Slender even by elven standards with a soft lilac sheen to her skin that seems to catch the light like polished pearl. Her silver-blonde hair is braided down her back but the braid frays near the end, threaded through with faded strips of parchment and tiny brass quills. The braid moves almost independently when she is thinking, a small tell. Her long ears taper sharply and are pierced with a pair of thin, hammered-silver loops. Her garments are careful and utilitarian: layered linen robes patched at the elbows and a faded tabard bearing the cairn-mark of the bastion she tends. Unexpectedly she wears a pair of heavy, scuffed leather boots that look at odds with her gliding steps and scholarly manner.
