Dalen is a tall, long-limbed woman who
has become strong and well-muscled from her years of training in sword work. Her long, slightly wavy,
sable-brown hair is normally held back with a simple
beaded, leather thong. She has grey eyes which seem to quietly consider the
world, while her high cheekbones indicate something which most people mistake
for merriment. When out in the sun, her skin tans to a dusky hue, which reveals
a fine, thin scar across her left jawbone. While people set her age at around
20, as her face is smooth and unmarked by lines, her friends could tell you that
number is off the mark. While finery is appreciated for its virtues, her daily
lifestyle doesn't give Dalen much reason for dressing up and so she stays with a
tunic of cranberry-colored silk over a white blouse, and fawn leather breaches
tucked into calf-high boots. She seems to feel most comfortable with her
longsword at her side, though on occasions of ceremony she will leave it behind
-- those with a discerning eye will notice that she trades it in for an ornate
hair pin when needs must.
Not inconsiderable skill in Warfare. Shapeshifting. Zip-zip-zing. Some
degree of Advanced Pattern. Also the ability to conceal a sword in some manner that
we dread to think about and possibly Advanced Eye-batting.
