Appearance
Sada is a light-skinned young woman with an athletic, finely muscled frame and the poised balance of someone who learned to run before she learned to rest. Her face is unexpectedly cute, with a small rounded chin, soft cheeks, and enormous caring eyes that make her fierce stare feel almost tender. Her honey-brown hair is cut to her jaw and tied back with three narrow red cords, though loose strands constantly escape and brush her lips. She favors her left side when standing, keeping her right foot slightly forward as if the ground might suddenly tilt. Her movements are quick, economical, and almost dance-like, but when someone speaks about a frightened child she becomes unnervingly still. The contradiction is striking: her hands are callused and her shoulders are built for violence, yet she smells faintly of orange peel and keeps a tiny blue ribbon tucked behind one ear.
“Her speech is quick, warm, and sharply articulated, with a faint river-market cadence. She clips the ends from sentences when angry and draws them out when teasing.”

Distinguishing Features
Three red cords bind her hair, each one representing a person she has successfully brought home.
Her enormous dark hazel eyes remain soft even when her expression is openly threatening.
Her left thumb bears a small white crescent of scar tissue from years of salt harvesting, not from combat.
She carries herself with a slight leftward lean that makes her seem perpetually ready to spring.
A tiny blue ribbon is tucked behind her right ear, visibly cherished despite the otherwise practical presentation.
Voice
“A clear contralto with a smile hidden in it, quick as a thrown pebble and unexpectedly soft when she speaks to children or animals.”
Clothing
A fine cream linen wrap top leaves both arms bare and crosses securely over her ribs. She wears loose saffron trousers gathered at the ankles, a narrow teal sash, soft red-soled shoes, and a translucent rose-colored overshirt that moves like water when she turns. Her clothing is elegant but deliberately easy to run, climb, or fight in.
Body Language
Sada keeps her weight on the balls of her feet, often leaning slightly left. She touches two fingers to her sternum when making a promise, rolls one shoulder before a fight, and watches hands more closely than faces. When she feels guilty, she becomes perfectly motionless except for the red cords in her hair swaying with her breathing.
