Vesperia Sterling
Species
Human
Appearance
Vesperia is a tall, broad-shouldered woman with the weathered presence of a fortress gate. Her polished armor is scarred beneath its careful maintenance, each gouge filled with dark resin and thin silver rune-work. She moves with measured economy, never wasting a step, yet her left hand often trembles when she thinks no one is watching. A crimson cloak hangs from one shoulder, stiff with old salt, coal dust, and mountain rain. Her face is severe at first glance, but a crooked smile appears whenever a tired soldier makes an irreverent joke. She leaves behind the impression of cold iron warmed by a nearby forge.
“Precise and low, with a clipped cadence shaped by military habits. She pronounces names carefully, pauses before difficult orders, and lets silence carry the weight of a threat.”

Distinguishing Features
A pale scar crosses her throat from an old ice-pick wound.
The little finger of her left hand is missing its upper joint.
Her poleaxe bears nine shallow notches, one for each major pass disaster she survived.
A black iron bell-clapper hangs from her belt as a memorial to the watchhouse where Oshin died.
Despite her intimidating armor and military bearing, she carries a small knitted blue mitten made by a child in Kharbal-Thum.
Voice
“A low contralto with a dry rasp, like boots grinding over frozen gravel. When she is angry, her voice becomes quieter rather than louder.”
Clothing
Rune-etched half plate over a charcoal wool gambeson, reinforced mountain boots, black leather gloves, a weather-beaten crimson cloak, and a narrow silver gorget bearing the Stoneway Garrison seal.
Body Language
Vesperia stands with her feet planted as if expecting the floor to shift. She keeps her shoulders square during arguments, but presses her thumb against the first knuckle of her left hand when concealing doubt. Around exhausted soldiers, she lowers herself to their eye level rather than looming over them.
