Elara possesses skin the texture of polished walnut wood and eyes that shimmer like liquid honey in the sun. She moves with a silent, fluid grace that makes her appear to be gliding across the tavern floor rather than walking. Her hair is a tangle of autumnal copper and deep moss green, often adorned with real, living sprigs of jasmine that bloom or wilt based on her mood. Despite her wild aesthetic, she is meticulously clean, obsessively polishing her glassware with a silk cloth. A startling contrast is the heavy, masterfully forged cold-iron key she wears on a silver chain; it never touches her skin, wrapped carefully in enchanted birch bark.
