Appearance
Shiori has a small, lively face whose beauty only becomes apparent after several seconds of looking, as though her features are arranged for expression rather than display. Her pale skin carries a cool rose tint across the knuckles and ears. She moves with careful economy, placing her weight on the balls of her feet even when standing still, ready to turn without seeming hurried. Her dark hair is thick and straight, cut just below the jaw in uneven practical layers, with a narrow braid tucked behind one ear and threaded with blue sewing silk. Her eyes are a vivid green-gold, bright enough to seem almost lit from within in candlelight. She smells faintly of beeswax, damp stone, and plum tea, though she insists the scent comes from her satchel. Her hands are delicate but visibly strong, with ink-darkened thumb and forefinger. The unexpected contradiction is her smile, which is soft, almost girlish, while her stillness has the alert severity of a hunting animal.
“Soft, clear, and economical. Shiori speaks in a low conversational register, with careful pauses that make ordinary remarks sound considered.”

Distinguishing Features
Vivid green-gold eyes that catch candlelight.
A blue silk thread braided into her dark hair and replaced whenever it frays.
Ink permanently darkening the pad of her right thumb and the side of her forefinger.
A faint scent of beeswax, damp stone, and plum tea.
She stands with her weight forward, as if the floor might move if she trusts it too much.
Voice
“A low, gentle voice with a dry warmth beneath it, like paper brushed by a candle flame. She rarely raises it. When she does, the sudden force is more alarming than shouting.”
Clothing
A simple cream linen blouse beneath a smoke-blue wool overdress, fastened with small horn toggles rather than jewelry. She wears a narrow leather belt with a writing case, a folded gray half-cloak, practical ankle boots, and a single blue silk cord braided into her hair. The clothing is modest, clean, and cut for movement, with hidden inner pockets sewn into the bodice and skirt.
Body Language
When waiting, Shiori rests most of her weight on her left foot and keeps her right heel slightly raised. She angles her shoulders toward the nearest exit while keeping her face turned toward the speaker. Her hands rarely fidget, but her ink-stained thumb rubs slowly against the side of her forefinger when she is withholding information.
