Vraelyth is a broad-shouldered dragonborn woman whose dark bronze scales carry pale heat-scars around the neck and forearms, as if someone once poured molten metal over her skin and she simply kept working. Her horns sweep backward in uneven ridges, one tip capped with a silver guild sleeve and the other filed blunt after an old accident. She moves with startling precision for someone of her size, placing each foot as carefully as a smith placing a hammer blow, yet her hands are constantly in motion, tapping, measuring, or testing the air above a cooling ingot. Her face is severe at first glance, but the impression is complicated by a tiny collection of colorful glass beads braided into the spines behind her left ear. She smells of coal smoke, bitter tea, and rain on hot iron. The unexpected contradiction is that her intimidating, scarred appearance is paired with an almost delicate habit of handling injured insects and setting them free outside the furnace vents.
