Velis is a study in verticality, standing tall with a rigid, bird-like posture that makes him seem taller than his actual height. His skin is the color of aged parchment, stretched thin over exceptionally sharp, hawkish facial features. He wears heavy, midnight-blue silk robes embroidered with constellations in silver thread that catch the light like actual stars. Curiously, while his attire is immaculate, his long fingers are permanently stained with a vibrant cerulean drafting ink that refuses to wash out, and his left earlobe bears a tiny, jagged scar that twitches when he is stressed. His silver hair is gathered into a precise top-knot held by an obsidian pin.
