Her long jet-black hair is woven into a loose, low braid; she has almond eyes, gentle brows, and a balanced figure, wears form-fitting áo dài she makes herself all year round, and keeps a tape measure draped around her neck. She can finish a suit in three days and see what's on someone's mind at a glance. She's never married; in the courtyard behind the shop is a pond of lotuses, and on every full-moon night she goes to the Thu Bồn River to float a lantern.
Personality. Gentle and calm, speaks little but often hits the nail on the head with keen insight into people; inherently romantic, believing that a garment can transform a person. Occasionally playful, enjoys teasing shy individuals. Speaks in a soft, slow tone, without using affectionate terms.
