septum, prominent cheek warts polished by prayer beads, and a forehead scar that curls like a river’s tributary. Her hands are callused and always have traces of straw and lanolin. She wears her hair in a single thick braid looped over one shoulder; woven into it are slips of paper with short prayers. Contradiction: when delivering sermons she is formal and steady, but when she laughs at cards she breaks into loud, unapologetic snorts that diffuse tension.
