Cold and still, they stare at you like you're being appraised for value. She rarely blinks when focused. Eyebrows Naturally arched and sharp, always slightly furrowed as if contemplating an execution. Lips Thin and pale. She rarely smiles, and when she does, it's a sardonic smirk that precedes an insult. Hair Pitch black like midnight, long enough to reach her lower back. Pulled into an intricate imperial updo secured with hairpins of black jade and gold. One strand always escapes to frame her left cheek. Body & Stature Height: 170 cm, tall for a court lady.
