Ketta is a young dwarf with a broad, muscular torso and powerful arms, but her proportions are unusually humanlike, with long forearms, a narrow waist, and legs built for distance rather than climbing. She stands perfectly upright, never hunched, and moves with a quiet rolling gait that makes her seem to glide over uneven ground. Her face has a blunt, practical beauty: a square jaw softened by a small chin, high cheeks, a straight nose, and expressive brows that seem to speak before she does. Her skin has the texture of warm river clay, with faint freckles scattered across her shoulders and the bridge of her nose. Her hair is thick and dark, shaved close at the sides and gathered into a short, stiff braid behind one ear. She has no beard, and she is openly proud of that fact. The unexpected feature is her delicate hands, long-fingered and nimble enough to thread a needle or dismantle a trap, despite the dense strength of the rest of her body. Before speaking, she usually draws a quiet breath through her nose and clicks her tongue once against her teeth, as if testing the shape of the sentence.
