Appearance

Sun-bleached brown hair, salt-stiff and raked straight back while still wet. Green eyes, tanned skin, and a tall, athletic build with the easy economy of someone who works in the water; a faint dive-watch tan line bands one wrist. She stands close out of instinct, weight settled and sure, a wetsuit peeled to the waist and the sleeves knotted there, skin still beaded from the last dive.
