Elyra is a striking elf whose presence seems to sharpen every room around her. Her silver-grey eyes remain fixed and dry even in blowing canyon grit, while her obsidian hair is drawn into a severe braided crown secured with small copper pins. Decades of desert travel have warmed her skin to a deep bronze-gold, though the backs of her hands remain unusually pale from years spent beneath ledger gloves. She moves with economical precision, never hurrying, yet somehow arriving at the center of every dispute before anyone notices her crossing the room. The unexpected contradiction is her hands, which are callused and nicked like a caravan outrider's, despite the immaculate polish of her rings and cuffs. Within a minute of meeting her, people notice the faint scent of bitter orange peel, lamp oil, and old paper that follows her wherever she goes.
