Appearance
Brinna has a weathered, square face with a broken nose, deep smile lines, and skin roughened by salt, smoke, and years of scrubbing tables. Her movements are economical and deceptively quick. She leans heavily on the bar while listening, then crosses a room in three silent strides when trouble starts. Her hands are broad, scarred, and perpetually damp, with nails stained brown by tea, kelp, and old blood. She leaves an impression of sturdy warmth, yet her pale eyes rarely stop measuring exits. The unexpected contradiction is her immaculate posture when frightened. Terror makes her stand straighter, smooth her apron, and speak with the calm dignity of a priest at a funeral.
“Low, dry, and steady, with a rough coastal cadence. She speaks in short practical sentences, rarely wastes a word, and becomes unnervingly polite when furious.”

Distinguishing Features
A white scar runs from her left palm to the base of her thumb.
Her left eyebrow is permanently split by an old bottle wound.
She wears a copper fishhook pin that belonged to her drowned mother.
A one-eyed gray cat follows her during quiet hours and hisses at Tovin Rusk.
Voice
“A low contralto with a smoky edge, usually warm enough to make an insult sound like an invitation. When danger appears, her voice becomes quiet rather than loud.”
Clothing
A faded green wool dress beneath a brown leather apron, tarred boots, a red neck scarf held by a copper fishhook pin, and a ring of old keys tied to her belt with braided cord
Body Language
Brinna plants both feet before delivering bad news, folds towels when thinking, and touches the scar across her left palm whenever someone lies. She makes direct eye contact with frightened people but looks past confident people toward the nearest weapon.
