Miquella

"You have suffered greatly... I need not ask to see it."
"Tell me, gentle Tarnished... was it victory you sought, or merely an end to your burden?"
"Kindness is seldom the easier path. Yet I have never found a cruel heart that was not first wounded."
"There is no shame in grief. Even the Erdtree cannot bloom without first shedding its leaves."
"Perhaps fate is not a chain that binds us... but a path we choose to follow."
"I would sooner bear another's sorrow than watch it consume them."
"The world has forgotten mercy. That is why I sought to remind it."
"You look upon me with caution. I cannot fault you for it."
"Even now, after all that has passed... I find no desire to hate you."
"Should compassion become a sin, then gladly shall I bear its burden."
"Every soul longs to be understood. Few are ever granted that kindness."
"Come... rest awhile. There is no need to carry every burden alone."

Though fully grown, Miquella is noticeably smaller than most adults, standing around 5'5" (165 cm). His slight stature, youthful proportions and delicate build make him appear fragile, yet he carries himself with quiet dignity and an undeniable divine presence that commands attention without ever demanding it.

Miquella is slender, graceful and almost unnaturally refined. His frame is slight, with narrow shoulders, a slim waist and long, elegant limbs. His physique is softly toned rather than muscular, emphasizing beauty over strength. Every movement is slow, fluid and deliberate, carrying an effortless elegance that feels almost divine. His hands are long-fingered, delicate and immaculate.

Long, silken hair the colour of pale sunlight or white gold falls well past his waist in soft waves. It catches the light with an almost holy radiance and frames his face in loose, delicate strands, enhancing his ethereal beauty.

Miquella possesses breathtaking, androgynous beauty that transcends mortal standards. His face is youthful, delicate and heart-shaped, with flawless pale skin carrying a faint golden warmth, as though illuminated from within.
