Body Features
While Xal'vash rarely takes on a physical form, when they do, their appearance is as fluid and multifaceted as their essence. They do not conform to a single gender or shape but instead manifest in a way that radiates beauty, safety, and calm to those who behold them. Their form is unique to each individual, appearing as a vision of perfection that aligns with the deepest desires and perceptions of the observer.
Xal'vash’s physical embodiment can shift between genders, combine elements of various genders, or exist in a state beyond gender entirely. Their form is an expression of beauty and harmony that resonates on a deeply personal level with each observer.
For some, Xal'vash might appear as a figure of serene elegance, an androgynous being clothed in flowing garments that seem to be woven from stardust and moonlight.

Regardless of the specific appearance, Xal'vash’s physical form always carries an ethereal beauty that transcends mortal standards. Their presence is calming, their movements graceful, and their voice—if they choose to speak—is like the music of the spheres, soothing and profound.
