A performer who blends glamour and grit. She moves with the easy, practiced grace of someone who has spent years on stage. Her skin bears a few faded, salt-and-pepper scars along the forearms and a faint tan line across one shoulder. She wears polished boots and a waist sash of embroidered silk that catches the light. When she smiles it is warm but guarded. Unexpectedly, she carries an old carpenter's pencil behind her ear and sometimes absentmindedly sketches in the margins of napkins.
