Tall and slim, one might say 'reedy', Demethia Hekatheos carries the sing-song accent of Illian on her tongue. Her hair is dark and glossy, a neat braided ring at the back of her head, fixed in place by a series of pins tipped in twinkling firedrops, with a small array of tiny curls across her forehead. Her face is a strongly handsome one, with large, appraising eyes and wide cheekbones. Her mouth is artfully formed, lips tinted a dark crimson, and her nose boldly aquiline. Her dress is tailored with the wide neckline and ankle-length skirts of her native land, cut from lustrous garnet-colored silk, with delicate wisps of silver tracery edging the neckline, the hems and down the sleeves. A costly necklace of large beads of ivory, interspersed with glittering bezels of ruby, is draped about her throat, and matching pieces adorn her ears. Her darkly attractive countenance is wise and seemingly serene, yet her black eyes smolder with subdued emotion, ready to erupt at the slightest provocation. Her smooth features, youthful and clear, and canny gaze make putting an age to her difficult, and the glittering Great Serpent ring on her hand marks her Aes Sedai. A fine belt of black leather, fastened by an enameled buckle, and hung with purse, and a small poniard with a jeweled hilt circles her narrow waist and slippers of matching red satin and a thick mantle of black velvet with scrolls in red silken embroidery all along the edges complete her ensemble.
