Matrëna has the arresting beauty of someone who seems to catch every glint of light: pale face, black eyes glittering beneath curls of blue-black hair. A red shawl and a guarded, quick-footed air make her seem both vivid and difficult to read.

Matrëna begins as a striking young Romani woman in a red shawl, carrying a sable mantle and fearful of the authority over her. Her regret over the cloak makes her vulnerability unmistakable, even amid her vivid composure. Later, as a lady’s maid, she takes on the chief gendarme’s duty for the countess, revealing a more active and capable presence within the household.
Description
Matrëna is slim and handsome, with a pale face framed by thick, curly blue-black hair. Her glittering black eyes give her expression an alert, almost luminous intensity. She is seen in a red shawl, with a sable mantle among the garments she handles, and carries herself with the restrained quickness of someone accustomed to watching those around her.
