She appears to be an Elf.
She is petite and appears to have come of age. She has large, owlish gentian blue eyes and pale as parchment skin. She has long, lustrous silver hair that trails past her waist in a riot of gently coiled mercurial curls. She has a heart-shaped face and a pair of half-lensed spectacles perched upon her small nose. Her small, yet distinctively sloping nose is perfectly offset by the bowed curve of her upper lip, while her slender neck and delicate bone structure enhance her fragile appearance. She has pearlescent lavender enamel brushed onto her oval fingernails.
She has a pair of crimson-tipped white feathered wings on her back.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a frail dark purple nightshade tucked behind one ear, an orb-inset fel talisman, a pale mistwood tome periapt, a deeply hooded grey silk satin dolman, a gold-framed House Illistim crest, a circular enruned rolaren charm, some cowled lavender grey moire robes beaded with clusters of pearl tuberoses, a silver-bound glass feather ring, and some narrow dark grey kidskin poulaines with feathery piercework.
You have slightly absinthian notes of lavender haunting your skin and hair, which dissolve into lemon-hazed chords of faintly terpene vervain sweetened by an infusion of lush orange blossom.
A few new things, plus her title. The rest has been seen before. The periapt is her custom familiar item, the charm is a permanent Chronomage pass, and the ring is an altered lightning ring.
Periapt: Strung on a fine golden chain, the intricate details of an opened scholarly tome are brought to life in a precious carving of pale golden mistwood. Embossed on the tiny cover, an owl's proud profile glares sternly out at the world from a stylized onyx-pupiled eye. Upon the tome's opened pages, an engraved scripture is writ in flowing Elven hand.
There appears to be something written on it.
In the Elven language, it reads:
The eyes are the gateways to knowledge. But only through knowledge can one truly see.
Ring: A series of overlapping feathers form the body of the ring, each one bound by filigree-like filaments of silver and platinum. The delicate pinions have been inset with shards of stained glass, the colors fading from vivid cobalts and emeralds to more muted shades of charcoal and aubergine, yet all highlighted by the pale metals framing each piece.
