Species
Half-Elf
Appearance
Sable Vance is strikingly beautiful in a severe, almost unsettling way. Her features are fine and symmetrical, with high cheekbones, a narrow chin, and an expression that suggests she is always listening to a second conversation beneath the first. She moves with careful economy, never quite seeming to hurry, even when danger is close. Her fingers are stained at the tips with permanent blue-black ink, and her smile is warm enough to disarm strangers. The contradiction is that her immaculate face is paired with the battered, practical hands of a dockworker, covered in old calluses, tiny burns, and paper cuts. She leaves people with the impression of having been studied, catalogued, and remembered.
“Elegant, precise, and lightly sardonic. Sable speaks as though every sentence might be quoted in a future history book.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent-shaped scar behind her left ear, left by a burning book clasp
Ink stains that never fade from her fingertips
A tiny silver key worn on a chain around her throat
Her shadow sometimes shows her holding a quill even when her hands are empty
Voice
“A low, clear contralto with a faint musical lilt inherited from her elven mother. She sounds calm even when casting destructive magic, which makes her anger more frightening than shouting would.”
Clothing
A fitted charcoal traveling coat lined with red silk, a high-collared ivory blouse, reinforced riding trousers, and soft leather boots. Her belt carries scroll cases, sealing wax, knives, and a silver magnifying lens. Her cuffs are embroidered with tiny letters that rearrange themselves when she casts a spell.
Body Language
Sable holds herself very straight, but one shoulder dips when she is tired. When concentrating, she presses her thumb against the side of her index finger as though turning an invisible page. Her hands become animated and expressive when discussing history, then suddenly still when the subject turns personal.
