Appearance
Mara is a broad-shouldered riverwoman with a weathered face and the quick, economical movements of someone who has carried trays for decades. Her apron is always spotless in front and permanently stained at the hem with ash, onion skins, and old rain. She has one sleeve pinned up with a polished bone clasp and wears a silver wedding ring on a cord around her wrist instead of her finger. The unexpected thing is the tiny patch of frost-white hair at one temple, as if a winter spirit once kissed her there and never quite let go.
“Soft-spoken and conversational, with a habit of dropping a person's name into the middle of a sentence to see if they flinch. She uses pet names for locals, formal courtesy for strangers, and razor-edged politeness for liars.”

Distinguishing Features
A silver ring worn on a cord around her wrist instead of her hand.
Fine pale scar lines on her left forearm shaped like reed cuts.
A faint metallic scent follows her, strongest near the well.
One temple of frost-white hair.
A permanent crease between her brows that deepens when she hears the word reeds.
Voice
“Low, warm, and textured like river gravel under water, with a dry edge that appears whenever she is worried or angry.”
Clothing
A brown wool dress under a blue-gray apron, soft leather shoes for quick steps on wet floorboards, a narrow belt with keys and a pouch of dried herbs, and a shawl lined in faded silver thread worn only when she goes to the bridge or the chapel.
Body Language
She stands slightly angled toward exits and windows, one hand often resting on the edge of a table as if feeling the room's pulse. When she is pleased, she smooths her apron twice with both palms. When angry, she becomes very still, and her eyes do the moving for her.
