Mairash is a slim young half-orc woman with a narrow human-like face, a soft rounded chin, and two small ivory tusks that rise just past her lower lip. Her skin has the muted green-brown tone of olive bark after rain, with a fine velvety texture that makes her look almost delicate at a distance. Her black hair is worn in a long, tightly braided queue threaded with tiny brass beads, though loose wisps cling to her temples whenever she is anxious. She moves with careful, economical grace, never wasting a gesture, yet her shoulders subtly roll before she speaks as though preparing to carry a heavy pack. Her most contradictory feature is her smile: warm, dimpled, and almost girlish, despite the hard set of her jaw and the obvious strength in her hands. Within a minute of meeting her, people notice that she breathes through her nose in quiet, measured sibilant breaths, but when frightened those breaths become audible little hisses between her teeth.
