PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Murn keeps the liftwell sequence at Cloudrest Assembly, comparing arrival slates, recording missed cabins and reordering boarding tokens when weather interrupts the timetable. The small clerk studies each discrepancy with grave concentration and checks the knot at its waist while thinking. Being short does not prevent Murn from noticing when an entire queue has been filed under yesterday.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation
- Silhouette
- Top-heavy and stump-solid: a massive rounded head over a narrow neck, wrapped torso, stubby side projections, and oversized split, rootlike feet.
- Scale
- Reads as short and compact, with the head taking up an unusually large share of the total height. The feet are exaggerated for stability, while the arms are reduced to sharp side accents rather than reaching limbs.
- Material
- Semi-translucent cool skin over the crown ridges with faint vascular shadowing, fading to more opaque pebbled hide on the body; wrap in muted grey-green cloth and rope in softened bark fiber.
- Colour
- #B8A7C9, #7E6A8F, #DCCFE6, #5A6B5F, #1F1E24
OCCUPATION & CHARACTER
Liftwell sequence clerk
It looks blunt and unyielding, yet much of that severity comes from vulnerability and the strain of constant internal growth.
