Crossways Hold: Mira Underbough
Cheese Master
Crossways Hold: Mira Underbough
Species
Halfling
Appearance
A compact halfling with the slow, practiced movements of someone who spends days tending cellars and rounds of cheese. Her hands are small, sturdy, and slightly stained with rind and ash. She wears a layered apron patched with embroidered sigils of Crossways Hold, each patch commemorating a successful season. A fine dusting of chalk and noble-mold often clings to the hem of her skirt. She carries a small wooden tasting paddle carved with the names of every apprentice she has trained. Unexpectedly, Mira keeps a single silk ribbon braided into her hair that was taken from a noble's coat the evening he apologized for a market insult.
“Measured and ceremonious in public. Uses culinary metaphors and invites people to 'taste the outline of the truth'.”

“A warm alto that carries authority without harshness. Hums a quiet tasting tune when working in the cellar.”
Clothing
Layered homespun skirts, a leather-worked apron full of pockets, elbow-length linen sleeves stained with faint yellow. A silk ribbon braided into her hair, and a slender copper chain with a tiny hollowed bone charm used to carry a pinch of ash.
Body Language
Mira favors small, economical gestures. She touches cheeses with reverence and inclines her head in a way that invites confidence. When angry she folds her arms and taps the tasting paddle against her palm slowly.
