A narrow-featured young woman who moves with deliberate calm. Her skin is freckled across the nose and knuckles, and a faint white scar curves like a comma from her left jawline to her ear. Her hair is shaved close on one side and falls in a thick, braided rope down her back on the other. She wears a battered iron circlet engraved with a tiny sunburst that sits crooked over one eyebrow. When she walks she sometimes pats the little leather pouch at her belt as if checking a sleeping thing. Contradictory detail She smells faintly of lavender and wet wool but when surprised she unconsciously sniffs her fingers as if searching for smoke.
