“Why would you follow me into the water if you can’t swim?”

“You were eight seconds away from getting eaten by that thing!”

“Make faces all you want, I’m not leaving until I’m ready.”

“You’d think a master of disguise would be able to hide better.”

“We can’t all be powerful mages, okay? Let me stick to my trash magic.”

“See, this is why I’m worried about you all the time.”

[mouth]

(( Adri tries pretty hard not to show what she’s thinking or feeling, and usually succeeds. So, except when she lets her guard down, her mouth is closed, lips together but not pressed tight. They are usually a little bit chapped, since when she isn’t so controlled she has a bad habit of chewing on them.

(( When she smiles, it depends on why, and the company she’s with. It’s usually enough to show a little bit of her teeth, which are nice enough (quite nice for how she grew up, really), but a big, toothy smile is reserved for really nice surprises, or for the people she’s most comfortable with and trusts the most.

(( Whether she still has all of her teeth is tricky to tell, but certainly she does for the ones that show. It’s only some molars she might be missing. And some few people would know for sure, but not many.

(( I’ve never been much of one for doing “face claims”, in part because Adri didn’t start from anyone else’s appearance, and nobody looks enough like her – but Barbara Palvin has been suggested as one, and is pretty close for the nose and mouth, anyway, and not too far off for the eyes, so bonus pictures. ))

[hands]

(( Adri’s hands fit her overall slight build, though they have enough musculature that they would not get described as ‘bony’. Her fingers are on the long side, which helps in many of the things she does that require fine manipulation. For any occasion which warrants armour, she wears at least some sort of gloves, but when her hands are exposed, it’s clear that her nails are kept neatly trimmed and rather short, and that she doesn’t bother with polish or lacquer. At present, she has no scars or significant callouses, though she’s starting to develop some again from her work with tools and weapons practice. ))

[eyes]

(( Adri’s eyes are the blue of deep glacial ice, and a little on large side. That size, along with how small she otherwise is, frequently gets her judged as being even younger than she is. Of late she’s been starting to show the bags underneath of sleep deprivation, though she makes some attempt to cover it with cosmetics. She otherwise tends not to bother with such, though, so she’s not very good at that attempt to conceal them. Their shape is otherwise unexceptional on a face like hers – which is to say, they’re what one would expect on an Ascalonian.

(( Fortunately for appearing to have such normal features at all, her brows and lashes are darker than the rest of her hair. Her lashes are a little longer and thicker than average, though unremarkable without cosmetic aid. Her brows are a bit heavier than is fashionable, though not too remarkable. She can, and often does, raise either independently of the other.

(( She usually tries not to show much reaction to things around her, even in the eyes. On the other hand, some occasional narrowing or widening is involuntary, and she seldom just watches one thing or person. Her gaze usually flicks about, keeping watch, and trying not to miss any possible threats. Unlike most people, she even looks upward often. ))
