Appearance
Sella Underbough is a small, quick-moving halfling woman with the look of someone who has spent years standing too close to trouble and learning how to lean away from it at the last instant. Her skin is warm olive with a faint dusting of pale freckles across her nose and knuckles, like someone once splashed her with river foam and never quite washed it off. Her dark hair is cut unevenly at jaw length, usually shoved behind one ear with a bone comb, but one stubborn silver lock always escapes and hangs over her cheek like a warning sign. She wears a soot-gray coat lined with hidden pockets and mended cuffs, but beneath it she keeps a bright tournament sash from a champion she once accused of cheating. The sash is carefully pressed and clean, a contradictory splash of pride against her otherwise frayed, nervous look. She moves with a sidewinding, crab-quick gait that makes her seem half-ready to flee and half-ready to pounce, and her expression often settles into a polite smile that never quite reaches her watchful, tired eyes.
“Soft-spoken but exact, with a dockside cadence and the habit of ending dangerous statements on a whisper..”

Distinguishing Features
A silver lock of hair that has gone white from stress, not age.
Ink stains permanently embedded in the creases of her right hand.
A thin scar on her throat where a garrote once missed killing her by inches.
A tournament sash worn secretly under her coat like a relic and accusation.
A tiny brass whistle always tied to her belt with black thread.
Voice
“Quiet, quick, and slightly dry, with a tremor that appears only when she speaks about the dead.”
Clothing
A patched slate coat with hidden pockets, a dark waistcoat stained by ink and rain, fitted travel trousers, soft-soled boots with stitched soles, and a bright tournament sash hidden under one lapel like a secret badge.
Body Language
She keeps her shoulders slightly turned, never fully presenting her back or chest, and her fingers are always busy with a ring, a thread, or a hidden note. When nervous, she speaks with her chin lowered and her eyes lifted, as if she expects a blow but refuses to look intimidated.
