Species

Appearance
Isolde moves like a lit coal wrapped in funeral silk, quiet until she wants to be noticed. Her skin has the pale, heat-kissed tone of old parchment held too near a brazier, and her messy black hair never quite settles, as if it remembers every blast of furnace wind her body has survived. Her green eyes are strikingly cool and watchful, the unsettling color of moss growing over grave stones, and they seem to measure the temperature of a room before her gaze measures its people. She is lean rather than broad, with corded forearms and the hard, economical grace of a trained striker. Her robes are sturdy woven asbestos and silk dyed charcoal black, but the hems are embroidered with hidden threads of copper and red that glint only when she turns. The contradiction that people remember is that she carries herself with a chivalrous poise, almost courtly, while the air around her smells faintly of singed incense and old smoke.
“Formal, deliberate, and edged with ceremonial certainty. She often speaks of vows, cinders, inheritance, and correction.”
Alignment
Distinguishing Features
A jagged burn-scar that runs from her right collarbone to her wrist, shaped like a flame licking upward.
Ash permanently trapped in the folds of her hair, no matter how often it is washed.
A brass prayer ring fused slightly to one finger from a ritual gone wrong.
Green eyes with faint gold flecks that intensify near open fire.
Her robes are fireproof, but the cuffs are always warm to the touch.
Voice
“Low, measured, and unexpectedly gentle on certain names, as if she is always one step away from prayer.”
Clothing
Charcoal-black robes of woven asbestos and silk, ash-gray wraps on the forearms, a copper-thread sash, and soot-dark prayer cords knotted with tiny brass seals.
Body Language
Still and upright when speaking, with hands folded like a temple judge. When combat begins, her shoulders loosen and her footwork becomes springy and exact, as if she is listening to music no one else can hear.
