Appearance
Mara is a lean, weathered human woman who looks as if the wind itself has spent years trying to sand her down and failed. Her skin is sun-browned and faintly freckled, with the rough texture of someone who lives outdoors through every season. She moves with a careful, almost reedy lightness, but there is a surprising stillness to her hands, like a surgeon or a card sharp. Her left sleeve is stitched with old scorch marks, yet she keeps it neatly mended with bright yellow thread, an odd touch of cheer against her grave, dust-laden presence. When she stands in the road, she seems to listen to the plain more than she listens to people.
“Measured and plainspoken, with occasional dry rural sayings and a habit of pausing to think before the important word lands..”

Distinguishing Features
A lightning-burn scar shaped like a split furrow running from wrist to elbow
One brass button sewn into every outfit she owns
Ash-gray dust that never quite leaves the cuffs of her clothes
A small iron plow charm hidden beneath her collar
Her right iris has a faint ring of gold when she casts spells
Voice
“Low, steady, and slightly raspy from years of dust and wind, with an unexpectedly gentle cadence when speaking to the worried or injured.”
Clothing
A patched green-brown fieldcoat over a mud-resistant linen tunic, heavy wool skirt-trousers, leather boots with stitched soles, and a grain-pouch belt carrying chalk, twine, and a little iron plumb bob
Body Language
She stands with one shoulder slightly forward, as if leaning into invisible wind, and her fingers constantly brush dust from sleeves, hems, and tablet edges.
