Luminous Despair (alias Sofia Dimas) is certainly a beauty, all soft curves and honey-coloured skin. Her hair cascades over her shoulders in thick ebony locks. She's on the small side, although perhaps lithe would be a better term: she seems to be one of those women who are perfectly comfortable with the space they take up in the world. There's a classic, timeless look about her and it's hard to guess her age. Most people would settle for 25-ish.
Her eyes are brown and have a certain softness to them. She's very expressive, emotions flashing easily across her features. Teasing out a smile is easy enough, although her impish grins often spell trouble.

From the look of her it's clear that she's from the south of Europe and her accent confirms this: words come tumbling out in a vaguely musical cadence. Her voice has a soothing quality to it - slightly husky and full of warmth.

Luminous dresses simply, usually in well-tailored dresses that accentuate her form. She usually wears some slightly gaudy golden jewelry. Somehow, this suits her.

Her true shape is similar to her human form for as far as people can tell. There are some visible differences, though. Her eyes are a rusted copper with a black pupil and a glow seems to wrap itself around her. Upon closer inspection, this appears to be light reflecting on delicate scales that grow on her skin in patches.
