Elf
Appearance
Mirelth is a striking blonde elf whose beauty has the severe, deliberate edge of a blade kept too sharp. Her hair is pale gold, thick as spun flax, and usually pinned up with brass pins shaped like pine needles, though a few rebellious strands always escape and cling to her temples when she is stressed. Her skin is fair with a cool undertone, almost luminous in moonlight, but the skin over her left chest is marred by a black tumor like a bruise made of ink and glass, raised beneath the skin and webbed with faint violet veins. She wears it openly and with unnerving composure, as if scandal were beneath her. Her movements are graceful but stingy, every gesture economical, and she stands with the stillness of someone trying to waste neither breath nor time. The contradiction is immediate and memorable: she dresses in elegant white travel clothes embroidered with gold thread, yet they are stained at the cuffs with acid burns and hidden pockets full of herbs, bolts, and tiny surgical implements. Even at her most imperious, there is something fragile in the way she turns slightly away from warmth, as if she has already begun to leave the room.
“Precise, low, and clipped, with a habit of turning affection into instructions and fear into jokes that land half a second too late..”

Distinguishing Features
A black tumor beneath the left side of her chest, glossy as obsidian and faintly veined with violet.
Pale gold hair pinned with brass pine-needle clasps.
A scent of resin, bitter herbs, and clean smoke that follows her everywhere.
Tiny acid scars on her knuckles and wrists from years of experimental work.
One eye has a slightly different brightness in sunlight, giving her gaze an uncanny asymmetry.
Voice
“A cool, polished contralto with an undertow of fatigue that only appears when she thinks no one is listening”
Clothing
A tailored white travel coat over a dark green fitted tunic, layered with hidden pockets, a brass-buckled reagent belt, knee-high black boots, and a short cloak lined with waxed pine-fiber thread. Her gloves are split at the fingertips for delicate work, and the right cuff is permanently stained blue-black from corrosive compounds.
Body Language
Her chin lifts when challenged, but her fingers constantly touch the edge of her collarbone as if checking the boundary of the tumor through the cloth. She walks with quick, precise steps and stops abruptly, like a clock striking the hour. When angry, she smiles first and blinks less often.
