Xylanthia possesses a beauty that feels predatory. Her skin is the color of crushed lavender petals, providing a stark contrast to her eyes which burn like liquid amber. Her obsidian hair is her most striking feature; it does not settle, instead drifting and coiling around her shoulders like heavy silk smoke even in stagnant air. She moves with a liquid grace that suggests she is constantly dancing. Despite her sharp, intelligent gaze, she maintains an expression of wide-eyed, fragile innocence that disarms most observers. When she forgets herself, her shadow moves independently, often appearing to have large, leathery wings and curved horns that are otherwise magically tucked away into the Ethereal Plane.
