Vanya Voros
Species
Dwarf
Appearance
Vanya Voros is a broad-shouldered dwarf woman with a severe, handsome face and the stillness of someone who has learned to make an entire room wait. Her skin carries the warm brown tone of polished walnut, marked by fine silver scars along her left jaw from a quarry collapse. Her dark hair is braided into four heavy ropes threaded with copper wire, each braid ending in a small iron seal. She moves with calculated grace, never hurrying, though her hands are astonishingly quick when placing documents, sliding a blade across a table, or snatching a falling cup. Her presence is intimidating, yet an unexpected softness follows her everywhere: she smells faintly of rosewater and warm bread, and she keeps one chipped ceramic bird tucked inside her sleeve.
“Her speech is low, precise, and beautifully structured. She gives every sentence enough room to settle before continuing, and she rarely repeats a word.”

Distinguishing Features
Three iron-sealed braids threaded with copper wire
A fine fan of silver scars along her left jaw
A chipped ceramic bird hidden in her sleeve
A black iron cane capped with a tiny balance scale
An unnerving habit of smiling only after someone has made a mistake
Voice
“A resonant contralto with a faint rasp, like iron dragged across dressed stone. Her volume rarely rises, yet her words carry through crowded furnace halls and echo beneath the quarry vaults.”
Clothing
Heavy charcoal velvet coats layered over fitted steel-weave garments, trimmed with polished iron plates engraved with contract clauses. Her sleeves are lined in deep blue silk, her boots have reinforced toes, and a narrow belt carries seals, chalk, wax, and three different kinds of writing instruments.
Body Language
Vanya sits with both feet planted and her hands folded over the head of her cane. She rarely blinks during a negotiation. When someone lies, one copper-threaded braid slowly tightens around her shoulder as she turns her head. Genuine affection makes her visibly awkward, causing her to fuss with cuffs, seals, or the chipped ceramic bird.
