Description
Tough and gnarled like an olive tree, Sun-hwa has weathered tan skin and distinct Earthborn ethnic features—sharp nose, high cheekbones, and piercing eyes. Her wiry muscular build speaks of relentless survival, short-cropped dark hair framing a hardened face. Practical Gray combat gear hugs her frame, accented by a circular plasma wrist weapon, her presence one of disciplined, battle-ready efficiency. Sun-hwa is a tough, gnarled woman, her sturdy, weathered presence likened to an olive tree. Her features are described as Earthborn and continentally ethnic, though the text does not specify her complexion, hair, or eyes. She favors plain civilian street clothes, an unremarkable choice that contrasts with the exotic circular plasma weapon mounted on the inside of her left wrist. She carries herself with an understated, dangerous directness.
