Saelira Vex moves like a held breath finally released, silent and precise until she chooses to be noticed. Her skin is a deep ember-red with faint soot-dark marbling across her shoulders and forearms, as if she were sculpted from cooled lava and then dusted with ash. Two short, swept-back horns rise from her brow, polished to a glossy black by years of nervous fidgeting, while her tail ends in a narrow, ink-dark tuft that flicks impatiently when she lies. She dresses in practical charcoal leathers tailored to move without a whisper, but every seam is lined with bright copper thread that catches candlelight in a way that feels far too elegant for a cutpurse. The unexpected detail is that she wears a delicate lace collar under her armor, a relic from a noble house she claims to despise. When she smiles, one corner of her mouth lifts first, as if she is always testing whether the world is worth the joke.
