Sarana Koyak
Commoner
Sarana Koyak
Species
Longtooth Shifter
Appearance
Sarana has the sturdy, weather-shaped presence of someone who has spent half her life leaning into sea wind. She stands with one heel slightly lifted and keeps her weight over the balls of her feet, as if expecting a wave, a loose plank, or a sudden child to require her attention. Her movements are economical but never hurried. Even while carrying a basket, she turns her whole body toward whoever is speaking, giving them her full attention. Her face is broad and warm, with a strong jaw that becomes visibly more lupine when she shifts. The unexpected thing about her is her delicacy: her hands are large, blunt-knuckled, and nicked from kiln work, yet she handles tiny sea-glass beads with the care of a watchmaker. She smells faintly of salt, wet rope, toasted sesame, and woodsmoke, a scent she assumes everyone near the hostel shares.
“Sarana speaks in a low, practical contralto with a soft shoreline cadence. She favors short sentences, concrete images, and questions that sound casual but are meant to assess danger.”

Distinguishing Features
Her lower canine teeth are slightly prominent even when she is not shifted.
A thin line of pale kiln dust often clings to the creases of her palms.
She wears a necklace made from sea-glass pieces in muted green, milk-white, and amber, each wrapped in a different color of cord.
She tilts her head toward the sea whenever a distant boat changes course.
Her scent of salt, sesame, wet rope, and woodsmoke is noticeable within a minute of meeting her.
Voice
“Low, warm, and dryly amused, with the roughened resonance of someone who speaks over wind and surf. When angry, she becomes quieter and more exact.”
Clothing
She wears a faded indigo wrap skirt over rolled trousers, a sleeveless rust-red work tunic, and a salt-stiffened cream shawl pinned at one shoulder. Her belt carries kiln tongs, cord, a small whetstone, and a pouch of sea-glass fragments. She goes barefoot indoors and wears woven reed sandals outside.
Body Language
When waiting, Sarana braces two fingers against the nearest solid surface and keeps one foot angled toward the door. When relaxed, she sits sideways on benches with her knees tucked under her, her tail and shoulders making small rhythmic motions like a metronome.
