Elara possesses a rigid, military posture that suggests years of relentless drill. Her skin is sun-bronzed and has a leathery texture, etched with fine lines around her eyes. She has a sharp, hawk-like nose and a heavy jawline that she keeps clenched. Most striking is a shock of bone-white hair that runs like a lightning bolt through her otherwise dark mane. She moves with a heavy, deliberate grace, though a slight limp in her left leg is visible during cold mornings. Despite her martial exterior, she wears a delicate necklace of polished river stones that clinks softly against her scarred plate armor.
