Cadefa is a fair-skinned elf with a narrow, elegant face and an unnervingly composed stillness. His very long pale-blond hair falls nearly to his knees, so fine that it moves a heartbeat after he does, as though following a delayed breeze. His pointed ears are decorated with delicate chains of gold wire and violet glass, and warm amber-rose eyes watch people with the concentration of someone reading a page beneath their skin. Purple eye pigment curls from the outer corners in vine-like motifs, joined by fine green-and-gold botanical markings painted along his temples and cheekbones. He wears pale green and ivory in layered, flowing shapes that make his silhouette resemble a walking sprig of moonlit foliage, edged in purple and gold trim. A purple-crystal pendant rests at his sternum and catches light even when no light seems present. Within a minute of meeting him, most people notice that Cadefa pauses before speaking, inhales softly through his nose, and occupies more conversational space than he appears to intend. The contradiction is striking: his manner is gentle and courtly, but his attention can feel like a hand quietly turning one's face toward the scene he has already chosen.
