Appearance
Marda is a broad-shouldered human woman who looks built from the same honest materials as her workshop, with flour-smudged sleeves, a belt full of nails, and forearms nicked by old repairs. Her hands are thick-palmed and callused, but she moves with surprising softness, as if every step has been measured on a creaking floorboard. She wears a patched indigo apron over practical wool trousers, and despite the soot on her cheek and the rust on her tool hooks, she always smells faintly of lavender soap. The contradictory detail that makes people stare is the neat silver brooch pinned at her throat, a delicate thing shaped like a swan, worn over work clothes stained by mud and grease.
“Plainspoken, wry, and low-voiced, with the cadence of someone used to giving instructions over hammer blows. She rarely wastes words, but when she worries, she talks faster and becomes unexpectedly poetic about metal, weather, and broken things.”

Distinguishing Features
A faint burn scar crossing two knuckles on her right hand
A silver swan brooch worn over a soot-stained apron

Voice
“Warm, rough, and steady, like gravel under cart wheels, with a surprising gentleness when speaking to frightened people.”
Clothing
Patchwork workshirt, indigo apron, heavy leather belt with tool loops, stout boots caked with forge ash and lane mud, and a silver swan brooch at the collar.
Body Language
Plants her feet like a fence post, folds her arms when thinking, and points with the hammer instead of a finger. In irritation, her jaw tightens and she exhales through her nose before speaking. When someone is honest or vulnerable, she softens by half a step and keeps her hands busy so she will not seem sentimental.
