Description:
Betula is a tall, thin woman. An angular, long face few would consider beautiful. Hair of brown with almost greenish highlights when it lightens with sun exposure. Her skin is mostly pale like a birch tree but, also like a birch tree, are darker patches shaped something like eyes. Something about her pale skin makes it seem that there is a glow beneath it, like is sometimes said of joyfully healthy people. Her eyes are an almost unnatural pale green. She wears long wool peasant skirts and dresses most left undyed or brown and often with stains of dirt and grass at her knees and below. In most weather she also wears high socks under her skirts to hide her stigmata from those who may misunderstand them in case her skirts lift enough and a deep-hooded long cloak over it al when she must enter a town to somewhat hide her fae features.
Casting Sigil: Birch Tree. Depending on the effect or on the sense used to sense the spell or trace it might come across as coloration, texture, smell, etc. For instance, her Creo Herbam spells often produce birch wood and even if they don't the plant or wood seems to have some of the cosmetic features of birch wood.
Voting Sigil: a piece of birch wood carved in the shape of a chess pawn.
