- Major
- First seen · Book 2 · Ch. 24
A beautiful older woman with fair skin, a slender willowy build, and strong shoulders made for comforting hugs and maternal strength. Her long silky chocolate-brown hair drapes past her shoulders, sometimes neatly braided in a thick plait and other times unbound and loose after being roused. Expressive rich forest green eyes dominate her refined face, shifting from narrowed suspicion to wide panic or softened care beneath perfectly arched brows, all framed by impeccable posture with a straight spine, pinned shoulders, and lifted chin as she glides gracefully in elegant swishing skirts or warm layered coats.
