Species
Dragonborn
Appearance
Säshra is a youthful dragonborn woman whose burnished bronze scales catch the light like old coins rubbed bright by many hands. Her scales are smallest and smoothest around the jaw and wrists, but overlap in visible, finely ridged bands along her neck and shoulders. She moves with the careful economy of someone raised among expensive furniture, never brushing a sleeve against a wall or letting her tail knock over a cup. Her most immediate peculiarity is that she wears the severe posture of a court portrait while constantly worrying a loose bronze bead at the end of her braid. Her expression is often composed, yet her nostrils flare visibly whenever she is trying not to laugh. She leaves an impression of contained heat, polished manners, and a storm waiting behind the teeth.
“Measured and low, with careful consonants and a faint breathy hiss on s sounds. In court she speaks in complete, polished sentences.”

Distinguishing Features
A loose bronze bead at the end of her braid that she touches whenever she is about to lie.
Fine pale mineral dust permanently embedded in the scales of her palms from years spent inspecting salt and grain stores.
A tail tip that curls upward when she is amused, despite her otherwise rigid court posture.
Her lower canines are slightly longer than average, giving her smile a dangerous edge that contrasts with her gentle manners.
Voice
“A soft contralto with a dry warmth, slightly breathy at the edges. Her public voice is resonant and ceremonial, while her private voice drops nearly to a whisper when discussing people in danger.”
Clothing
A high-collared robe of deep frost-blue wool and silk, deliberately contrasting with her bronze scales. The robe has silver thread at the cuffs, a practical split for her tail, and a hidden inner pocket sewn with red emergency cord. Beneath it she wears a quilted gambeson and fitted riding trousers. Her signet ring is worn on a cord around her neck rather than on her hand.
Body Language
Her chin is usually lifted in trained confidence, but her tail betrays her mood by making small, deliberate taps against the floor. She touches the bronze bead in her braid whenever she must lie, and she checks the clasp of her cloak before entering any room, even when it is already secure.
