Kethra Veyl of the Last Candle
Species
Outsider
Appearance
Kethra appears as a tall, serene woman wrapped in a veil of drifting smoke and pale lantern-light, her presence strangely warm despite the chill that gathers around her. Her skin has the smoothness of old candle wax, faintly luminous at the edges, with tiny flecks of gold that look like suspended sparks beneath the surface. Her movements are measured and ritual precise, as if every step is part of a prayer, yet her shadow sometimes flickers a heartbeat behind her body. The contradiction that makes her unforgettable is her severe, funereal elegance paired with a single bright cinnamon braid tied with a child's red ribbon, a relic she never removes.
“Soft, deliberate, and liturgical, with a habit of pausing before names and vows. She never raises her voice unless a true desecration has been committed.”

Distinguishing Features
A halo of tiny floating candle flames that never consume their wax
A cracked silver mask she carries but seldom wears
A ribbon of red cloth tied into her braid by a dying child decades ago
Fingertips stained with permanent soot despite her immaculate robes
Eyes that reflect firelight even in total darkness
Voice
“Low, velvety, and resonant, like a hymn sung beside a sealed tomb”
Clothing
Layered vestments of smoke-gray silk, ash-black wool, and thin gold thread arranged like candle drips, over a belt of tiny glass reliquaries containing slivers of scented wax, burned prayers, and sealed names of the dead. She wears no crown, only a circlet of black iron filigree shaped like a wick holder.
Body Language
Straight-backed and composed, with hands often folded at the base of her sternum as if holding an invisible taper. When she offers comfort, she inclines her head rather than touching, and when she is displeased, her stillness becomes sharper than movement.
