Ignis Coda

0·Woman·Medium
Lawful neutral with a growing devotion to compassionate justice

Species

Dragonborn

Appearance

Ignis Coda is a tall dragonborn woman whose copper scales have the polished warmth of old kitchenware, though the scales along her left shoulder are permanently smoke-stained. She moves with the careful, measured grace of someone carrying a full bowl of oil, never wasting a step or letting her tail brush against furniture. Her immaculate red robes are pleated so sharply that they seem almost armored, and their hems are embroidered with tiny black flames. The unexpected contradiction is her hands: elegant, jeweled, and meticulously scrubbed, except for one blackened thumbnail that she refuses to heal. She leaves behind the impression of a temple bell just after it stops ringing, solemn, resonant, and impossible to ignore.

Height6 feet 8 inches
BuildTall and broad-shouldered, with a strong, practical frame built by years of hauling oil, coals, and shrine braziers
EyesDeep amber with tiny ember-red flecks
HairNone, though she wears a thin crest of copper beads between her horns
SkinBurnished copper with darker bronze scales along the spine and smoke-blackened scales near the left shoulder

Low, precise, and ceremonially formal, with a dry rasp like a match being struck. Her words become gentle and almost musical when addressing children, the grieving, or a frightened animal.”

Distinguishing Features

A permanently blackened thumbnail on her right hand

Two short horns capped with thin copper bands engraved with the names of former flamekeepers

A narrow scar running from the corner of her mouth to her jaw

Smoke-stained scales on her left shoulder that never return to their original copper color

A faint scent of cinnamon, hot metal, and rain-soaked ash

Voice

A controlled contralto with a furnace-deep resonance, soft enough to draw listeners closer and sharp enough to cut through a crowded market.

Clothing

Immaculate layered red robes of fire-resistant wool and silk, secured by a copper sash bearing the flamekeeper seal. She wears ash-gray gloves, soft black boots, a soot-darkened prayer cord, and a brass lantern suspended from a chain at her waist.

Body Language

Ignis stands perfectly upright, with her hands folded behind her back and her chin slightly raised. When listening, she tilts her head toward the speaker as though judging a flame's direction. Her tail becomes rigid when she hears a lie, and her blackened thumbnail taps twice against her palm whenever she is afraid.
