Blake Ironbarrow

Small compared to most Gilneans, Blake had a rather stunted growth during her childhood and only stands at a height of 5'1" while in her human form. She has a thin frame that alludes to her more agile build, lacking much defined muscle tone and indeed being short but rather lithe and thin rather than being stocky. With short and hastily cut black hair styled into a shoulder-length bob, it is clear that while she may have once taken great pride in its look and length, recent events have forced her to have it cut short.

 

If not for the amount of wounds the small Druid has sustained over the years Blake would have rather soft and rounded features, a small nose perched above thin, normally pursed lips that give her a youthful visage -despite this many would describe her appearance as androgynous at best, and boyish at worst. The most prominent and recent of the scars she carries is a long, deep rift running through her right eye down to her nose, staining the otherwise deep blue colour of her eye an almost milky tone and bringing with it partial blindness on that side of her vision. More scars also cover her left eye, nose, arm and chest area, with much older ones clearly visible on her back on the rare occasion she has it visible. Her left hand has also been permanently marred by flame, the entire limb seared and burnt.

The Druid's eyes are peculiar in the fact that her left is a bright amber in colour and her right is a milky blue thanks to the earlier-mentioned scar, both almond-shaped and comparatively large to the rest of her face. Strangely enough they have a glinting, ghostly quality that makes them easily visible in darkness.

 

When she shifts into Worgen form, normally just before combat in order to gain the advantages the extra form brings, her height goes up to a still relatively short 6'9", for a Worgen at least, and a pale grey coat sprouts across her body. As for her scars, the larger and more prominent ones are still visible, the coarse fur either darkened or missing altogether across those on her face or back. Somewhat different to other individuals afflicted by the curse however is the mute's snout, slightly more stunted and rounded to reflect her human features, of course lined with a set of sharp fangs.

 

As for her choices of clothing, Blake will typically never be seen without the same green and brown scarf that she will wear everywhere. Her travelling gear usually consists of the very basics - a leather vest, sleeveless in design with a few metal studs and buckles giving a slight extra bit of protection from a blade or impact, with a pair of bands adorning her upper arms complete with feathers and leaves stuffed beneath the leather for extra protection. The stuffing occasionally leaks, normally to comedic effect. Her gloves are slightly more intricate, fur-lined with small iron plates acting as makeshift bracers. She wears simple leggings, extra pieces of leather and metal adding further protection, a belt lined with many pouches and potions of various colours and consistencies wrapping around her waist. Finally a pair of greaves adorn her feet, topped with a black cloak that she keeps wrapped around herself to keep her warm. While she will sometimes wear a dress, this is the stuff that she spends most of her time wearing.

 

While out and about the Druidess will normally carry around a simple leather satchel, dyed a dark olive green and carrying chiefly, her sketchpad. Along with this however, the bag carries whatever Blake can generally get her hands on, be that food, various herbs, powders, seeds, supplies, and anything else that might come her way.
