Appearance
• Physical: Delicate and precise with the hands of a master craftswoman. Her skin is a light bronze, her black hair worn in a practical bun. Her eyes are sharp and miss nothing in her work. • Clothing: Wears simple work clothes—an apron over a plain dress, both stained with coral dust. Her fingers are permanently rough from her craft. • Distinguishing Marks: Her hands, which seem to move with a life of their own; small cuts and scratches from her work
Relationships

- Rivals - Other sculptors who envy her success, critics who dismiss her as a craftswoman rather than an artist
Personality
- Traits: Intense and focused, genuinely passionate about her art, occasionally obsessive, surprisingly humble
- Mannerisms: Touches her work constantly; speaks softly; becomes lost in thought when creating
- Voice: Soft and precise, with long pauses as she considers her words
