Scartella
Species
Dark elf
Appearance
Scartella is a tall dark elf woman with pale blue skin that has the matte, faintly powdery texture of old porcelain. She moves with a quiet, measured glide, favoring neither foot, but seeming to arrive half a heartbeat before her body does. Her long white hair is braided with tiny bone beads that click only when someone nearby lies. Her face is serene and almost maternal, while her hands are startlingly warm for a vampire. The contradiction is immediate: she looks like a corpse dressed for court, yet her expressions are soft, attentive, and vividly alive. She leaves behind the impression of cold moonlight, pressed velvet, and a room that has just gone silent.
“Soft, low, and carefully paced. Her voice carries the rounded cadence of old mountain dialects, with gentle consonants and an unnerving habit of becoming warmer when she discusses death.”

Distinguishing Features
Her pale blue skin has a dry porcelain texture, with faint silver lines at the wrists that resemble crazed ceramic glaze.
Her white hair is threaded with tiny bone beads that click when someone nearby lies.
Her hands are unnaturally warm despite her vampiric nature.
She smells faintly of violet ink, cold stone, and candle smoke.
Her shadow sometimes appears to be kneeling when she is standing.
Voice
“A quiet contralto with a velvety resonance, like someone speaking from the far end of a stone chapel. When enraged, she becomes more polite and lowers her voice until others must lean close to hear her.”
Clothing
A fitted black vampire jacket of heavy velvet and boiled leather, fastened with dull silver clasps shaped like closed eyelids. Beneath it she wears a high-collared ivory shirt, charcoal trousers, and soft black boots. A narrow crimson sash holds her grimoire, calligrapher's tools, and a grave-salt pouch.
Body Language
Scartella stands unnervingly still while listening, with her hands folded at her waist like a patient undertaker. When she becomes angry, she grows more graceful rather than more animated. She tilts her head toward sounds others miss, and her fingers occasionally trace invisible letters against her palm.
