Species
Lightfoot halfling
Appearance
Nemi is a compact lightfoot halfling with a quick, birdlike head and an unsettling habit of looking at doorways, hands, and reflections before looking at faces. Her movements are economical when watched and almost buoyant when she thinks no one is paying attention. She has a round, open face that suggests harmless good cheer, but her smile arrives a heartbeat late, as though selected from a shelf of practiced expressions. Her clothes smell faintly of beeswax, rain-damp wool, and orange peel. The unexpected contradiction is her hands: nimble enough to palm a coin, yet visibly callused from years of repairing tiny bells and tuning wire mechanisms.
“Nemi speaks in polished, conversational Common with occasional Halfling idioms and thieves' cant hidden inside ordinary compliments. Her sentences often arrive in three parts, with the final phrase delivered as though revealing a punchline.”

Distinguishing Features
Her eyes constantly map the room, especially hands, mirrors, windows, and unattended cups.
A black-threaded brass bell is hidden beneath her collar and never makes a sound.
She has a small crescent-shaped gap between her upper front teeth, visible only when she laughs sincerely.
She can produce a convincing sob on one breath, but cannot cry when genuinely upset.
She carries herself like an actor waiting for a cue, even while eating or tying her boots.
Voice
“A bright contralto with a dry, conspiratorial warmth. She clears her throat once before a lie, inhales through her nose before changing tactics, and can produce a tremulous innocent voice so convincing that even she seems briefly surprised by it.”
Clothing
A russet waistcoat over a cream shirt with sleeves rolled precisely to the same height, a moss-green traveling coat with hidden inner pockets, soft brown trousers, and polished ankle boots. A tiny brass bell hangs beneath her collar, wrapped in black thread so it cannot ring.
Body Language
Nemi keeps her torso angled toward the most convenient escape route while presenting her face to the person she is addressing. She touches two fingers to her lower lip before making an important lie, rolls coins across her knuckles when relaxed, and freezes completely when someone mentions Kettig.
