• Age: 15
  
  

• Appearance: Wiry build, matted black hair tied with red thread, sharp eyes that miss nothing. Wears a patchwork cloak made of stitched-together scraps.
  
  

• Personality: Clever, unflinching, with a natural authority. Speaks like someone twice her age. She maintains control through a combination of loyalty, favors, and fear.
