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.
