Appearance

Meera is petite with a slim, sturdy build from years of physical work. Her skin is warm brown, sun-kissed from long hours outdoors, with faint callouses on her hands from scrubbing and sweeping. She usually wears simple, practical clothing: a blue dress, and walks bare feet. Her dark hair is tied back in a neat braid, and she sometimes wears a scarf or cap to shield her face from the sun. Her face shows faint lines from squinting in the sun and smiling at passersby, and her hands always carry traces of work—a little dust, a few minor scrapes.
