Vashet

• Major
• First seen · Book 2 · Ch. 111

Vashet is an attractive woman in her thirties with pale creamy skin and sandy hair drawn back into a horsetail or occasionally short braids that frame her face. Her pale grey eyes can shift from hard as ice to warm with laughter, set within an otherwise delicate face distinguished by a nose that was broken in the past, leaving a slight but noticeable crimp. She has a lean, hard-muscled build that remains pleasingly soft and curvaceous, standing at the same height as a young man of average male stature, and she bears a few thin pale scars on one shoulder from sword training. She dresses in the signature mercenary reds of the Adem, the shirt and pants bound snugly to her body with blood-red silk bands instead of leather, and she carries her sword slung easily over one shoulder while projecting an aura of quiet, solid confidence.
