Sister Maelune Nayra
Bard
Sister Maelune Nayra
Species
Yotunn (Half-Giant)
Appearance
Sister Maelune Nayra is a towering Yotunn woman with the slow, deliberate grace of someone who has spent years walking stone galleries lined with heat and incense. Her presence is startling at first, broad as a doorframe and nearly as imposing, yet she moves with a careful, almost reverent economy, as if she is perpetually aware of every footstep reverberating through holy masonry. Her robes are layered in smoke-blue wool and ash-white linen, their hems embroidered with tiny stitched flames that shimmer when she sings. The most striking contradiction is her hands, huge and workscarred from copying hymn tablets and handling cathedral mechanisms, adorned with delicate silver prayer rings that jingle like wind chimes when she gestures. Her expression is severe until she begins to explain doctrine, when her eyes soften with the joy of someone speaking about a beloved and difficult truth. She often smells faintly of hot stone, oil lamp smoke, and orange peel tea.
“Measured, resonant, and hymnlike, with careful diction and occasional slips into dry engineer's jargon when exasperated. She speaks as though every sentence should be able to survive being carved into stone.”

Distinguishing Features
A burn-scar shaped like a curling hymn line across her left wrist
A silver throat collar engraved with tiny ventilation sigils, both devotional and practical
Eyes that seem gold in firelight and pale gray in moonlight
One elongated tusk capped with a brass sleeve after a childhood accident
A faint halo of warm air that shimmers around her when she is deeply focused on song
Voice
“A warm contralto with a deep bell-like timbre, capable of becoming unexpectedly sharp when she is issuing a warning or correcting a prayer.”
Clothing
Layered cathedral vestments of smoke-blue wool, ash-white linen, and brass clasp work, with a heatproof underrobe and a sash marked by tiny stitched flame sigils; she keeps a practical belt pouch of chalk, wax seals, and hymn slips hidden beneath the ceremonial layers
Body Language
She stands square-shouldered and still, but her hands are always in motion, counting beats, tracing invisible staves, or smoothing imaginary wrinkles from parchment. When alarmed, she tilts her head slightly as though listening to a distant choir beneath the floor.
