Sabiha bint-Hamza
Covert Captain
Sabiha bint-Hamza
Species
Human
Appearance
Sabiha has the stillness of a locked door and the alertness of a hunting cat. Her movements are economical, almost austere, with each turn of the head seeming to measure distances, exits, and the number of children in the room. Her hands are roughened by rope, cold iron, and years of repairing field equipment, yet she handles frightened infants with extraordinary gentleness. A thin scar crosses her lower lip, giving her resting expression the look of a permanent rebuke. The unexpected contradiction is her laughter, which is bright, sudden, and almost girlish when it escapes her, usually while helping someone mend a cooking pot.
“Low, precise, and unhurried. Sabiha speaks as though every word has been counted and packed for a difficult journey.”

Distinguishing Features
A pale scar through the lower lip.
A green thread braided around the left index finger.
A missing tip of the right ear, concealed poorly by her hair.
A habit of smelling unfamiliar coins before accepting them.
Voice
“A controlled contralto, dry as folded paper in formal settings, becoming warm and almost musical when she speaks to children or frightened elders.”
Clothing
She wears a charcoal traveling coat over layered sand-colored linen, reinforced at the ribs with hidden leather plates. A faded green sash is wrapped three times around her waist, its loose end stitched with coded knots. Her boots are soft-soled for silent movement, and one sleeve has been patched with fabric from a child's blanket.
Body Language
Sabiha stands with her weight balanced over the balls of her feet, one hand usually near her saber and the other occupied with a practical task. She rarely points. Instead, she tilts her chin or shifts her gaze, and those who know her understand the instruction. Around frightened families, her shoulders lower and her hands remain open and visible.
