Syaven has pale skin, and rainy blue eyes but their colour is faint and only grey from a distance. Her hair is a dark blonde, but warmer and more red in the sun.

Many of her clothes are in muted earthy shades, but lately she seems to wear more black. She has a chained belt of silver, and a soft choker with a red pendant that circles her throat.

She does not stand very tall, and gestures too often with her hands when she speaks. As one with high spirits but troubled sleep, her smile is bright but a dark weariness has sunken into her eyes.

She is very fond of mead and roast boar. She laughs more than she speaks, and loves to sing as she works.
