Yis is hard to mistake: yellow eyes and close-cropped golden hair catch the light with an almost metallic gleam. Beneath his cap, he has the practical air of a craftsman accustomed to keeping his hands busy.

Yis appears briefly as an Iriali leatherworker, distinguished by vivid yellow eyes and short golden hair with a metallic sheen. His craft and cap give him the grounded, everyday presence of a working artisan, while his unusual coloring makes the encounter linger in memory. The text offers no further account of his story.
Description
Yis is a male Iriali with short, stark golden hair that catches the light with a metallic sheen. His yellow eyes are his most striking feature, set beneath a cap he wears while working as a leatherworker. His build and facial structure are not specified, and his practical, craft-oriented appearance is otherwise understated.
