Auvri Kest
Sorcerer
Auvri Kest
Species
Halfling
Appearance
Auvri is a very small, stooped halfling with a spine curved like a question mark, yet they move with sudden, startling precision when danger appears. Their skin is weathered copper-brown, creased deeply around a mouth that rarely smiles without calculation. Their hands are knotted and trembling at rest, but become unnervingly steady when shaping magic. Their ragged silhouette suggests frailty, while the impression they leave is of a trapped animal that has already chosen where to bite. The contradictory detail is their immaculate fingernails, carefully polished with ash despite their filthy surroundings.
“Soft, dry, and carefully paced. Auvri speaks as though every sentence is being weighed for ration value, then occasionally snaps into a startlingly sharp command.”

Distinguishing Features
A pale blue burn scar circles their left wrist like a bracelet.
Their left ear is missing its upper tip and has been stitched with copper wire.
They carry a spoon engraved with a child's name, Nemi.
Their shadow sometimes moves a heartbeat later than they do.
Their teeth are stained turquoise from chewing a mineral used in old-world batteries.
Voice
“A dry, papery contralto with a faint musical lift on unexpected words, colored by old Halfling cadence and clipped northern vowels.”
Clothing
Layered rags made from faded flour sacks, curtain scraps, and strips of old ceremonial cloth. A belt of knotted cord holds pouches, tin fragments, and a cracked ladle. Their cloak is patched with mismatched buttons that softly click when they walk.
Body Language
Auvri keeps their elbows tucked close and their chin lowered, as if protecting an invisible bundle. When interested, they tilt their head sharply to one side. When angry, they stop moving entirely except for one thumb rubbing the edge of a cracked spoon.
