Pyranilla Bottlenose is a compact, silver-dusted forest gnome with a clever, foxlike face and hands stained faint blue by alchemical inks. Her hair is a cascade of copper coils pinned up with tiny glass vials that chime when she turns her head. Her left eye is warm hazel, her right is pale opaline from an old spellfire accident, and both seem to be measuring the room for exits, angles, and lies at once. She moves with quick, deliberate steps like someone perpetually balancing a tray of unstable potions, yet she wears a pristine, embroidered apron over soot-dark traveling robes, an unexpected contrast that makes her look half apothecary, half battlefield aristocrat.
