Marra Veyra
Species
Half-elf
Appearance
Marra is a broad-shouldered half-elf with weathered copper-brown skin, a crooked nose, and hands permanently roughened by salt, rope, and lye soap. Her silver-black hair is braided with tiny brass fishhooks, while one side of her face is smooth and elegant and the other is ridged by old burn scars. She moves with a sailor's rolling balance even on dry floors, yet pours drinks with the delicate precision of a jeweler. Her smile is warm enough to make strangers feel adopted, but her stillness can make a room feel suddenly airless. The unexpected contradiction is her immaculate, pearl-white fingernails, maintained every night despite the grime and violence of tavern life.
“Her voice is low, musical, and rasped by years of salt air. She speaks with a rolling coastal cadence, stretching the final word of a sentence when teasing and clipping every syllable when issuing a threat.”

Distinguishing Features
A pale burn scar crosses her left cheek and disappears beneath her collar.
Her left thumb is missing the top joint, cut away during the Blue Mercy mutiny.
A brass fishhook is woven into her hair above her right ear.
She has a tattoo of a compass rose over her heart, with one direction deliberately scratched out.
Her immaculate white fingernails contrast sharply with her scarred, work-worn hands.
Voice
“A smoky contralto with a laugh like a bottle rolling across a deck”
Clothing
A dark teal waistcoat over a cream linen shirt, copper buttons, salt-stiffened trousers, polished sea boots, and a red sash containing lockpicks, chalk, and a hidden garrote wire. Her coat is lined with scraps of old nautical charts.
Body Language
Marra leans toward ordinary sailors as though sharing a treasured confidence, then leans away from criminals as though measuring the distance to a weapon. She polishes a glass whenever she is lying, taps two fingers against her thumb when calculating, and plants both feet wide whenever someone threatens a local resident.
