Vaelith Ruuneth
Paladin, Oath of the Ancients
Vaelith Ruuneth
Species
Wood Elf
Appearance
Vaelith is tall and slender, with the poised balance of a dancer and the deceptively hard hands of a woodsworker. Her skin is pale bronze with a faint green undertone, like sunlight filtered through deep leaves. Her silver-black hair falls in heavy ropes threaded with tiny copper bells, though she removes every bell before battle. A white scar crosses her lower lip, and one pointed ear is notched from an old hunting snare. She moves almost soundlessly, yet her armor gives off the soft scent of rain on stone. The unexpected contradiction is her smile: broad, warm, and almost mischievous, utterly at odds with the solemn funerary symbols carved into her shield.
“Her speech is calm, precise, and rich with images of roots, weather, fire, and old roads. She rarely uses contractions when angry.”

Distinguishing Features
A white scar splits her lower lip and makes her smile appear crooked
One ear is notched from a childhood snare
Her shield is warm to the touch even in freezing weather
Her armor smells faintly of wet stone and crushed herbs
She wears a single copper bell around her wrist but never allows it to ring
Voice
“A low, clear contralto with a faint musical cadence. Her laughter is sudden and bright, while her battle commands are clipped enough to sound like struck metal.”
Clothing
A weather-darkened suit of half-plate over a moss-green gambeson, decorated with thin silver lines resembling roots. A cream-colored cloak hangs from one shoulder, patched with scraps of fabric from villages she has defended. Her shield bears a painted candle surrounded by thorny branches.
Body Language
Vaelith stands with her shield angled slightly toward whoever seems most vulnerable. When relaxed, she rocks subtly from heel to toe as if listening for distant music. When lying, she becomes perfectly still and folds her hands over the pommel of her sword.
