Appearance
Jespera looks as though the forest has taught her to move without disturbing its thoughts. She is long-limbed and lightly built, with a quiet spring in her knees and a habit of turning her whole body before turning her head. Her hands are callused along the first two fingers from years of bowstring work, but her nails are kept meticulously clean. She leaves an impression of cool attention rather than beauty or menace. The unexpected contradiction is her immaculate, almost fussy grooming: even after crawling through mud, she will pause to smooth one stray lock of hair and wipe a leaf fragment from her sleeve before speaking.
“Her speech is quiet and exact, with an unexpected upward stress on the second or third word of a sentence. She pauses before names, as though checking whether they belong to the person wearing them.”

Distinguishing Features
A small copper bead is braided into the hair above her right ear, and she touches it whenever she lies.
Her first breath before speaking is audible, a soft inward click through her teeth.
She has a faint line of pale freckles across the backs of both hands, resembling scattered seeds.
Her movements are nearly silent until she deliberately makes noise to draw attention elsewhere.
Voice
“A low, clear contralto with a dry warmth. Before speaking, she makes a small inward click with her teeth, and when amused she tries to hide the smile in her voice rather than on her face.”
Clothing
A moss-green travel coat cut short at the knees, layered over a brown linen shirt and close-fitting charcoal trousers. Her boots are wrapped with removable felt soles, and tiny brass bells have been sewn inside her coat hem, where they cannot ring but can be felt if the garment shifts.
Body Language
Jespera stands with her weight slightly forward, as if listening for a distant footstep. She keeps one thumb hooked beneath her bowstring when uncertain, checks the knots at her wrists without noticing, and looks at exits whenever someone laughs too loudly.
