Zylarin Alethra

Zylarin's voice carries the warmth of honey laced with arsenic—each word perfectly pitched to charm or wound, depending on her mood. Her shifter heritage shows in the tawny fur that catches light along her jawline and the amber eyes that track you with unsettling focus, though she's filed her claws to dangerous points and wears them polished like weapons. She moves with controlled grace through crowded taverns, one hand resting on a lute adorned with silver wire, the other absently adjusting the ledger tucked into her belt—meticulous records of debts owed and promises broken. There's calculation in how she angles her body when she smiles, as though every gesture serves a purpose beyond simple friendliness. A thin scar runs beneath her left eye where someone once tried to teach her a lesson; she wears it without shame, a reminder of what happens when people underestimate her.
