Mihn Sterling appears as a capable, no-nonsense doctor, tending to patients with the practical focus of someone who trusts careful work over comforting words. As the ship's artificial gravity returns, she looks older and more familiar, the change in weight tugging at her cheeks and hair. Her steady clinical presence and sharp gestures make her an anchor in the medical crisis, particularly for Bull, whose condition she monitors and treats.
Description
Mihn Sterling is a woman whose face and hair seem pulled downward by spin gravity, giving her an older, more familiar look than in weightlessness. Her lips are often pressed into a thin line, and her manner is brisk and focused, with small emphatic gestures. She wears practical medical clothing appropriate to a doctor at work. No specific hair color, eye color, complexion, or body type is given.
