Character Description -
A rather plain faced woman, with a soft chin, and less than inspiring features, Calandrin Ibanaad is nonetheless a woman who commands attention. Her eyes are large and expressive, and flank a rather unexceptional nose, below which is a small, perpetually pursed, mouth. Her features would not receive a second glance but for the smooth cheeked, ageless quality that makes putting an age to her nigh impossible, for she seems both youthful, yet with knowing, wise eyes, the timeless face of an Aes Sedai. Calandrin's dark brown hair is pent up in a myriad of narrow braids, twisted and looped into a coronet of coiled tresses, with the long ends tipped in beads of amber, and spilling midway down her back, which click as she moves her head and shoulders.
Calandrin wears a dress of cream-coloured silk, thin and finely tailored in the clinging Tarabonner style, with detailed embroidery in glittering black thread and bits of jet working a bordered band of scrolling peonies and leaves down her bodice, and along the hems. The skirts are divided, revealing a chemise of saffron silk, and the sleeves are puffed and slashed at the shoulder, with the saffron silk pulled through. Heeled slippers of matching cream silk, sewn with jet in a rayonne pattern peek from beneath her skirts when she moves. She wears a necklace of fat golden-hued pearls, with small chains of matching pearls at her ears, and the golden ring fashioned into the Great Serpent adorns her finger.
