Jaden Morwar is an hourglass-shaped human woman who wears black armor trimmed in blood red, the plates stacked in smooth overlapping curves like a stern knight rebuilt by a clockmaker. Her face is the only skin left uncovered, framed by a sealed gorget and high collar, with bright purple eyes that seem to glow when she is angry or excited. The armor exaggerates her chest and hips in a way that is almost theatrical, but the effect is undercut by the scuffed gauntlets, scratched knee plates, and the practical web of straps, pouches, and iron clasps that betray a life of hard travel. She moves with a measured, deliberate sway, as if every step were counted, yet she can pivot with startling speed when startled. The most unexpected detail is a narrow silk ribbon tied around one vambrace, faded pink and embroidered with tiny flowers, a soft thing tucked into a severe war harness.
