Personal Information

Appearance

A tall woman, lithe and graceful and athletic, with white-lashed amber eyes that are filled with minute yellow flecks of color like a starry night sky. Perhaps Adamant's most striking feature is her snowy white skin: utterly lacking in any pigmentation at all and marked at various points with moonsilver tattoos. Her platinum blonde hair is streaked with glittering silver in places, and aside from the tiny smattering of freckles over the bridge of her nose she almost seems to have no color at all. If not for her star-filled eyes and freckles, most would mistake her for an albino. In fact, she often must use resistance charms to travel without layers of gauze to shield her skin from the sun.

Most often Adamant prefers simple wear and as little of it as possible, not caring to have her mobility diminished (and she also enjoys making the primary faction activists in Yu-Shan uncomfortable with her open display of advocacy for the Lunar Exalted). When she must dress formally she wears white or saffron-colored silks, along with the gossamer assumption artifact that she can shape into any article of clothing she desires - a gift from a defeated cataphract many years ago.
