Sylara moves like someone used to narrow stacks and crowded markets. She has the deliberate, patient gait of a cataloger, but when surprised she becomes all quick hands and darting eyes. Her left forearm bears a ringwork of pale sigils that shimmer faintly when she speaks arcane words. She keeps one sleeve rolled to display those marks, as if to invite curiosity and to remind herself of a debt. Unexpectedly her boots are patched running-leather, scuffed and stitched with bright orange thread. That small color choice jars against otherwise muted robes and makes her look both scholarly and stubbornly practical.
