Siham Sullu
Species
Holstaur
Appearance
Siham is a tall, broad-shouldered Holstaur woman whose black-and-cream hide has the soft, slightly pebbled texture of old saddle leather. Her horns curve outward and then subtly forward, polished at the tips from years of leaning her weight against stone troughs. She waits with one hoof planted firmly and the other angled behind her, as if bracing against an invisible slope. Her lower jaw is heavy and square, and when she laughs her broad, flat molars show before her lips do, giving her smile an unexpectedly ferocious appearance. Her movements are slow until someone is hurt, at which point she becomes startlingly quick and precise. She smells faintly of warm hay, cardamom, rainwater, and clean iron. The contradictory impression she leaves is of immense physical power paired with the careful, almost delicate hands of a jeweler.
“Her voice is low, breathy, and resonant, with careful sibilants and a soft valley cadence. She speaks slowly when offering comfort and with clipped precision when issuing orders.”

Distinguishing Features
Her horns are polished only on the outer curves, leaving their inner ridges naturally matte.
Her lower jaw is unusually broad, and her flat molars show prominently whenever she laughs or bites into fruit.
She wears three tiny copper bells braided into the hair at the base of her right horn, but they never ring when she walks.
The palms of her hands are darkened by years of handling charcoal, herbs, and iron cooking pots.
She always stands with one hoof slightly behind the other, as though preparing to bear the weight of someone leaning against her.
Voice
“A low contralto with a husky, breath-softened edge, warm when addressing children and almost unnervingly gentle when threatening someone. Her laughter begins as a deep chest rumble and ends in a sharp snort.”
Clothing
A sleeveless indigo wool overdress falls over a cream linen under-tunic, both reinforced at the seams with red and saffron thread. A striped Andean-style sash holds medicine pouches and a ring of small copper bells. She wears soft leather hoof wraps, a weatherproof shawl clasped with a bone pin, and a battered brass breastplate beneath her clothing when danger is expected.
Body Language
When calm, Siham leans her hip against walls and keeps both hands occupied with folding cloth, polishing metal, or sorting herbs. When suspicious, she lowers her chin and angles one horn toward the speaker. When comforting someone, she kneels despite the difficulty of lowering her large frame, bringing her eyes level with theirs.
