Natasha: Physical Aspects

Height

She is very, but not quite infeasibly, tall. While both Jennifer (at 181 cm) and Andrea (182 cm) are tall women by the standards of Earth and Calmarendi, Natasha is significantly taller by a margin one could not fail to notice even if they were not stood side-by-side. She tells us that she measures 2,016 mm or, in the old money, six feet, seven and three-eighths inches.

Body Type

Built like a brick shithouse with hot and cold running water. Some might say that "tubbylumps" is a more accurate description.

Hair

If Natasha’s height might be described as unusual, the length of her hair comes closer still to the bounds of feasibility. Her dead straight flaxen hair is usually (but incorrectly) described as floor length. She generally wears it with a heavy fringe veiling her forehead. Two slender bunches of longer hair either side of her face she binds with little grips or coloured ribbons but otherwise most of it flows freely, unbound and unbraided, down her back. Whilst, to the casual observer, it may, indeed, appear to reach all the way to the floor, it does not ever actually drag along in the dirt behind her; not quite, not even when she stoops to pass through a low doorway. Quite how this is possible is undefined but she describes it herself as being only ankle length and that “it does not, by and large, do things that I do not intend it to”.

Many who see it crave to touch it or draw a hairbrush through it but few are permitted to make so bold as to actually do so.

Eyes

The default colour is orange, the deep orange-yellow colour of turmeric, but Natasha can make them any colour that pleases her.
