Emiliane Sallidor
Species

Appearance
Emiliane lies propped among too many pillows in a narrow bed beneath a window overlooking Magnimar's rain-dark roofs. She is visibly wasting away, with fine bones, hollowed cheeks, and wrists so slight that her nightclothes gather around them. Her mouth is unexpectedly broad, and when she smiles, the lower row of her teeth shows first, small and blunt like worn ivory pegs. She moves very little, but never slackly. Her head turns before her eyes do, and her fingers keep a restless three-beat rhythm against the bed board whenever she is thinking. The contradictory impression is that of a frail child with the stillness and judgment of an old clerk who has already seen several families ruin themselves.
“Her voice is low, dry, and unexpectedly steady. She speaks in short, complete sentences, with the careful diction of someone raised among nobles but none of their habit of padding an answer.”

Distinguishing Features
Her lower teeth show first whenever she smiles or laughs, giving her expression an oddly mischievous cast.
She taps a precise three-beat rhythm with her fingers whenever she is thinking.
Her eyes remain intensely alert despite the exhaustion in the rest of her face.
She keeps her brass signet on a cord around her neck because her fingers have grown too thin for it.
Her writing board is covered in cramped figures, crossed-out totals, and small notes addressed to people who may never read them.
Voice
“Low, dry, and steady, with the careful diction of a noble education worn down into practical honesty.”
Clothing
A loose cream sleeping dress beneath a dark wine-colored wool robe, both altered by servants to fit her shrinking frame. She wears a plain brass signet ring on a cord around her neck rather than on her finger, because her hands have become too thin to keep it secure.
Body Language
Emiliane sits unnervingly still during introductions, then begins tapping three fingers against the bed frame once the conversation becomes interesting. She holds her shoulders square despite her weakness. When angry, she stops blinking for several seconds at a time. When amused, she tilts her head and exposes the lower row of her teeth before the smile reaches her eyes.
