Sela Pumari
Apprentice Weaver
Sela Pumari
Species
Human
Appearance
Sela has a serene, concentrated presence that makes a busy workshop seem quieter around her. She moves with the economical rhythm of someone who has spent years avoiding snarled thread, turning her whole body rather than reaching awkwardly. Her hands are small, strong, and permanently softened by lanolin, while the tips of her fingers carry faint blue stains from indigo dye. She studies a room by looking first at hems, cuffs, straps, and loose threads, not at faces. An unexpected contradiction marks her at once: despite her gentle, almost domestic appearance, she wears a heavy iron shuttle at her belt and handles it with the practiced ease of a street fighter. Her presence leaves the impression of warmth held behind discipline, like lamplight behind thick curtains.
“Soft, measured, and low enough that people must lean closer. She pauses before important nouns, as if checking their tension.”

Distinguishing Features
A dark indigo stain curves across both palms, as though she is permanently wearing invisible gloves.
Her eyes travel to cuffs, belts, loose seams, and hanging cords before settling on a speaker's face.
She carries a heavy iron shuttle with a thumb-polished groove worn into one side.
The small brass thimble on her left index finger is dented inward and never removed, even while eating.
Her footsteps are nearly silent because she pads them in scraps of felt from failed garments.
Voice
“A calm contralto with a slight river-valley lilt, warm when speaking to workers and precise when addressing nobles”
Clothing
A faded saffron blouse under a moss-green wool vest, a soot-brown work skirt reinforced with hidden pockets, thick gray stockings, and soft leather shoes. A narrow woven sash circles her waist, decorated with tiny red knots that mark debts owed to her family. Her iron shuttle hangs from a cord whose leather has been polished smooth exactly where her thumb grips it.
Body Language
Sela sits or stands very still while listening, but her fingers are never idle. She winds thread around one knuckle, tests the tension of a sleeve cuff, or traces invisible patterns against her palm. In danger, her posture becomes low and balanced, with one shoulder angled toward the nearest exit.
