Blind is a white-furred Hound, wide and heavy in build, distinguished by eyes that are white and without pupils. She is identified as Baran’s mate and Gear’s mother, and is seen sitting before Quick Ben with a composed, formidable presence. Her brief appearance is defined by her unusual gaze and the weight of her physical presence.
Description
Blind is a wide, heavy Hound covered in thick white fur. Her most striking feature is her pair of white eyes, lacking visible pupils and giving her gaze an uncanny blankness. Her build is powerful and solid, with a still, imposing presence. No additional markings, ornaments, or clothing are described.
