Appearance
Saravi has the poised, severe beauty of a statue left outdoors through many winters. She moves with almost no wasted motion, turning her whole body around the line of her saber rather than stepping around it. Her hands are the first thing most people notice: long-fingered, heavily callused across the palms, with pale metallic staining worked permanently into the creases from decades of tempering enchanted steel. She keeps her nails trimmed short and polished with clear resin, an unexpectedly vain detail beneath her practical armor. Her face is composed and elegant, but her posture has a quiet exhaustion to it, as if every joint is listening for an approaching storm. The contradictory impression is striking: she looks cold enough to freeze a room, yet she instinctively straightens crooked furniture and quietly repairs torn gloves for prisoners who cannot thank her.
“Low, precise, and unhurried. Her voice rarely rises above conversational volume, even during battle.”

Distinguishing Features
Metallic gray staining permanently marks the creases of her palms.
Her hair is braided with tiny iron rings that click softly when she turns her head.
She carries herself with ceremonial elegance but has the work-worn hands of a blacksmith.
Her left sleeve contains a hidden strip of blue prison cloth sewn there by a former inmate.
She never allows Winter to touch bare ground, even when resting.
Voice
“A controlled contralto with a dry, wintry timbre, softened only when speaking to children, injured soldiers, or people who have stopped pretending to be brave.”
Clothing
A fitted coat of dark blue lamellar over flexible silver-gray mail, a high collar of quilted white wool, reinforced riding boots, and a sleeveless overskirt divided for movement. Her captain's insignia is a nine-point iron star worn inside the coat rather than displayed. She wears thin gloves in public but removes them whenever she needs to judge someone's honesty.
Body Language
Her shoulders remain level even under threat. She stands just outside arm's reach from everyone except frightened children and trusted prisoners. When considering a lie, she rubs the resin on her thumbnail. When deciding to attack, she becomes completely still.
