Tall and wiry, with dusky skin and intense eyes of black, Gazheva Orcanyar seems a woman in perpetual dissatisfaction. Her dark, smoldering eyes are irritatingly questioning, and her wine colored lips carry the barest hint of a sneer at all times. Her nose is bold and aquiline, her jaw prominent and just shade shy of masculine. Still, she is a handsome woman, and with her height she turns many a head. Her cheeks are unlined and her complexion is clear and elastic, making her seem younger than she might well be, although it is difficult to put an age to her at all.

Gazheva's dress is dark gray, high waisted and with a prim square neckline, cut from watered silk. Narrow bands of red satin with blackwork stitchery accent her cuffs and hems, with a double row arrayed down her bodice. Fastening studs of silver with bits of red carnelian form a glittering line down her bodice. Her dark hair is a neat spill beneath a sheer veil of white voile that spills down her back, all held down with a silver fillet. A flat necklace of large garnets burns at her throat, and the Great Serpent ring glitters brightly upon her narrow finger. A mantle of costly sables is draped across her finery as protection against the elements.
