For someone keeping such extraordinary company Synne can’t help but feel just a little out of place. She’s neither scarred and grizzled nor weighed down with the trappings of wealth and office, and while a careful eye might recognise a body shaped by military service she’s hardly tall or broad enough to stand out in a crowd. When out of dress uniform and away from the captain’s entourage she could easily be just another pilot – and that’s the way she likes it. She might have the skill and pedigree to fly a Trader but she’ll never feel comfortable dressing the part. Not after her private piece of hell back on Sinophia and all it took to break free from those gilded chains.

The lines of her face are sharp in a way that feels more gaunt than flattering, her lips thin, and her nose marred by the faint signs of a break that never quite set right. Synne’s sharp eyes are a cool grey-blue, and her hair (often thrown back in a messy ponytail) a dark brown that’s not without its own thin streaks of grey. More often than not though what people notice first about her is her smile and bearing. When not forced rigid by decorum and unwelcome attention Synne is unmistakably, warm, open and alive. She reads like someone genuinely glad to be who and where she is, and that goes double for when she’s in the pilot’s seat. She lives to plug in and soar the skies.

Outside of official business her wardrobe could be generously described as 'practical'. While she certainly has her finely pressed uniforms and all the Navy standards, Synne has used her status more to go sideways than upwards. She likes leather jackets, long coats and clothing chosen because it’s warm and comfortable rather than set to make a statement - and often because such choices make it easier to avoid notice and conceal weapons. Certainly the quality of materials and tailoring has gone up but there’s still something of a rough edge there. Wearing money and screaming status isn’t her thing.

She arms herself with a well-maintained factory-issue bolt pistol and a power sword with an intricate hilt and precious little sign of ever seeing use.
