Appearance
Sister Maelin Voss is a narrow, weather-worn human woman with the posture of someone who has spent decades listening for footsteps behind her. Her skin is creased like dried river clay, and her hands are permanently stained gray around the nails from temple ash and medicinal charcoal. She moves with careful economy, never turning her back on a doorway. Her face is severe at first glance, but her smile is unexpectedly gentle and almost girlish when she speaks to children. A thin silver scar circles her throat, resembling the mark left by a necklace, though she has never worn one.
“Her voice is low, dry, and measured, with the rasp of someone who has spent years whispering in sickrooms. She speaks gently to the frightened and sharply to the reckless.”

Clothing
A faded charcoal robe beneath a patched brown traveling coat, both marked with old white ash. She wears a blue-gray scarf wrapped tightly around her throat, sturdy boots, a leather satchel of remedies, and a belt carrying a hooded lantern and iron key.
Body Language
Maelin keeps her shoulders squared and her chin slightly raised, as though defying an unseen judge. Her fingers constantly count invisible beats against her palm. When frightened, she becomes unnaturally still rather than retreating. When someone speaks of the dead, she touches the scar around her throat.
