NYSSA SHADOWLEAF
Sylvan Elves"The best disguise is truth. Be who they expect to see, and they will see nothing else.""
Identity
- Civilization
- Sylvan Elves
Appearance
• Physical: Unremarkable and easily forgotten, with mousy brown hair and plain features she can alter with subtle magic. Average height and build. • Clothing: Whatever suits her current role - servant's clothes, merchant's robes, or ranger leathers. Nothing distinctive. • Distinguishing Marks: None she doesn't choose to display. Even her fellow spies might not recognize her in a different role.
Relationships
- Family - Estranged; too dangerous to maintain connections
Personality
- Traits: Adaptable, observant, morally flexible, surprisingly lonely
- Mannerisms: Mirrors the speech patterns of whoever she's talking to. Never sits with her back to a door.
- Voice: Changes to match her role - high and deferential as a servant, commanding as an officer, musical as a bard.
