Velluun Siltwake
Species
Marrowfin
Appearance
Velluun Siltwake has a slender, slightly hunched silhouette, as if perpetually leaning into an unseen current. Their soft, otter-like face is framed by delicate external gill-frills that flutter when they are excited or frightened. Their skin has the damp sheen of river stones, and tiny pale scales gather along the wrists, throat, and cheekbones. They move with a careful, gliding gait that becomes startlingly quick when danger appears. A long scar crosses their left shoulder in the shape of a branching river delta. Despite their aquatic features and perpetually wet-looking skin, Velluun dresses with immaculate precision and smells faintly of lavender soap and old paper.
“Soft, precise, and slightly breathy, with a faint bubbling resonance on certain consonants. Velluun speaks quickly when discussing routes or danger, but slows dramatically when mentioning the dead.”

Silver gill-frills that flutter like tiny flags.
A branching river-delta scar over the left shoulder.

Voice
“A low, gentle voice with a wet clicking undertone, like pebbles nudged by a shallow stream”
Clothing
A charcoal-green coat sewn from waxed rivercloth, fastened with polished fishbone toggles. Beneath it they wear a cream shirt with pleated cuffs, dark knee-length trousers, soft waterproof boots, and a red sash containing tiny sealed vials of water from important places. Their clothing is formal by Marrowfin standards, almost comically so for someone who frequently crawls through mud.
Body Language
They tilt their head as if listening to distant water, fold their hands over their ribs when withholding information, and tap two fingers against any nearby container holding liquid. When frightened, their gill-frills flatten and their smile becomes unnervingly broad.
