A towering, imposing figure—not bulky, but densely muscled with the kind of physique that looks carved rather than grown. His orange skin is rough like volcanic stone, veins pulsing faintly with a smoldering ember-glow just beneath the surface. His white hair is long, wild, and constantly shifting as if blown by invisibly le winds or static tension, giving him an almost elemental presence. He wears the remnants of what might have once been civilian clothes—a ripped purple shirt, now barely hanging from his frame, and tattered brown pants, scorched and frayed at the edges. His teeth are sharp, feral, not quite human—meant for tearing, not speaking. His eyes are the most haunting part—burnt-white pupils set in faintly glowing sockets, like he’s seen too much and remembered none of it. There’s a predator’s focus behind his gaze, but also… a flicker of grief.

Build: Slender, almost delicate in frame, with long limbs and an academic’s grace. He’s never been physically imposing, but there’s a quiet resilience to him now—like someone who’s been broken, but got back up anyway. • Skin: Pale, almost porcelain, touched faintly by sun now that he travels. Bruises show easily. Veil exposure has added a subtle, silver-laced undertone to his skin around the collarbone and temples—not enough to draw alarm, but enough to make him seem… touched. • Hair: Silvery-blond, fine, and shoulder-length. Often tied back in a half-knot when casting or traveling. Strands escape frequently and frame his face, giving him a permanently wind-swept, distracted scholar look. • Eyes: Icy blue—intelligent, observant, and often reflective. Since Velrath, there’s a faint luminous shimmer in low light, like moonlight caught in glass. • Face: Sharp-boned and elegant, though thinner than his siblings. He has a soft mouth that rarely frowns fully—more often tightens in restraint. His expressions are subtle, but telling once you know him. • Hands: Ink-stained fingers and calloused from scrollwork, spellwork, and recently, weapon training. He fidgets with his sleeves when nervous. When focused, they are still and deadly precise. ⸻ Clothing & Gear • Clothing: A layered robe-and-coat ensemble, practical but refined. His robe is deep midnight blue, accented with fine silver embroidery—once too pristine, now worn in places. Over it, a traveler’s coat, lightly enchanted and weather-worn. • Accessories: • Pendant of Dreambinding—always visible at his throat

Create an photorealistic image of a friendly looking very old man. He has the ears of an elv and the beard and body of a dwarf. He has almost no hair on his head. He has gray hair. His beard is also gray and he has a braid in each side of it with a golden ring at the ends. The beard is kept in place with a golden ring at the bottom. He has a large round shield strapped on his back. He has blue pants with a wide leather belt. He has a leather harness. He has a green cloak. The inside of the cloak is completely covered in many irregular patches of different bright colors. At the side of his belt hangs a bearded axe, the handle is about 30 long. In a leather holster attached to his right upper thigh there is one lone arrow with red fins and a diamond arrowhead. He stands and rests his hands at the hilt of a sword in front of him. The tip of the sword is in the ground. There are runes written along the blade of the sword. A orb floats in the air above his left shoulder. The orb has a smooth surface of pure metal. The size is equal to a volleyball. At his feet rests the chest with legs from the book “the light fantastic” by Terry Prattchets. The background is a medieval battlefield after a battle. A dead dragon is laying on the ground.

A figure of stark contrasts, a 19-year-old with a lean, muscular physique and skin the color of winter snow stands defiantly. His hair, a cascade of pure white, frames a face that seems sculpted from moonlight, while a pair of intense crimson eyes, glinting with mischief, burn with an inner fire. Shirtless, he displays a body honed by discipline, every muscle a testament to his strength. Loose white pants, cinched at the waist by a vibrant red belt, drape over his lean hips, a stark counterpoint to his pale skin. A crimson necklace, bearing a pendant shaped like the letter "V," rests against his collarbone, a touch of defiant individuality. He carries a katana with effortless grace, its polished blade reflecting the sunlight like a sliver of ice. Leaning back, he throws his head back in laughter, a sound that is both carefree and predatory. His stance is that of a predator at rest, radiating an aura of effortless power, a being utterly unconcerned with the dangers that may lie ahead. Two crimson horns, tipped with obsidian, sprout from his head, adding an otherworldly touch to his already striking appearance.

Realistic looking: A figure of stark contrasts, a 19-year-old with a lean, muscular physique and skin the color of winter snow stands defiantly, bathed in an ethereal red glow that seems to emanate from within. His hair, a cascade of pure white like freshly fallen snow, frames a face that seems sculpted from moonlight, the sharp planes softened by a dusting of pale peach fuzz. A pair of intense crimson eyes, glinting with mischief, burn with an inner fire, their pupils dilated like those of a predator assessing its prey. Shirtless, he displays a body honed by discipline, every muscle a testament to his strength, rippling beneath his pale skin like waves in a stormy sea. Loose white pants, cinched at the waist by a vibrant red belt that matches the eerie glow around him, drape over his lean hips, a stark counterpoint to his pale skin. A crimson necklace, bearing a pendant shaped like the letter "V," rests against his collarbone, a touch of defiant individuality, pulsing faintly in time with his heartbeat.

**Character Appearance: Bev Thornsky** Bev Thornsky stands at an unassuming 3 feet tall, showcasing the traditional stature of a halfling. Despite her nearly 100 years, she carries herself with a sprightly confidence that belies her age. Her once golden blonde hair, now touched with soft streaks of silver, is gathered into two braided pigtails that bounce lightly down to her shoulders, giving her an impression of vibrancy like a youthful matron. Dotting her warm, weathered face are the traces of laughter lines around her bright, hazel eyes, which twinkle with both mischief and a maternal warmth. Her cheeks are slightly rounded, and often dusted with flour—a remnant of her baking hobby and a hint of the savory pastries she adores whipping up in her spacious but lonely kitchen. Bev's attire reflects her dual life as a loving mother and a cunning rogue. She wears a tailored, deep burgundy vest that fastens at her waist with silver clasps, adorned with intricate, embroidered floral patterns that speak to her affection for beauty. Beneath, she sports a flowing white blouse with puffed sleeves, the top button oftentimes undone for a casual, approachable look. Her trousers are practical yet surprisingly stylish—dark brown, fitted linen that allows for ease of movement as she darts around town on her clandestine deliveries. A well-worn but chic pair of black leather boots peep out from her hems, scuffed evidence of her adventurous nights and stealthy escapades. On her right wrist, she wears a charm bracelet nearly jingling with small tokens, including a miniature rolling pin, a captured feather from a recent endeavor, and a tiny, engraved heart—reminders of her family and every small heist that brings her a thrill. Nestled into her vest pocket is her lockpicking set, expertly crafted and a holdover from her heists. A small satchel often hangs at her side, with her beloved baker's tools, some treats for her sons, and a few less-than-legal contraband tucked carefully within—safe from prying eyes yet ready for business whenever the moment calls for it. The air around Bev often carries the rich scent of freshly baked goods mixed with a hint of mischief, embodying the duality of a nurturing mother and a shrewd rogue who knows how to attract attention for the right purposes... or slip silently away into the night.

Astrid Smith stands as a striking embodiment of both ambition and a hint of whimsicality, perfectly reflecting her origins and aspirations. As a half-elf in the prestigious halls of Arastril Academy, she seems to navigate the blend of her diverse heritage, showcasing a unique charm that piques both admiration and curiosity among her peers. Physical Features: - Skin: Astrid’s pale skin has a porcelain quality to it, almost glowing under the right light. Scattered freckles across her nose give her a youthful playfulness, betraying her demanding nature. - Hair: Her hair flows like water, in shades of teal, cascading in soft waves down to her shoulders, often tied haphazardly with a silver ribbon to keep it out of her way when deep in her studies. The teal hue evokes notions of enchantment and invites the passing whimsy of the fey world. - Eyes: Her large, vibrant green eyes shimmer with intellect and an innate curiosity. They’re often alight with determination, making it obvious that she’s capable of great things if she can just steer herself clear of distractions. - Ears: Characteristically pointed, her ears peek through her teal locks. They are adorned with tiny silver earrings shaped like miniature books, an homage to her fervent studies and love for knowledge. Astrid Smith's Outfit: 1. Robe of Scholar’s Elegance: Astrid wears a long, flowing robe in a stunning shade of deep teal that mirrors her hair, accented with intricate golden embroidery that resembles arcane runes. The fabric has a shimmer, giving it a slight ethereal quality, hinting at her fey-touched background. Inside the robe is lined with a soft silvery material that glows faintly at night. 2. Underlayer & Accessories: Beneath her robe, Astrid dons a fitted, high-collared blouse made of a lightweight ivory material, paired with tailored charcoal trousers that give her an air of sophistication, enhancing her practical and ambitious nature. Her sleeves are embellished with delicate lace at the cuffs. Around her neck, she wears a simple yet elegant pendant in the shape of a quill, symbolizing her bond with her wizardly quill and her love for studying. 3. Belt of Infinite Pockets: A slender, enchanted belt made of dark leather cinches her waist, adorned with small pouches that hold various spell components, parchment, and ink to accommodate her studious nature. Each pouch is closed with miniature gears and charms, reflecting the craftsmanship of her toymaker father. 4. Spell-bound Mantle: Over her shoulder, she wears a lightweight mantle that can transform invisibly, blending with her surroundings when she activates its magic. It is fastened with a silver brooch shaped like a miniature wizard, which houses a hidden compartment for her extra scrolls or her precious awakened spellbook when not in use. 5. Intricate Satchel: Astrid carries a well-crafted leather satchel embossed with scrolls and magical symbols, slung over her shoulder. The bag is a cherished heirloom from her mother, imbued with protective spells to guard its precious contents. 6. Footwear: Her feet are clad in knee-high black leather boots adorned with subtle patterns that enhance her agility. Each boot has a hidden pocket, perfect for storing small items she collects in her activism or studies. 7. Wand Holder & Quill Accessory: A small, elegant wand holder loops onto her belt, made of the same leather as her satchel, cradling her primary wand, which is crafted from a blend of ash and elderwood. Atop her ear sits the finely detailed clips she uses to secure her hair back, each adorned with tiny embellishments that flash in soft light, inspired by her aspirations and ambitions.

**Character Appearance: Bev Thornsky** Bev Thornsky stands at an unassuming 3 feet tall, showcasing the traditional stature of a halfling. Despite her nearly 100 years, she carries herself with a sprightly confidence that belies her age. Her once golden blonde hair, now touched with soft streaks of silver, is gathered into two braided pigtails that bounce lightly down to her shoulders, giving her an impression of vibrancy like a youthful matron. Dotting her warm, weathered face are the traces of laughter lines around her bright, hazel eyes, which twinkle with both mischief and a maternal warmth. Her cheeks are slightly rounded, and often dusted with flour—a remnant of her baking hobby and a hint of the savory pastries she adores whipping up in her spacious but lonely kitchen. Bev's attire reflects her dual life as a loving mother and a cunning rogue. She wears a tailored, deep burgundy vest that fastens at her waist with silver clasps, adorned with intricate, embroidered floral patterns that speak to her affection for beauty. Beneath, she sports a flowing white blouse with puffed sleeves, the top button oftentimes undone for a casual, approachable look. Her trousers are practical yet surprisingly stylish—dark brown, fitted linen that allows for ease of movement as she darts around town on her clandestine deliveries. A well-worn but chic pair of black leather boots peep out from her hems, scuffed evidence of her adventurous nights and stealthy escapades. On her right wrist, she wears a charm bracelet nearly jingling with small tokens, including a miniature rolling pin, a captured feather from a recent endeavor, and a tiny, engraved heart—reminders of her family and every small heist that brings her a thrill. Nestled into her vest pocket is her lockpicking set, expertly crafted and a holdover from her heists. A small satchel often hangs at her side, with her beloved baker's tools, some treats for her sons, and a few less-than-legal contraband tucked carefully within—safe from prying eyes yet ready for business whenever the moment calls for it. The air around Bev often carries the rich scent of freshly baked goods mixed with a hint of mischief, embodying the duality of a nurturing mother and a shrewd rogue who knows how to attract attention for the right purposes... or slip silently away into the night.

It fits snugly, enhancing her motherly figure while providing ample room for concealed pouches. The vest has matching red buttons made from polished wood that gleam against the fabric. 3. **Apron**: - A practical, apron-tied waist with pockets that she uses for baking; the pockets now also hide a few smaller, delicate smuggled items – a loaf of bread next to a wrapped piece of contraband. The apron has faded red and white checkered patterns, hinting at her culinary roots. 4. **Accessories**: - A light kerchief tied around her neck, pretty yet practical for wiping her hands or threats (it’s colorful patterned—the hallmark of a sly rogue). - Leather gloves that filter into a set of charms along the wrist, whispering tales of previous heists and escape routes from watchful eyes. 5. **Footwear**: - Sturdy, soft leather boots that reach mid-calf, perfect for padding along cobbled streets, with inner soles that muffle her steps. They are practical for running and durable for farming duties, so one never suspects her. 6. **Hat**: - A charming, wide-brimmed sun hat with decorative ribbons that match the colors of her vest. It not only offers protection from the sun while working outdoors but also gives her the ability to swoop it down and disguise herself when delivering goods. 7. **Jewelry**: - A simple but distinctive brooch shaped like a loaf of bread, a sweet nod to her baking hobby, nestled on her vest. - A few intricate rings, each representing a son’s birth month, evoking her love for her family. They perhaps hold subtle magical properties to assist her thieving endeavors, boosting her luck once a day. #### Overall Vibe: Bev’s attire should evoke a sense of charm, warmth, and mischief, showcasing her roots as a mother and baker while also allowing her the stealth and grace of a rogue. Her outfit represents her internal struggle—somewhat traditional yet outwardly rebellious—celebrating her smuggler lifestyle balanced with nostalgic loyalty to her past as a homely, law-abiding farmer’s wife.
