Backstory
Brynna was born blind but gained her sight at age 20 when her father sacrificed a family heirloom gem to a traveling healer. She believes the gem's essence lives in her eyes now, and she can "see" the soul of every stone she touches.

Works in her workshop from dawn to dusk, examining rough gems, planning cuts, and executing them with surgical precision. Takes tea with clients in her showroom, where she tells the story of each piece. Evenings are for studying ancient dwarven cutting techniques.
