  Full thick dark straight hair is often pulled up or tied in a simple braid to keep the strands away from her face. In the right light, a mellow crimson shines under the dark brown, almost black, strands. Dark eyes hide behind simple metal eyeglasses. She appears young, but the signs of her age are starting to make its mark. Soft skin is lightly scratched by time and the sun. Her wry smile keeps her looking young, though there are joyful wrinkles creasing the corners of her eyes. There is a sharpness in her expression that can only come with age.
  
  She does not wear much in jewelry, save for the gold band with a solitary embedded gem that hangs from a silver chain. Her clothes are simple, a linen dress of her chosen colour with a swooping neckline. The sleeves are tight around her arms or pulled to the elbows. It is clear she enjoys efficiency and simplicity.

• Personality and Mannerisms

  Known as "Mae" to her family and friends, Maëyls is known for her keen attention to detail, being highly intuitive, and meticulous in her trade. She is described as quick-witted with a sharp tongue and a crude sense of humour. Willful, stubborn, and fiercely independent, she is prone to making snap remarks when irritated or angry. Professionally, she is adventurous and daring in her methods and confident in her approach. She has no patience for stupidity and has no qualms with speaking her mind.
  
  Be weary should you truly cross her. For while her bark is certainly worse than her bite, her words can cut deep and shred like a blunt blade against the flesh.
