Appearance
Brekza looks like someone who has spent more time leaning over bubbling cauldrons than standing in front of mirrors. She has pale skin dusted with tiny freckles across her nose and shoulders, bright blue eyes that seem permanently amused, and thick blond hair usually twisted into a loose knot with several escaped strands stuck to her cheeks by steam and potion syrup. Her movements are quick, casual, and slightly untidy, with an almost dancer-like habit of shifting her weight from foot to foot while she talks. She smells faintly of crushed mint, hot copper, and burnt sugar, a scent she insists is charming despite knowing it follows her everywhere. The unexpected contradiction is her immaculate hands: even when the rest of her looks disheveled, her fingernails are carefully trimmed and spotless.
“Fast, friendly, and lightly teasing. Brekza peppers ordinary conversation with cheeky innuendo about bottles, stirring, mixing, and things that should be handled carefully, but she becomes clear and serious when discussing safety.”

Distinguishing Features
Her left thumb is permanently stained green from a reagent that will not wash away.
A tiny brass bell is sewn into the hem of her apron and gives a soft chime whenever she moves quickly.
She wears her mother's field journal in a weatherproof satchel, its lower-right corner worn smooth from constant handling.
Within a minute of meeting her, most people notice the distinctive mint, copper, and burnt-sugar smell clinging to her clothes.
Voice
“Bright and conversational, with a slight Welsh and Gaelic lilt beneath her quick delivery. Her laugh is sudden and breathy, while her serious voice becomes remarkably steady and low.”
Clothing
A moss-green work dress beneath a stained brown apron, reinforced ankle boots, rolled sleeves, and a narrow leather belt holding measuring spoons, chalk, twine, and a ring of tiny keys. She wears practical underlayers and keeps a clean spare apron folded beneath the counter.
Body Language
Brekza leans over the counter as though sharing a secret, drums her fingers beside the till, and tilts her head whenever she suspects someone is lying. When embarrassed, she tucks loose hair behind both ears and suddenly becomes fascinated by bottle labels.
