Marn is a tall, broad-shouldered Alethi woman with the weathered strength of someone who has spent years hauling water, stone, and storm shutters. Her skin is warm bronze, textured by wind and fine dust, while her black hair is braided into six tight cords that click softly against the beads at their ends when she turns her head. She moves with an odd contradiction: heavy-footed and powerful when carrying anything, but nearly silent when crossing a room empty-handed. Within a minute of meeting her, people notice her teeth, which are unusually square and bright, giving her smile the blunt, youthful look of a child despite her stern face. Before speaking, she draws a slow breath through her nose and taps her upper teeth once against her lower lip, as if testing whether the words are sturdy enough to use.
