Appearance
A quiet young woman with a long, deliberate posture, Nalia gives the impression of someone who has learned to make herself smaller than the spaces she enters. She moves with a measured, heel-light gait, favoring neither side, but pauses so completely when examining something that people sometimes mistake her for a carved figure. Her most striking feature is her mouth: broad, soft-lipped, and full of unusually even square teeth that show whenever she eats or laughs. She chews with the solemn concentration of a scholar annotating a text, then suddenly smiles with startling warmth. Her hands are narrow and ink-stained, with short nails packed permanently with pale limestone dust. Despite her severe, shadowed silhouette, she smells faintly of pear soap and toasted sesame, an unexpectedly domestic note in the cold tomb.
“Low, clear, and unhurried. Nalia speaks as if every sentence is being copied into a permanent record.”

Distinguishing Features
Her broad, square-toothed smile appears unexpectedly beneath an otherwise reserved expression.
The first joints of her fingers are permanently gray with limestone dust and old ink.
She pauses unnervingly still whenever she hears paper turning.
Her coat contains dozens of tiny stitched symbols marking books she has read, lost, or failed to save.
Voice
“A soft contralto with a dry, careful warmth. Her laugh is sudden and bright, made more memorable by the full flash of her even square teeth.”
Clothing
A charcoal traveling coat cut close at the wrists, layered over a faded blue tunic and a high-collared linen shirt. Her trousers are wrapped at the calves with gray cloth strips, and her soft-soled boots are reinforced with stitched leather. A broad archive satchel hangs across her body, its flap covered in careful repairs. Brass page weights, chalk tubes, glass vials, and folded measuring cords hang from her belt.
Body Language
Nalia stands very still while listening, with her chin slightly lowered and her fingers resting flat against the nearest solid surface. When she becomes excited, she leans forward without realizing it, as though the answer might be physically closer. Her laughter begins silently in her shoulders before reaching her mouth.
