Appearance
A fair-skinned young woman with bright blue eyes, sun-colored hair, and an expressive face that seems permanently caught between a grin and an apology. She moves with quick, cramped efficiency behind the counter, leaning over bottles, nudging labels straight with one finger, and somehow occupying far more space than her slight frame suggests. Her hair is braided with tiny corks and copper tags. She looks cheerful at first glance, but the constant checking of locks, ledgers, and bottle seals reveals a guarded shopkeeper beneath the banter. The unexpected contradiction is her immaculate hands: despite working with dyes, herbs, and volatile powders, her nails are always carefully clean and polished.
“Fast, friendly, and casually familiar, with frequent teasing, nervous laughter, and abrupt shifts into practical instructions. She speaks as if every customer is a friend she has known for years, then becomes visibly embarrassed when she realizes she has overshared.”

Distinguishing Features
Braids tiny corks and copper inventory tags into her blond hair.
Her blue eyes widen dramatically whenever she lies, making deception difficult.
Always carries a faint scent of peppermint, hot metal, and orange peel.
Takes up the entire counter with her elbows, ledgers, and half-sorted bottles without realizing it.
Has a habit of touching the nearest bottle three times before selling it.
Voice
“Bright and lightly breathless, with a teasing lilt that becomes clipped and authoritative when someone is hurt. Her laugh arrives half a second before the joke is finished.”
Clothing
A cream blouse with rolled sleeves, a teal waistcoat, a knee-length ochre skirt, sturdy ankle boots, and a leather apron crowded with measuring spoons, corks, and chalk. She wears practical shorts beneath the skirt for climbing ladders and moving crates, though she complains that the shop is always too warm.
Body Language
She leans forward over the counter as if sharing a secret, constantly adjusts crooked labels, and taps one knuckle against bottles while thinking. When nervous, she smiles too broadly and begins reorganizing objects that are already perfectly arranged.
