Wizard (Arcane Vanguard)

Species
Dragonborn
Appearance
Vesk wears her youth like a badly fitted uniform. Her black scales are matte and uneven, with narrow silver scars crossing her left cheek and throat where an old acid-burn ritual went wrong. A ridge of blunt horns runs from her brow to the back of her skull, each horn filed flat at the tip for practical reasons she refuses to explain. She moves with a forward-leaning, almost birdlike precision, placing each foot as if the ground might give way. When relaxed, however, she slouches dramatically and sprawls across furniture like a tired dockworker. Her face is severe at first glance, but the corners of her mouth twitch whenever someone lies badly. She smells faintly of rainwater, lamp oil, and scorched metal.
“Clipped and exact, with sudden lyrical turns when she discusses maps, weather, or magic. She pauses before names, as if checking where each person belongs on an internal chart.”

Silver acid scars shaped like branching river deltas across her left cheek and throat
One horn is wrapped in red thread and never touched by anyone else
Her lower left canine is made of dark iron
Her shadow sometimes appears to take one extra step after she stops moving
She has a habit of smelling old paper before reading it
Voice
“A low, dry contralto with a faint rasp, like a match being dragged across stone. When excited, she speaks faster but never louder.”
Clothing
A weather-darkened blue-gray coat reinforced with stitched leather panels, loose charcoal trousers, salt-stained boots, and a copper-thread sash holding spell components. Her left sleeve is deliberately oversized to conceal a bundle of folded maps. She wears no visible insignia except a small brass button taken from her former mentor's coat.
Body Language
Her shoulders angle toward the nearest escape route, and her clawed fingers trace invisible tactical lines over tabletops. When embarrassed, she suddenly becomes very still. When angry, she smiles with only one side of her mouth.
