Appearance
Seris Dane is a broad-shouldered half-elf woman with a compact, weathered strength that makes her seem rooted even while standing still. Her tawny skin has the dry warmth of western Aundairian summers, and fine lines gather at the corners of her eyes from years of squinting across courtyards and watching students fail safely. Her dark brown hair is cut to jaw length and tied back with a faded blue cord, though loose strands constantly escape around her ears. She moves with economical precision, never quite hurrying, yet somehow arriving before everyone else. In a crowded room she takes up more space than her size suggests, partly because people unconsciously give way to her. The unexpected softness is in her hands: her palms are broad and callused, but her fingers are unusually delicate and quick, better suited to mending torn cloth than breaking a grip. Within a minute of meeting her, most people notice the small iron monastery bell she wears at her belt, its rim polished bright where her thumb rubs it during thought.
“Precise and unhurried, with a low Aundairian cadence. She favors plain words, concrete examples, and pauses long enough to make evasion uncomfortable.”

Distinguishing Features
A small iron monastery bell hangs at her belt, polished bright along one edge by years of unconscious thumb-rubbing.
She occupies space with quiet authority, causing people to straighten or step aside before realizing they have done so.
Her hands are heavily callused at the palms but unusually fine-boned at the fingers.
A pale crescent of old pressure marks circles one wrist from decades of wearing training wraps too tightly.
She keeps her head very still while her eyes move constantly, measuring exits, footing, fatigue, and posture.
Voice
“A low, clear contralto with a dry edge, steady enough to cut through a noisy training yard without becoming loud.”
Clothing
A sleeveless indigo training tunic over a cream linen shirt, loose charcoal trousers tied at the ankles, soft leather footwraps, and a weather-stained blue sash bearing the simple knot of a senior instructor. Her clothing is clean but visibly repaired, with tiny white stitches around one knee and a permanently darkened patch where the monastery bell rubs against the sash.
Body Language
Seris stands with her feet slightly turned outward and her hands loosely folded behind her back. She leans forward by a fraction when listening, as if receiving weight. In anger she becomes almost motionless. In amusement, one corner of her mouth lifts while her thumb polishes the rim of the bell at her belt.
