First Impression

She walks into a room and the temperature rises, not because she means it to, but because five centuries of fire magick leave marks that soap and good intentions cannot wash away. There is an intelligence behind her golden eyes that has already taken you apart and decided whether you are worth reassembling, and her silence, when it comes, is more dangerous than her flames.

Appearance

Minerva presents a striking and deliberate figure, a masterwork of her own magical artistry. Her skin is unnaturally pale, like polished alabaster, set off against fiery crimson-red hair worn long and untamed, often seeming to smolder with its own inner light. Her face is defined by high cheekbones, sharp intelligent eyes the color of molten gold, and dark pouty lips perpetually stained a deep shade of plum. She is outrageously curvaceous, her proportions magically sculpted as an expression of power and confidence. She is almost always seen in flowing black robes and a deep hooded cloak that obscures her form in shadow, making the rare glimpses of her pale skin and vibrant hair all the more dramatic.
