| - Philomene is a young-looking and rather skinny little priestess. Narrow-hipped and small-breasted, she appears slow to smile and quick to frown. Her expression is typically bland; this is at odds with her nervous hands, given to small gestures and fidgetings. Her features are austere and a bit too strong for her face, lending her an avian air. Her eyes are a watery slate blue, spaced rather wide on her otherwise narrow face. She is extremely fair-skinned, a legacy from a lifetime spent largely indoors. Her ears tend to flush when she is embarrassed, giving the lie to her generally inscrutable countenance.

| - Philomene is a young-looking and rather skinny little priestess. Narrow-hipped and small-breasted, she appears slow to smile and quick to frown. Her expression is typically bland; this is at odds with her nervous hands, given to small gestures and fidgetings. Her features are austere and a bit too strong for her face, lending her an avian air. Her eyes are a watery slate blue, spaced rather wide on her otherwise narrow face. She is extremely fair-skinned, a legacy from a lifetime spent largely indoors. Her ears tend to flush when she is embarrassed, giving the lie to her generally inscrutable countenance. She is not what the average person would call pretty by any stretch of the imagination. An accurate description would be "hatchet-faced". She has a scar on her left palm as well as one on the inside of her left forearm, a remnant from a bad break in childhood. Her shoulder-length, wavy black hair has been recently shorn off. It now scarcely brushes her chin. She can typically be found in the somber robes of a priest or a scribe, and in fact despises pants. She eschews cosmetics and does not appear the sort who pays attention to fashion, though she is always tidy. What jewelry she does wear consists of her signet ring, bearing the lion guardant of her order, a her engraved truesilver wedding band, and a small braided leather bracelet. This bracelet looks almost crudely made compared to the simple, elegant lines of the rest of her jewelry. She bears two tattoos:
* On her left side, from ribcage to hipbone are three words, inscribed in a flowing, ornate black script: "Words are wind."
* On her back, from neck to buttocks and running down her spine is another quotation, this one much longer. It is replicated just on the other side of her vertebrae, running up the spine this time, to lend a certain visual symmetry: "You will know it is love when you give it without expectation of the same in return." This tattoo has unfortunately been bisected by a massive scar.
