Mirel appears like a narrow woman who moves as if the world is a series of tight corridors she already knows the exits to. Her default face is deliberately ordinary: oval cheekbones, a small scar bisecting the left eyebrow (real), and a persistent half-smile that never reaches her eyes. Her skin has a pearlescent quality in certain lights—she seems almost to reflect lamplight —and when she alters her face, the shift is subtle and tactile, like velvet being stretched. She wears a dark hooded cloak with a line of faded ink-stamped sigils under the collar; beneath are patchworked leather jerkin and close trousers with hidden pockets. Unexpectedly, she keeps one sleeve torn and cuffless, revealing a braided copper wire that coils along her forearm —a relic from a past identity that hums softly when she concentrates. The impression she leaves is of someone comfortable in the background but capable of stepping instantly into the foreground.
