Appearance

Orren is all angles and discipline, with a posture so straight it feels trained into her bones. Her pale skin has the faint waxy sheen of someone who spends too much time by candlelight, and her right wrist bears a silver prayer-scar in the shape of a broken chain. She wears a severe black coat lined with dark maroon silk, immaculate boots polished to a mirror shine, and a preacher's sash of iron-threaded crimson that never seems to wrinkle. The strangest thing about her is the tenderness of her hands: long-fingered, ink-stained, and careful, like a scribe's or a pianist's, in stark contrast to the ruthless crest pinned over her heart. When she moves, it is with clipped, economical precision, except when music takes hold and she sways with an almost devotional grace that makes her seem briefly possessed.

Height5 ft. 7 in.
BuildLean and rigidly composed, with a narrow frame that suggests endurance more than strength
EyesGray-green, sharp and unblinking
HairBlack, worn in a severe braid threaded with a single crimson ribbon
SkinLight olive with a faint ash-gray undertone

Low, clipped, and articulate, with the cadence of a sermon delivered to soldiers who are already afraid. She rarely raises her voice, but when she does, it rings like a temple bell.”

Distinguishing Features

A silver prayer-scar shaped like broken chains on her right wrist

A blackened throat locket that contains a sliver of chapel charcoal

A choir sigil branded faintly behind her left ear

A faint scent of incense, cold iron, and rainwater

Voice

Controlled, velvet-dark, and faintly musical, with the habit of ending sentences like formal decrees

Clothing

A tailored black coat over a crimson clerical vestment, iron-threaded gloves, polished boots, a bone-white collar pin, and a black travel cloak clasped with a severed chain motif

Body Language

Still and upright when observing, with sudden, precise gestures when emphasizing a point. She keeps her chin slightly raised, folds her hands behind her back when displeased, and touches her throat ring before delivering a difficult truth.
