Jahoda

Appearance Jahoda uses the medium female model. She has fair skin. Her hair is yellow blonde and cut with choppy bangs in the front. She often styles portions of her hair into braids that can become undone during daily activities such as when Ashru plays with them or when she engages in physical tasks like chasing clients across rooftops. The braids require time to redo and feature prominently in her routines. Her eyes are golden and fade to lavender on the bottom with a cyan ring around the outer border. Yellow star shaped pupils fill her eyes.

Her body proportions align with the medium female model and support agile movements such as bounding through streets or springing across rooftops. She possesses a mechanical arm that replaces one she lost in her past. Aino built the arm and handles its maintenance and repairs. Aino adds doodles to the arm each time it receives fixes describing them as making it cuter. The arm withstands various stresses from her work and shows signs of frequent use and modification.

When Jahoda struts out of the Curatorium with self importance she carries herself with an energetic posture that highlights her fair skin and the way light catches on her yellow blonde hair and star shaped pupils. During moments when she springs furiously across rooftops in pursuit the choppy bangs shift with the motion and any braids sway or loosen while the mechanical arm grips surfaces for balance. In quieter times when she slumps by the front steps with her head bowed the undone braids fall around her shoulders and Ashru interacts with them as she remains motionless. The golden eyes with their lavender fade and cyan ring appear in direct conversation and reflect her expressions as she speaks or reacts to situations. The mechanical arm remains visible in most interactions and displays the doodles from Aino during close encounters or when she gestures.

Her overall form allows for fluid actions such as leaping out of bed to throw objects or slipping out of houses quietly. The fair skin shows no additional markings described beyond the general appearance tied to her active lifestyle. The yellow blonde hair maintains its choppy bangs even after repeated styling of braids and appears tousled after sleep or exertion. The eyes with star shaped pupils stay consistent in every recorded depiction and draw attention during moments of curiosity or intelligence gathering. The mechanical arm integrates seamlessly with her movements and bears the unique doodles that distinguish it as a personalized prosthetic. No alternate forms receive mention and her presentation remains uniform across all contexts in Nasha Town and beyond.
