Tessaran 'Tess' Brightwind
Bard (College of Lore)
Tessaran 'Tess' Brightwind
Species
Halfling (Stout)
Appearance
Tessaran is small even for a halfling, but his presence is heavy, like the smell of ozone before a storm. He has weathered, bronze-toned skin that is map-etched with fine wrinkles around his eyes. His most striking feature is his silver-blonde hair, which he wears in a long, singular braid threaded with thin copper wires that catch the light like dying embers. Despite his profession as a bard, he possesses the rough, calloused hands of a stonemason. He moves with a deliberate, rhythmic precision, his feet hitting the floor in time with an internal beat. Most unexpectedly, his eyes are a deep, crystalline amber that seem to glow faintly when he sings of the deep earth.
“His voice is a surprisingly deep baritone for his size. He speaks in a measured, rhythmic cadence, almost as if he is reciting a poem even in casual conversation.”

Clothing
He wears a travel-stained charcoal doublet over a fine silk shirt that has seen better days. His trousers are tucked into heavy, soot-stained leather boots. A cloak of deep forest green is pinned at his shoulder by a brooch shaped like a cracked anvil.
Body Language
Tessaran stands with a wide, stable stance as if expecting an earthquake at any moment. He keeps his chin tilted down, looking up through his brows. He often taps a four-beat rhythm on his thigh with his missing-fingered hand.
