Short, dense silhouette with shoulders like hewn stone. She moves with a careful, measured tread more accustomed to counter and workbench than battlefield. Her beard is braided into three thin cords that end in tiny copper beads polished to a soft glow. The left ear has a row of small, mismatched studs collected from trades and travels. Her hands are callused and ink-stained with ledger markings. Unexpectedly, tucked beneath her apron where a coin pouch should be, is a small silk handkerchief embroidered with an image of a wildflower ribboned in silver thread. She gestures with a carved bone ruler as much as with her hands, tapping surfaces when thinking.
