Senior practitioner, Concordance register, nineteen years standing
At a glance
Dressed correctly for a slightly more formal occasion than the one she is at.
Upright, still.
Ink on the side of the right hand; a practitioner's callus across both palms.
Their story so far
Nineteen years on the register, four hundred and eleven recorded pairings, not one request submitted to the rota office in all that time. She is the practitioner other practitioners are assigned to when a job cannot be allowed to fail. She has been in the same two rooms above the print-shop since she qualified.
The crack in them
Treats precision as a moral quality, so that wanting something imprecisely feels to her like a lapse in professional standards.
How they sound
Clipped, exact soprano; every sentence finished and none of them offered. Softens only when she is describing work, which is why she describes work constantly.
Their music
A single sustained violin note, perfectly in tune, held a beat longer than the phrase needs.
What they carry
- A worn brass measuring-rule she does not need and has never once put down.
- The season's rota slip, folded to the size of a stamp.
In their words
That is not what the measure required.
One holds, or one does not. There is no third thing.

Physical Description
Female, average height, upright and still. She is dressed correctly for a slightly more formal occasion than the one she is at. She has ink on the side of her right hand and a practitioner's callus across both palms. Her voice is a clipped, exact soprano; every sentence is finished and none is offered. It softens only when she describes work.
Goal
Hold the Arent Bridge. The crack runs far deeper than the guild's report admits.
Flaw
Treats precision as a moral quality, so wanting something imprecisely feels to her like a lapse in professional standards.
Secret
Secret — select to reveal
In nineteen years and 411 pairings she has never submitted a request to the rota office. There is one partner she would request, if she ever let herself want something imprecisely.

No one in this world can work magic alone. A Strange Resolution for consonance needs a partner present and in synchrony; without one, the Dealer should rule it impossible rather than call for a Resolution. Two practitioners working together is a natural Group Resolution.
