Appearance
Mara is a compact, weathered woman with a watchful stillness that makes crowded streets seem to part around her. Her movements are economical, almost martial, but one knee gives a faint wooden click whenever she turns sharply. Her hands are broad and scarred from years of hauling stone, sorting coin, and repairing market stalls. A pale streak cuts through her dark hair like a slash of moonlight. She looks stern at first glance, yet she wears a tiny blue glass bead sewn beneath her left eye, an unexpectedly delicate touch that catches the sun when she smiles.
“Low, clear, and clipped, with a warm market cadence beneath the authority. She speaks faster when explaining logistics and slower when discussing the dead.”

A pale streak through otherwise dark hair
A blue glass bead sewn beneath her left eye
A wooden click from her injured knee when she pivots
A burn scar shaped like a narrow crescent on her right palm
A missing clapper from the brass bell she carries
Voice
“A low, weathered contralto that carries across a market without sounding loud”
Clothing
A layered market coat of faded russet wool, patched at the elbows with blue sailcloth, over a charcoal linen shirt. She wears a broad leather belt carrying keys, chalk, folded ledgers, and a little brass handbell with its clapper removed. Her boots are dusted white from the quarry roads.
Body Language
Mara stands with her weight slightly favoring her left leg and keeps her staff angled like a surveyor's rod. When angry, she becomes unnaturally still. When lying, she rubs the blue glass bead beneath her eye. When someone earns her trust, she turns her whole body toward them, an intimacy she gives rarely.
