• Body

  The Fey-folk possess an otherworldly beauty and grace about them. While they are indeed beautiful to behold, their appearance is also unnatural or ethereal. Taernichanthach possesses a mane of snow-white hair that descends to between her shoulderblades, though it is oft-kept in a braid. Her cat-pupiled eyes seem just a hair too large to be Human; and their colors shift and change, ranging from the blues of oceans and skies to the green of healthy grass, or perhaps even to the orange-red of dancing fires. Sprouting from her forehead are a pair of small antlers-- like that of a deer-- that wrap themselves around her head like a kind of crown; they do not seem to grow out very far. Despite her face being mostly Human in appearance, Tay’s appearance and movement have a strange resemblance to that of a deer. Beneath her clothing, however, is a myriad of smooth, scrolling scars that appear to have been drawn with the care and attention-to-detail of a master sculptor.

• Equipment

  Her pale, lithe form is often wreathed in a suit of armor (http://i.imgur.com/lK0ij1W.png), formed from furs, leather, soft cloth, and Fey-forged steel. Even the surcoat, which outwardly appears to be made of cloth, is made from Fey-forged chainmail sandwiched and sewn between two layers of cloth. The enchanted Faerie-metal forged by the immortal hands of the Tuath Dé provides protection from harm both physical and magical while also being light enough to feel like a simple shirt or garment. Coupled with the armor, her longsword (http://i.imgur.com/8c4F8OD.jpg) is always within reach if she can help it. The blade holds a razor’s edge, and is forged from the same batch of Faerie-metal as her armor.
