Of average height with a slender build suited to her role as a healer, she carries herself with crisp efficiency in the University setting, her sharp attentive features reflecting dedication and competence as she tends to the injured with focused precision. Short blond hair frames a young adult face with vivid green eyes and a serious, often grim expression. Her slender build is clad in a dark physicker’s uniform, practical and unadorned. She carries herself with resolute poise, whether seated by a campfire or stepping from the trees.
