A young dwarf woman with a compact, powerful frame built on nearly human proportions, standing upright with the poised stillness of someone accustomed to listening before moving. Her skin is warm umber with a faint copper cast across the nose and knuckles. Thick dark-brown hair is cut to the jaw in uneven, practical layers, yet each strand is kept meticulously oiled and tucked behind small bronze ear cuffs. Her face is broad at the cheekbones but unusually open and human in expression, with a soft mouth that often looks one breath away from laughter. Her shoulders and forearms carry the dense musculature of climbing and hauling, while her long stride gives her an unexpectedly graceful silhouette. She moves quietly for someone so solid, placing each foot as if the ground has personally offended her. The contradictory first impression is that she looks carefully groomed and almost delicate until she lifts a pack, a stone, or an armed opponent with startling ease.
