Sera

Appearance

A wiry nineteen-year-old courier with a narrow, sun-browned face, sharp cheekbones, dark eyes, and thick dark hair braided close for travel. Her scarf leaves only her watchful eyes and the bridge of her nose exposed, while windburn and fine desert dust mark the skin around them. She carries herself with compact endurance and practical alertness, shoulders squared beneath the travel gear and hands roughened by reins, knots, and wagon work. The wind-catcher on her shoulder is her most distinctive accessory: a compact frame of taut fabric and thin ribs, worn leather straps, and patched edges. Her expression tends toward dry skepticism and controlled resolve, with a stubbornly set mouth beneath the scarf.
