Mara is a woman of severe geometry, with a posture so straight it looks painful. She moves with a mechanical efficiency, her footsteps landing with the rhythmic precision of a marching drum. Her face is a map of cold determination, framed by hair pulled back so tightly it seems to sharpen her features. While her armor is always caked in the gray dust of the Crodaan mines, her hands are impeccably clean, though permanently stained with blue ink from her constant logging. Despite her martial prowess, she carries a small, delicate silver music box that she winds every night at exactly 22:00, a jarringly fragile habit for such a hardened soldier.
