Mask: Adela has a dancer's build - thin, but almost entirely muscle. She tends to wears loose clothing that's easy to move in, often in subdued blues and grays. When it's cold she bundles up to an almost ridiculous degree. When she's dancing or teaching, she wears her hair pulled sharply back into a bun, but the rest of the time she lets it hang loose.

Mien: Her whole body is thinner and lighter, and when she moves, it almost seems like she doesn't quite touch the ground. Her hair is the color of smoke and both it and her fingers seem to fade into the surrounding air rather than come to an identifiable end point. Her skin is the dark mottled gray of thunderclouds lit by constant flashes of internal lightning that vary in intensity. Mostly they just produce a low glow, but sometimes, especially when she's feeling strong emotions they get brighter, sometimes nearly blindingly so.

Mantle: The scent of incoming snow and a slight chill on the skin.
