Appearance
A petite, athletic young woman who seems built for slipping through crowded streets rather than overpowering anyone. Her skin is light olive and sun-warmed, with a fine grain of weathering across her nose and forearms from years of fog, salt wind, and outdoor watch duty. Thick black-brown hair is braided low, though damp wisps curl persistently around her ears. Her vivid hazel-green eyes are flecked with amber, but what people notice first is where those eyes travel: hinges, rooftops, hands, windows, and the empty space behind anyone speaking. She leans slightly forward as though listening to a door that has not yet opened, with one shoulder habitually angled toward the nearest exit. Her smile is tender and watchful at once. The unexpected contradiction is her hands, which are broad-palmed, ink-stained, and surprisingly gentle, more like a bookbinder's than a swordswoman's. She moves with a quiet, almost domestic efficiency until danger appears, at which point her stillness becomes startlingly complete.
“Low, clear, and slightly breathless, as if every sentence has been prepared while walking quickly. She pronounces names carefully, gives places before people when describing events, and becomes almost whisper-quiet when angry.”

Distinguishing Features
Her gaze constantly maps exits, hands, and rooflines before settling on a speaker.
Her low braid is threaded with three faded red cords, each tied for someone she failed to find.
Her brass bracelet is made from melted fragments of the old market bell.
She taps the pommel of her sword in groups of three when thinking.
Her palms are ink-stained from copying names and maps despite her occupation as a guard.
Voice
“A low contralto with a warm rasp at the edges, like a kettle beginning to boil. She can project across fog without shouting, and her rare laugh comes out as a startled snort that she pretends not to notice.”
Clothing
A chain shirt lies beneath a mended smoke-blue wool tabard, its hem darkened by marsh mud. A muted red sash holds a brass whistle, a ring of keys, and a narrow leather notebook. A thin brass chain bracelet circles her left wrist. Her boots are soft-soled and repeatedly resoled, and the right boot contains a hidden needle case.
Body Language
She leans toward people when they speak, yet keeps one shoulder turned toward an exit. Her fingers tap the pommel of her sheathed longsword in measured groups of three, stopping abruptly whenever someone lies. When she is frightened, she becomes unnervingly still rather than visibly tense.
