Elyra moves like an actor used to filling rooms: fluid, economical gestures that read even in dim light. Her face is a map of small celebrations and old arguments — laugh lines that deepen into crescent moons, a faint pale scar that never quite healed along her left cheekbone, and a smudge of ink near her right ear where she absentmindedly tucked quills for years. She favors layered scarves and skirts that whisper when she walks; her hands are callused but surprisingly nimble. Unexpectedly, she wears a child's brass bell on a ribbon around her wrist, its tone cheerful and unrefined, which she rings once to hush the tavern before speaking. The overall impression: warm stage-mother, clever operator, someone who can remember your favorite drink and also the rumor you tried to bury.
