Appearance
Sovai Keth is a tall, spare elf whose bearing makes stillness feel like command. Age has silvered the dark hair at her temples, though she wears the rest in a severe braid bound with black thread and narrow strips of faded crimson, the colors of mourning made official. Fine lines gather around her eyes, not from laughter but from sleepless calculation, and her pale, steady gaze rarely rests on anyone without seeming to weigh what they might become under pressure. She dresses in layered robes of charcoal, deep green, and bone white, cut for movement beneath their ceremonial dignity. A weathered mantle hangs from her shoulders, stitched with the names of dead clans in nearly invisible script. At her throat rests the Joined Seal, an ancient device of silver and dark crystal suspended on a chain that has left a permanent mark against her skin. Her hands are elegant but scarred, bearing the faint stains of archive ink and the old burns of battlefield rites. She carries no visible weapon beyond a narrow staff capped with a sealed glass vessel, yet guards and councillors alike make room when she enters. In private, the discipline of her appearance frays: loose strands escape her braid, her mantle slips from one shoulder, and her fingers worry constantly at the seal as though testing whether it still holds.
“Low, unhurried, and carefully articulated. Sovai rarely uses contractions in formal settings.”

Distinguishing Features
Seven braided cords of silver-black hair, each clasped with the emblem of a fallen political house.
Ritual ink on both hands forming interlocking door and key motifs.
The Joined Seal worn at her throat, made from two silver rings that never touch except when she invokes its authority.
A broad, genuine smile that appears most often in moments of danger or grief.
She leaves faint traces of warm copper scent from the seal-wax oils used in her office.
Voice
“A low contralto with a dry warmth, like a temple bell heard through stone. She can make a room feel quieter without raising her volume.”
Clothing
Layered charcoal, ivory, and deep green robes cut for movement rather than ceremony. The hems are repeatedly repaired with visible copper thread, while her collar is immaculate and over-cared-for. A mantle of translucent eel-skin hangs from one shoulder, an old Ark material that shines like wet glass. Her only jewelry is the Joined Seal, two interlocked silver rings suspended at her throat.
Body Language
When waiting, Sovai rests two fingers against the joined rings at her throat and places her left foot half a step behind her right, giving the impression of both invitation and retreat. She rarely points. Instead, she turns her palm toward a person as if weighing them. Her expression changes less than her breathing, which becomes almost inaudibly slower when she is preparing a sentence that will alter someone's life.
