Appearance
Marda is a wiry goblin woman with long, jointed fingers and a posture that makes her seem folded even when standing. Her olive skin is dusted with pale gray fallout freckles, and one ear has been stitched back together with blue thread. Her black hair is cut in uneven clumps, but a single glossy braid hangs perfectly down her back, carefully oiled and tied with a child's red ribbon. She moves with a sideways, insectlike quickness, always placing her feet where the ground looks least trustworthy. Her crooked smile suggests amusement, while her exhausted eyes make it clear she has not felt safe in years. The unexpected softness of her meticulously braided hair clashes with the rest of her ragged, scavenger's appearance.
“Her voice is low, quick, and rasped by dust. She clips the ends from sentences, pauses before names, and becomes unnervingly polite when issuing threats.”

Distinguishing Features
A blue-thread repair crossing her right ear.
A single glossy braid tied with a child's red ribbon.
A missing lower canine replaced by a polished brass bead.
Gray fallout freckles across her cheeks and shoulders.
A habit of keeping one eye slightly more closed than the other, making every expression look skeptical.
Voice
“A dry contralto with a faint whistle on sibilant sounds, like air leaking through a cracked pipe.”
Clothing
Layered rags made from torn canvas, faded tent cloth, and stitched grain sacks. She wears one oversized boot, one wrapped foot, a belt of knotted cords, and a hood lined with pages torn from a weatherproof ledger. Nothing is clean, but every tear has been repaired with deliberate, contrasting stitches.
Body Language
Marda keeps her shoulders raised and her chin tucked, as though expecting falling debris. When relaxed, she sits on the floor with her knees drawn up and braids loose threads between her fingers. She touches the red ribbon whenever someone mentions family.
