Character Portrait - Daniela Alvarez - The Gates of Horn and Ivory
Dani is a small, wiry thing, with curly black hair that ends up bunching up around her ears no matter how long it is. Right now, it should be down to her shoulders - should being the key word. She's a military brat (still thinks of herself this way, despite having been Air Force herself) and she dresses like one. Camo pants with way too many pockets. Button-up shirt with its sleeves rolled up. Standard-issue boots.
It takes a while for you to notice the wheelchair. It's the way she sits in it (very deliberately so), like it's any old chair or couch. But once you see it, you can't unsee it anymore and it changes everything you think of her.
She knows this, and she doesn't bother to smile and say it's all good anymore. She never was good at lying.
