TAP: '''a careworn dancer's treatise bound by soft rosecloth ribbons'''
LOOK: Creasing and discoloration are evident along the lengths of blush-hued ribbon in a distinct pattern. Elegant lettering in faded gold leaf sweeps across the cover to read, "Dance Like Everyone's Watching: Forms, Theory, and Advice on Performing Before an Audience." Many of the pages are crinkled and littered with copious tiny notes in the margins.

TAP: '''an auroral-toned lotusweave kirtle belted by draping chains of gold'''
LOOK: Awash in the pale hues of a dawning spring morning, the fabric gleams with a soft silken luster as it cascades from its demure scooped neckline to a floor-length hem. Long, narrow sleeves frame the bodice of the garment, and a series of loose golden chains hang across the hips. Medallions dangle from the fine links overlapping the folds of the flowing skirt, each carved with a stylized sun.

TAP: '''some green jade rings notched in even intervals'''
WORN: You have several interlocking rings of green jade that pierce the flesh to follow along your right eyebrow, each notched in even intervals and rubbed with indigo.
NOTE: Eye brow rings that match Briaen's, to signify their marriage. From [[Humanist]].

TAP: '''a gold neithrel band fastened with five silver chains'''
LOOK: Lines of inlaid silver run along the heavy gold bracelet and ring forming the neithrel band. Each of the five silver chains stretches from different places upon the bracelet to join together on the single ring, forming a delicate silver web to lay across the back of the hand when worn.
READ: "To remember, lest we forget the pain of those before us."

'''Peacock Dance Costume:'''
You see Dancer Mendira Huns of Zaldi Taipa, an Elf.
The glittery mask is covered in short greenish-blue feathers to create the regal head of a peacock and completely enshrouds her features. A fan-like crest crowns the top of Mendira's head, while long plumes of iridescent blue and green cascade down her shoulders to display their colorful eyespots sprinkled with peacock jaspers. The vibrant teal gems contrast sharply with the pure white beak of alerce covering the lower half of her face.
She is in good shape.<br />
She is wearing a dramatic spun glitter cloak trailing a multitude of iridescent peacock plumes, an iridescent blue spun glitter bodice flamboyantly feathered with peacock plumes, a breathtaking classically-styled tutu composed of iridescent peacock feathers and a pair of soft gold velvet dancing slippers with silken ankle-laces.<br />
TAP: '''a dramatic spun glitter cloak trailing a multitude of iridescent peacock plumes'''
LOOK: Innumerable delicate feathers are festooned in overlapping rows across a scintillating layer of vivid, sapphire blue spun glitter. They quiver with every movement of the garment, bright blue eyes showcasing their brilliance with every tremble. Emerald firesilk lines the interior, and its shimmering hue and shifting shades of red complement a pair of delicate gold hooks designed to secure the cloak at the throat.
NOTE: Cloak crafted by Sindah, with consultations from Vixonia and Navesi

'''Sungold Dance Costume:'''
You see Songbird Mendira Huns, Dancer of Zaldi Taipa, an Elf.
Mendira has pointed ears and large expressive faded lilac eyes. Her dark brown hair is hip length and silky, and is worn braided in a tightly wound coil held in place at the back of the head by a fragile sungold hairnet woven with translucent whisperlayne blooms. She has warm caramel-hued skin and a sylphlike figure.
She is statuesque for an Elf.
She appears to be young.
She has several interlocking rings of green jade that pierce the flesh to follow along her right eyebrow, each notched in even intervals and rubbed with indigo.
Her shoulder has a tattoo of a brightly colored songbird darting through a cascade of musical notes.
She is in good shape.<br />
She is holding an elegant filigreed sungold dancing fan trailing lengths of lilac whisperlayne in her left hand.
She is wearing a whisperlayne and petalette bandeau illumined by sungold beadwork, a wispy skirt composed of lilac whisperlayne entwined in fine strands of sungold and some delicate toe-bells of filigreed sungold.<br />
TAP: '''a fragile sungold hairnet woven with translucent whisperlayne blooms'''
LOOK: Thin chains of softly gleaming metal linked at regular intervals comprise a loose mesh designed to secure a variety of hairstyles, affixed on either side to a set of small filigreed silver combs. Soft blossoms of airy, pale purple fabric are scattered across the joining points of the delicate hair ornament, their petals trembling and floating with every movement.<br />
TAP: '''an elegant filigreed sungold dancing fan trailing lengths of lilac whisperlayne'''
LOOK: Finely drawn tendrils of metal twist together in a lattice of coiling strands to compose a series of delicate panels, each aureate in the warm, gentle hues of dawn. Carved to provide a secure grip, a ring of pure white alerce joins them at the base of the piece. Articulation of the wooden handle allows the fan to open and close smoothly, every movement setting the streaming translucent fabric affixed to the tip of each blade aflutter.<br />
TAP: '''a whisperlayne and petalette bandeau illumined by sungold beadwork'''
LOOK: Neatly draped swathes of sheer fabric dyed a pale lilac hue veil the close-fitting garment's lustrous base of blush petalette. Silver cording trims the neckline and serves to lace up the back. Tiny beads and baubles stitched in intricate patterns atop the airy whisperlayne gleam in the light, shimmering with an array of sunrise hues.<br />
TAP: '''a wispy skirt composed of lilac whisperlayne entwined in fine strands of sungold'''
LOOK: A blush petalette underskirt glimmers with a pearlescent sheen beneath layers of diaphanous whisperlayne. Silver cording adorns the upper edge of the garment to form a secure waistband that anchors the lavish lengths of fabric that billow downwards when worn. Clusters of aureate beads are strewn in ornate patterns across the gauzy top layer, each joined to the next by finely wrought tendrils of warm metal awash in all the hues of a rising sun.<br />
TAP: '''some delicate toe-bells of filigreed sungold'''
LOOK: Fine strands of gleaming metal tinged with warm sunset hues form the petals of diminutive blooms. Each of the hollow sculpted flowers encases a single, tiny bead of silver, and the argent drops jingle and rattle within their brilliant cages when jostled.<br />
TAP: '''a pair of blush petalette dancing slippers laced with twining ribbons'''
LOOK: The flat, flexible soles display signs of wear, their leather supple and scuffed, but the laces appear to be crisp and new. They criss-cross smartly over the throat of the shoes, the remaining lengths of silken fabric designed to wind about the ankles when worn.
