Species
Half-Elf
Appearance
Nadezhda moves like someone listening for footsteps beneath the floorboards. Her gestures are economical when sober and extravagantly precise when performing, with each wrist turn seeming to pull an invisible thread through the room. Her face is narrow and expressive, marked by a small crescent scar beneath her left eye and a faint scattering of gold freckles across her nose. She looks delicate until she lifts a traveling case that most people require two hands to carry. The unexpected contradiction is in her smile, which is warm and almost maternal even when she is lying with perfect confidence.
“Her voice is low, musical, and quick to soften around frightened people. She speaks with careful diction when negotiating and lets her river-port accent return when angry.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent scar beneath her left eye.
Gold freckles across the bridge of her nose.
A missing fingernail on her right index finger, permanently darkened by old ink.
A brass ring worn on a cord around her neck, engraved with three parallel lines.
Her left eyebrow lifts a moment before she delivers a deliberate falsehood.
Voice
“A smoky mezzo-soprano with a bright edge that appears whenever she is amused. Her singing voice can become intimate enough to feel like a secret spoken directly into the listener's ear.”
Clothing
A wine-red wool coat with mismatched brass buttons, a cream blouse stitched with tiny blue river lines, fitted charcoal trousers, and soft leather boots. Her cuffs conceal narrow strips of written music used as coded notes.
Body Language
She angles her body toward doors and windows, taps two fingers against her thumb while thinking, and leans closer when someone speaks about grief. During a lie, she becomes unnaturally still.
