Ginia Solana

Clothes: Comfortable, but nice clothes that allow for movement. Nice skirts, blouses, clean jeans, professional casual. If she's training, then jogging pants and a t-shirt. If she's wearing a nice dress or black slacks/skirt and a white blouse, she just finished working at Cloud Nine. Always in good condition, very rarely frayed or stained. Someone very used to business settings and putting on a good impression, but also ready for action at a moment's notice. Examples: One two (also a good reference for her hair. Tied back if she's training or working on something, may also curl it if going to some nice gathering.) three four (ignore the hair.)
--Shoes: Shoes are often flats or something she can comfortably run in. Heels are rare unless she's coming from a fancy party/gathering. If she's patrolling, she has a pair of hiking boots she wears.
--Carries a sheathed knife at her back (usually hidden under her shirt), has a boot knife on an ankle sheath on her right ankle.
--Usually wearing this necklace. She takes it off at night or when she's taking a shower, takes very good care of it. Sherlock is free to draw whatever conclusions he wants from who gave it to her and why.
--Also has this bag with her most of the time. She keeps her journal, extra notebooks and pens, small first aid kit, and extra clothes and some food if she's looking for new feathers.

Physical appearance: Very healthy, fast, works out often (archery, swordfighting, running, martial arts). For scars, here is a reference. She doesn't cover up the on on her arm or leg (she also has a long scrape down her right hip from sliding over some rocks), but she keeps her back scars covered and goes through great effort to keep them covered/concealed. Rarely wears makeup, if she does, it's all very natural (foundation, maybe blush and lipstick). No perfume, no nailpolish, nails are kept trimmed short. Very frequent writer, handles guns and knives/swords, does some archery, plays piano, (eventually) gardens, and cooks so he can draw any clues from her hands. No rings or bracelets. Also wears a silver cross necklace from time-to-time, also kept in excellent condition. Not at all religious, but it was a gift from Giles.

Keeps good posture, former dancer. Well-balanced, very poised, always sits up. Tension points are along her shoulders. Has worked with businessmen, government men, and military alike so some of that may show in her posture and how she presents herself.

Habits: Slight head tilt or taps her chin or cheek with her fingers or pen if she's thinking, likes to keep her hands free (not in pockets, rarely crossed over her chest or behind her back) from all her years of writing or sign language. Never sits with her back to a window or a door, likes to keep her chair angled so she can see as much as possible and minimize blindspots. Sits in a way where it's easy to get in and out. (Caution, used to action, paranoia.) Distances herself from any fires bigger than a campfire.

Profession: Plays piano and sings at Cloud Nine, also bartends and manages the club; assists at the clinic and the Welcome Center. Was a hitman/strategist/guard in her own world. Very familiar with weapons and fighting, doesn't mention it much, if it all to anyone.

Voice: Actually mute, the necklace she wears lets her speak. Her voice is based off her mother's so she has a slight Italian accent (mother was born and raised in Venice). However, she grew up in Davenport (fictional city outside of Boston) so some of the region's dialect may be in there.

Other things: Likes sweets, drinks lots of tea (with honey). Has a dog (mixed breed, large dog) and two cats (orange tabbies, one male, one female, both... I think eight or nine months old?). Left wing was broken at the base and as a result, can't extend as far as it normally can and is tilted down slightly. With people she doesn't know, she likes to keep her distance, but is more touchy-feely with friends (hugs, touching their arm). Smiles all the damn time, often as an emotional mask, the kind of person who tells people she's fine and hides everything when she's really not.

Also grew up reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories so she would know who Sherlock Holmes is, but is smart enough to not canon-puncture anyone.
