Appearance

Tall and graceful, she moves with an ease that suggests she is accustomed to being watched. She is amused by it. Her hair is pale gold, worn loose beneath a sheer veil that catches candlelight and moonlight alike.

Her mask is finely wrought gold filigree, elegant rather than imposing, designed to frame rather than conceal. Beneath it, her eyes are bright and lively - keen with curiosity, never distant, never dull.

She wears a midnight-blue masquerade gown embroidered with subtle gold patterns reminiscent of constellations without mimicking them directly. The dress is layered for movement rather than ceremony, flowing easily as she walks, turns, or pauses beside a stranger.

In one gloved hand, she carries a small astrolabe. Whether it is functional, symbolic, or simply an indulgence is left unanswered.



Presence

She does not linger where attention is demanded. She appears where conversation happens.

There is a quiet playfulness to her manner - an amused tilt of the head, a knowing smile that arrives a second after it should. She listens more than she speaks, and when she does speak, it is often with the precision of someone who enjoys language.

Snow never clings to her veil. Music always seems to follow her.



Personality

• Clever and observant
• Lightly mischievous
• Curious without prying
• Confident without dominance
• Engages easily, departs gracefully

She is neither soft nor cruel. She does not posture as dangerous, nor does she pretend innocence. She delights in people. She enjoys seeing how they reveal themselves in the choices they make when they believe they are unseen.

She asks questions others don’t think to ask. She notices answers people didn’t mean to give.



Masquerade Custom

During masked gatherings, the Veiled Astrologer offers a single-sentence observation to those who ask. This is not a prophecy or a warning, but a reflection.

Examples include:

“You are standing closer to a choice than you admit.”
“You wear confidence well. It may not be yours.”
“You are far more interesting when you stop performing.”


She never repeats herself.

The mask comes off when the night ends.

What remains is up to you.
