Vin

Description

A scrawny, small teenage girl with a youthful face and short, ragged hair cut like a boy’s. In her earliest appearance she wears a simple white buttoned shirt and overalls; she has bruises from beatings and a bloodied lip. A petite young woman barely five feet tall with pale skin, dark hair showing slight natural curls, and a slight thin build that appears almost frail yet moves with lithe supple grace and unconscious elegance when burning pewter. Her face bears a small scar on one cheek from prior Mistborn combat with a matching fresh cut added during this story, and she wears a single simple bronze earring as her only jewelry and memento of her mother. She is most often clad in black trousers and a man's buttoned shirt with a tasseled mistcloak swirling about her, almost always barefoot so her tin-enhanced feet can feel the ground, projecting a quiet stealthy presence that can explode into lethal agility at any moment. A slight young woman barely over five feet tall, with pure black hair reaching her collarbone, usually pulled back in a tail. She wears a tasseled mist-cloak over a shirt and trousers; a simple earring is a recurring personal accessory. No detailed physical description of Vin is provided in these references. She is identified as a woman, but her height, build, skin tone, hair, eyes, facial features, and clothing are unspecified. Any visual depiction should leave those details open rather than treating legend as evidence of appearance.
