Nithaan is a striking sea elf woman with the poised, almost fragile elegance of a heron standing in surf. Her skin is a deep pearl blue, but along her shoulders and forearms it carries faint silver scars like lightning trapped beneath glass. Her hair is a sheet of black-green kelp silk, usually worn braided with little shells, coins, and bits of polished driftwood that click softly when she moves. One eye is bright turquoise, the other is pale gold, an unexpected contrast that makes her seem both amused and haunted at once. She walks with a dancer's certainty and a sailor's balance, but her hands are constantly busy, as if keeping time to music only she can hear. She wears courtly bardic layers over weatherproof sea leathers, elegant enough for a palace and practical enough for a shipwreck, which makes her look at once regal and ready to climb a mast.
