Bard
Qirima Mavuto
Species
Half-Elf, drow-blooded
Appearance
Qirima Mavuto is a slender half-elf woman with the poised stillness of someone accustomed to being watched. She moves through a room in smooth, measured turns, never brushing a chair or allowing a wineglass to rattle in her hand. Her face is narrow and warm-featured, with high cheekbones, a softly cleft chin, and faint violet freckles scattered across her nose like spilled ink. Her drow blood shows most strongly in the darkness of her eyes and the slight taper of her ears, yet her smile is open and almost disarmingly domestic. The unexpected contradiction is her hands, which are broad, scarred, and heavily callused from years of pruning vines and repairing casks. She leaves an impression of velvet, cellar stone, and a knife carefully folded into linen.
“Her voice is low, rounded, and musical, with softened consonants and a gentle river-country cadence. She speaks slowly when serving wine, quickly when exchanging coded intelligence, and almost tenderly when threatening someone.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent-shaped scar beneath her left jaw, usually hidden by perfume and collar fabric.
Violet freckles across her nose that darken when she is exhausted.
A missing tip from her right little finger, lost while opening a sabotaged cask.
Her copper cellar key is warm even in winter, due to a minor custom enchantment.
She smells faintly of plum skin, beeswax, and cold earth.
Voice
“Soft contralto, warm as mulled wine, with a careful rhythm that makes every pause feel intentional.”
Clothing
A deep plum traveling dress under a fitted charcoal waistcoat, both cut to conceal small blades and vials. She wears a cream linen apron embroidered with grape leaves, soft leather boots, a copper cellar key on a blue cord, and one pearl earring shaped like a teardrop.
Body Language
Qirima keeps her shoulders relaxed and her chin slightly lowered, as though listening through the floor. She rotates a wineglass by the stem when thinking, but stops moving entirely when she has decided to lie. In combat, her graceful hospitality vanishes and her feet become planted, economical, and brutally precise.
