Height: 4’0” (tiny and delicate, yet nimble and wiry)

Hair: Short, silver hair with a slight shimmer; jagged, practical cut that barely brushes her neck, often frosted at the tips from cold

Eyes: Large, round, and wide, with a soft golden-brown hue that reflects fear, curiosity, and cautious hope

Skin: Pale green, slightly weathered from exposure to frost and cave environments, with a faint rosy undertone on cheeks from cold

Clothing:

Sleeveless dress made from scavenged fabrics, frayed at the edges but layered for warmth

Small, heavy fur cloak draped around shoulders for insulation

Sturdy leather boots, patched and worn from long treks
