Virginia au Augustus
MajorA petite young woman with fair skin who barely reaches the shoulder of a tall man, Mustang possesses a delicate and graceful build that lends her a fragile appearance at times. Long golden hair sparkles in light and is usually worn in braids flowing down her back or coiled about her shoulders with leather bands, framing a heart-shaped face with quick features, a pert nose, and a mouth swift to form smirking smiles, pleasant frowns, or expressions of terror and regret. Her golden eyes sparkle with fox-like cunning and intelligence, often dancing or imploring, while she wears a wolfcloak streaked with crimson over a black tunic and muddy boots with spurs, carrying herself with graceful confidence even when limping or muddied.

Physical Description
A petite young woman with fair skin who barely reaches the shoulder of a tall man, Mustang possesses a delicate and graceful build that lends her a fragile appearance at times. Long golden hair sparkles in light and is usually worn in braids flowing down her back or coiled about her shoulders with leather bands, framing a heart-shaped face with quick features, a pert nose, and a mouth swift to form smirking smiles, pleasant frowns, or expressions of terror and regret. Her golden eyes sparkle with fox-like cunning and intelligence, often dancing or imploring, while she wears a wolfcloak streaked with crimson over a black tunic and muddy boots with spurs, carrying herself with graceful confidence even when limping or muddied. A slender young Gold woman with blonde hair that falls loose or is pulled back from her face, bright eyes that glow like an owl's or cut through with judgment, and an expressive face that shifts from a lopsided grin to a mask of disappointment or rage. Her lithe athletic build is barely half the weight of her companions, with smooth hot marble skin warmed by the sun and muscles that coil with movement as she arches or holds others gently. She wears military uniforms in gold and white or black with polished boots, or a black kimono, projecting defiant elegance and strategic command whether at a gala, in a war room, or beside her lover by the sea. An elegant Gold woman around 25 with striking red hair flowing freely, framing sharp, intelligent features and piercing eyes. Her athletic yet graceful build is clad in form-fitting battle armor bearing a bold red lion emblem on the chest, suited for starship command. Whether on her bridge or in tense holo displays, she radiates resolute authority, every gesture precise and commanding. Virginia au Augustus is a tall, commanding woman with fair skin and long golden hair bound tightly behind her head in a ponytail or golden braids with occasional loose strands. Her face is elegantly structured with a small nose, piercing liquid gold eyes framed by thick eyelashes, and a mouth that curves into a mischievous cat's smile, though it can harden with resolve or show fatigue through bloodshot tones and heavy bags. She has a slender graceful build with proud shoulders, slender fingers, and moves with magnetic power whether dressed in a pure white tunic, purple silk jacket open at the neck, or appearing barefoot, always wearing her gold lion and iron wolf rings as the only accents to her minimalist regal style. A tall, powerfully built Gold woman with a dense bone structure that makes her far heavier and stronger than her slender appearance on holos would suggest. Her fair skin is heavily marked by battle scars including prominent divots on her stomach and neck from hatchet wounds and hundreds of small puncture scars across her flanks, arms, neck, and legs from a savage mob attack. She has lustrous golden hair worn at a practical length, striking golden eyes full of intelligence and resolve, and is typically seen in a dark jacket and tunic over a compression bra with sturdy boots, gravBoots, and armor while carrying a white box and concealed razor. A commanding woman in ornate battle armor draped with a red and gold cloak, her head crowned by a glowing prism that displays battlefield data. Her face shows the haggard lines of prolonged strain and sleepless nights, framed by hair she absently runs her fingers through. She moves with practiced authority, magnetic boots clomping as she coordinates retreats and parleys.
