Elyssra Umbralyn
Warlock (Hexblade Pact of the Blade)
Elyssra Umbralyn
Species
Half-Elf
Appearance
Elyssra moves like someone who expects the floor to give way beneath her — hurried, cautious steps that still manage an uncanny grace inherited from elf blood. Her clothes are layered mismatched fabrics: a patched traveler's coat over a thin, scorched shift. A faint oily sheen clings to her hair and cloak as if she has walked through dusk itself. In dim light the edges of her shadow seem slightly too long, like a smear of ink trailing a heartbeat behind her. Unexpectedly, beneath the jitter of her movements she often freezes into statuesque, perfect elven poise when she thinks no one watches.
“Soft, halting sentences; she swallows consonants when scared and sometimes lapses mid-phrase into old elvish words. She often qualifies statements: 'I think…' 'Maybe…' 'Only if it's safe.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin crescent of pale skin at the throat where a branded sigil once was
A streak of silver hair over the left temple
Mismatched eyes (hazel and glassy silver)
Faint ink-like stain that clings to the hem of her cloak and never seems to wash out
Voice
“Soft, slightly reedy, trembling at the edges; a second voice that can slide in sounding hollow and old when the shadow speaks”
Clothing
Worn travel coat of dark wool; a charcoal linen shift; leather bracers scarred by burns; singed scarf she tucks into her collar when anxious. Her cloak looks ordinary until light fades, when faint runes edge into visibility.
Body Language
Keeps shoulders hunched, arms often crossed; fingers constantly occupied with small fidgeting motions; freezes into stillness when thinking; averts gaze; when comforted, she clutches the comforter as if anchoring to it
