Vala Drakesbane is a human woman with dark slightly curly hair, brown eyes and a fair complexion. She stands five foot seven inches tall and is in good shape, her movements naturally quick and agile. Habitually she wears armour, a blue cloak and carries a hand a half sword (bastard sword), along with a short sword at her belt. Vala is a good looking woman even if she is not traditionally feminine and she knows attracts attention. Her default expression is a confident smile or smirk and there is a spark to her eyes that suggests a wry if cynical sense of humor.
