Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Ellara, a composed, perceptive rune-keeper and mother in her late thirties. Oval face with high cheekbones, fair skin, attentive grey-green eyes, faint worry lines, calm determined mouth. Long dark-auburn hair streaked with early silver, half-braided back with a thin leather cord, loose strands framing her face. Slender upright build. She wears a floor-length woollen gown in deep slate-blue over a cream linen underdress, a dark fitted bodice laced with cord, a wide belt hung with a small salt pouch and a rolled ancient scroll, and a silver rune-pendant at her throat. A dark shawl drapes one shoulder; soft worn leather lace-up boots. She stands alert in a dim stone-walled family room, one hand raised protectively, candlelight behind her.
