Character:Clavis Morden

Clavis Morden
Standing no more than 1.55m tall, of slender build and looking much younger than her 29 years by solar reckoning Clavis Morden isn't the most impressive figure in a physical way. Perpetually tousled curly blonde hair and blue eyes shining with curiosity complete the impression of callow youth. Few who do not know her would consider her someone to take seriously or even a threat if not for the formal black robes with the insignia of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, the ominous gravitas of which makes most people reconsider that first impression. But even without that chilling reminder the wise man would be less hasty to dismiss Clavis. Behind those blue eyes a sharp intellect is at work and although inexperienced she has been trained by one of the best. For her part Clavis often enjoys the completely different misperceptions brought on by no more than her choice of clothes.

Well maintained with proper care and respect it looks like it will serve well for many years still. Its machine spirit is loyal and experienced, but it takes a few seconds to awake with a high-pitched whine after the safety is thumbed off.
