A slim figure who moves like a reed in a current. Skin carries a faint, iridescent sheen that looks like wet river glass when sunlight hits it. Horns curve back and then outward like the prow of a boat, polished dark bone with a single carved notch on the left horn marking the first raft she owned. Her tail is unusually dexterous, often curled around a rope or draped over a rail as if it were another hand. Contradiction: her clothing is practical and stained with river silt, yet she wears a tidy, hand-stitched brass signet pinned inside her jacket that reads a single word in an old city tongue, polished as if for formal meetings
