Mireille Daran
Species
Dwarf
Appearance
Mireille is a young, broad-shouldered dwarf with copper-brown skin polished by wind, dust, and long road miles. Her black curls are shaved close at the temples and gathered into a thick, lopsided knot tied with blue caravan thread. Her lower incisors are unusually square and prominent, giving her laugh a bright, almost childlike flash, while her jaw tightens visibly whenever she lies. She moves with a guard’s economical balance, feet planted wide and knees loose, yet she has an unexpectedly delicate habit of stepping around wildflowers as though they were sleeping animals. Her presence smells of saddle soap, toasted oats, and the bitter mint she chews before a fight.
“Her voice is low, warm, and slightly gravelly, with a rising musical rhythm at the end of jokes. Before speaking seriously, she draws a soft breath through her teeth and clears her throat once.”

Distinguishing Features
A laugh that begins as a bubbling throat sound before any words emerge.
Square lower incisors that flash whenever she grins, eats, or tries to bluff.
Three tiny brass bells sewn to her kettle helm, each tuned to a different note.
She avoids stepping on flowers, mushrooms, and loose feathers, even during a hurried march.
Her left thumb is permanently stained blue from caravan tally ink.
Voice
“A smoky contralto with a bright, bubbling laugh that often precedes her words. When she is frightened, the laugh becomes louder and more polished, as though she is trying to build a wall out of sound.”
Clothing
A russet wool coat reinforced with overlapping leather panels, a faded green scarf, iron-studded traveling boots, fingerless gloves, and a battered kettle helm decorated with three tiny brass bells. Her belt carries a red cord for tying injured travelers to a cart during an evacuation.
Body Language
Mireille leans forward when listening and rocks subtly from heel to toe when forced to wait. Her hands are usually busy, tightening a strap, peeling an apple, or tapping the flat of her sword against her boot. Before combat, she rolls her jaw until the square lower teeth show, then exhales through her nose in three measured breaths.
