Maelis Quillshadow
Rogue
Maelis Quillshadow
Species
Half-Elf
Appearance
Maelis has the poised, watchful stillness of a cat waiting beside a mouse hole. Her movements are economical and nearly silent, yet her hands are always busy folding paper, counting coins, or tracing invisible letters on nearby surfaces. Her face is sharply handsome, softened by a dimple that appears only when she is lying. A thin scar crosses her lower lip, giving her smile a permanent suggestion of mischief. She looks like a dangerous professional hiding in a shopkeeper's life, but she has an unexpected tenderness toward damaged books, injured animals, and rude children.
“Maelis speaks in a low, controlled voice with a soft river-city accent. Her sentences are polished but rarely straightforward.”

Distinguishing Features
A scar through her lower lip that pulls her smile slightly to the left.
A silver thimble permanently fitted over the tip of her left index finger.
A tiny black tattoo of a closed eye behind her right ear.
Her shadow sometimes points toward the nearest locked door instead of following the light.
She smells faintly of cedarwood, sealing wax, and rain on stone.
Voice
“A smoky alto with a precise, intimate delivery, like a secret being read aloud beside a dying candle.”
Clothing
She wears a charcoal waistcoat over a deep green blouse, fitted riding trousers, soft leather boots, and a long plum-colored coat lined with stitched pockets. Her gloves are mismatched, one black and one cream, because she claims each hand deserves a different opinion.
Body Language
Maelis leans slightly toward people when they speak, as though catching a secret beneath their words. When relaxed, she rests one boot on a stool and balances a quill across her knuckles. When angry, she becomes perfectly motionless except for the slow tightening of her fingers around a coin.
