Appearance
Mina is a small, striking human woman with a soft, almost doll-like face that clashes with the hard economy of her movements. She walks as if every floorboard has already betrayed her once, placing each foot quietly and completely. Her arms are lean and heavily scarred, with pale rope burns around one wrist, a crescent cut beneath her collarbone, and a ladder of tiny white marks along her ribs. Her hands are delicate enough to look ornamental until she closes them. A faint smile often rests on her mouth, but it never reaches her eyes. The unexpected contradiction is her constant scent of toasted sesame and clean laundry, domestic traces that cling to someone who has spent years hiding in cellars, alleys, and locked rooms.
“Her voice is low, clear, and carefully paced. She speaks with the clipped precision of someone trained never to waste breath, yet her vowels soften when she is tired or speaking to children.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin scar crosses the bridge of her nose and turns white when she is cold.
Her left ear has been notched twice, once by the Quiet Ledger and once by Mina herself to mark the end of her old life.
She smiles at moments of extreme danger, not from pleasure but from concentration.
The brass thimble around her neck is visibly worn smooth from years of rubbing it between her fingers.
Her shadow sometimes seems to pause half a heartbeat after she moves, a phenomenon she insists is caused by poor lanterns.
Voice
“A low, calm contralto with a faint rasp, like cloth drawn over a wooden edge”
Clothing
She wears layered charcoal and faded plum robes made from soft, washable cloth. The sleeves are cut short to leave her scarred arms bare and allow free movement. A broad sash holds hidden pockets, bandages, a sewing kit, and three dull copper coins. Her traveling cloak is brown-green, patched at the hem, and lined with scraps of mismatched fabric taken from old disguises. She wears split-soled boots and no jewelry except a plain brass thimble tied around her neck.
Body Language
Mina keeps her shoulders loose and her elbows close to her ribs. Her gaze moves constantly, but her head rarely does. When comfortable, she folds one ankle behind the other and taps a thumb against her forefinger in a slow, almost musical rhythm. When frightened, she becomes unnervingly still rather than visibly tense.
