Appearance
Kethra appears as a tall, ascetic woman with skin like pale candle wax warmed by a hidden flame. Her body seems carved from smoke and ritual ash, but her movements are precise and human, almost ceremonial. She wears layered robes of black linen threaded with tiny gold veins that glow faintly when she speaks a vow. One sleeve is immaculate and white, the other charred at the cuff as if she has spent years holding her hand too close to a sacred flame. Her head is crowned with a halo of drifting wax sparks rather than fire, and when she walks, her shadow arrives a heartbeat late, like it must think before following. The overall impression is solemn comfort, as if a funeral bell had learned how to be kind.
“Low, careful, and resonant, as if every sentence is a candle being set in place. She rarely wastes words, but when she names someone, it sounds like a blessing and a warning at once.”

The scent of tallow and rain follows her everywhere

“Calm, low, and bell-clear, with a faint ember crackle on emphatic words”
Clothing
Layered funeral robes of ash-black linen, a collar of tarnished silver candleholders, soft leather boots, and a veil of translucent smoke-thread that drifts around her shoulders like mourning incense

Still and upright, with small deliberate gestures. She inclines her head instead of bowing, and when she is moved, her fingers curl like someone shielding a flame from wind.
