Appearance
Pela Tskhvari is a narrow-shouldered young woman with strong wrists, restless hands, and the compact balance of someone accustomed to carrying sloshing buckets across uneven stone. Her face is open and sun-browned, but her smile reveals a conspicuous row of small, square teeth polished almost blue-white by years of chewing fennel seed. Her dark auburn hair is braided with red thread and tucked beneath a faded linen kerchief. She moves quickly in short, decisive bursts, then freezes completely when listening. Her clothes are patched, poorly fitted, and perpetually dusted with flour, yet one tiny brass button at her throat is polished with devotional care. The unexpected contradiction is her laugh, which is deep, booming, and startlingly regal for such a slight woman.
“Fast, bright, and full of abrupt changes in volume. Her vowels carry a faint hill-country lilt, while her consonants become sharply clipped whenever she is bargaining or frightened.”

Distinguishing Features
A polished brass button is always fastened at her throat, even when the rest of her clothing is filthy.
Her small square teeth flash visibly whenever she laughs, creating an unexpectedly commanding impression.
She has a red thread tied around her left wrist, renewed every first snowfall.
The fingers of her right hand are permanently darkened by lamp soot despite frequent washing.
Voice
“A warm contralto with a rough edge, capable of sounding like a conspiratorial aunt, a scolding magistrate, or a delighted child within the same sentence.”
Clothing
A patched russet wool dress over a faded cream blouse, a smoke-stained green apron with seven practical pockets, thick gray stockings darned in contrasting red thread, and soft leather shoes reinforced with strips of old harness. Her kerchief is held by a polished brass button taken from her father's traveling coat.
Body Language
Pela leans forward as if every conversation is a secret worth stealing. She keeps her thumbs hooked into her apron cords, taps one heel when calculating, and tilts her head sharply when someone invokes authority. When truly angry, she becomes perfectly still and folds her hands over her polished brass button.
