Vessa Lorne moves with the quiet precision of someone who has spent years learning that panic wastes lives. She is a striking human woman with tan skin warmed by long hours near candlelight and sickrooms, a slim waist, full curves, and the graceful posture of a healer who never quite stops measuring pulse and breath in the people around her. Her long black hair is braided with silver thread, the braid usually worn over one shoulder like a dark river stitched with moonlight. Deep brown eyes watch everything with calm intensity, softened by a look that can turn unexpectedly fierce when someone is threatened. Her healer's robes are soft white layered with pale blue, embroidered with protective runes that catch the light like frost on glass. Her hands are cool, steady, and marked by faint glowing scars from old healing rites. The contradiction that people remember most is her serenity paired with a startling physical strength in the shoulders and forearms, as if she has spent a lifetime carrying wounded adults down staircases and never bothered to admit it.
