Morning routine

High shade of the cloakroom. Census. Then the quiet carriage if she can get it.

Appearance

Black hair with a crimson streak, pale skin, dark eyes. Black coat, black gloves, an hourglass pin. Two spider limbs kept close over the shoulders until height or a line is required. Dry-town calm in a school corridor. The canines match her mother’s in kind, not yet in practice — slightly sharp, mouth closes normal, no advertisement in a Class B corridor.

Personality

Quiet, confident. Looks first. Moves second. A small weight that doesn’t panic the web. Not shy — certain. Comes down when the kettle is honest. Gerrido in the posture, Rosehaven in the timetable.

Powers

A smaller thread. Height when needed. The census of a cloakroom. The glands are there. She can learn the mix — venom, medicine, quiet sleep, the other blend — but she does not pour at school. Looks first. Mixes second, and only when Isa has said the count is good.

Interests & role

High shade of the cloakroom, the quiet carriage, an honest kettle, whether the corridor is sitting right on its threads.

Notes

36th girl. Class B. Daughter of Isa. Not Court. Dry-Town Academy is a phrase on a poster, not a second school — the calm is Gerrido’s; the bell is Rosehaven’s. Rosehaven does not need to know about the glands. The cloakroom census does not include it. Home and Gerrido do. I look first. Then the desert answers. Isa’s web does not panic when she lands. Tess may count the weight on a rim and write nothing down. Loza remains a rumour.

I have them. I am not using them in a timetable.
