Species
Human
Appearance
Pella is small and wiry, all quick elbows and restless knees, with the compact strength of someone who has spent years dragging water buckets and saddles larger than herself. Her skin is sun-kissed and wind-chapped, freckled across the nose and shoulders. Copper curls escape a twine tie no matter how often she reties it, and her bright blue eyes seem to light up from within when she is near a stable or a dragon. She moves with eager, practical speed, except when excited, when she becomes all clumsy momentum and half-finished gestures. The contradiction that makes her unforgettable is her tack room grime and hay-filled sleeves paired with a tiny silver charm shaped like a ceremonial riding spur, polished to a mirror shine and worn as carefully as a royal jewel.
“Quick, eager, and a little breathless, as if every sentence has to catch up with her thoughts. She slips into practical stable jargon without noticing and often speaks to animals like they are important coworkers.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent scar on her wrist from the stable fire.
A tiny silver riding spur charm worn on a cord.
One permanent straw shard that seems to live in her hair no matter what.
Voice
“Warm, quick, and lightly roughened by hay dust and long mornings, with a habit of rising in pitch whenever she is trying not to sound excited.”
Clothing
Simple work clothes of undyed linen, a patched leather vest, rough trousers, and sturdy boots with replaceable soles. In cold weather she adds a drab wool shawl that smells faintly of oats and smoke. Her belt carries grooming tools, twine, and a small knife for cutting feed sacks.
Body Language
Leans forward as if the world is always just about to begin, with hands half-raised and ready to work. When anxious she rubs her thumb over the silver spur charm. Around drakes she slows down, shoulders softening, movements almost ceremonial.
