Physical
Besides what she was born with, every aspect of Loreto’s appearance is intentional. She keeps her hair half up so it remains out of her face but also cannot be used by her opponent to turn the tides of combat. She keeps her outfits dark and loose: loose so that her archery does not suffer, and dark so that she has a tactical advantage when fighting at night. She has never worn makeup because she does not need to appeal to make her targets easier to shoot. And she keeps her steps soft and swift, rolling her feet as she was trained to keep her aim steady and her opponents unaware.
There are some parts of her that she wishes she could change. Her small physique, though kept at its peak through training, makes drawing a bow require more effort. Her hair, despite pulling it back, still tickles her face and risks causing a distraction. And her full lips still draw eyes to her, eyes that could risk her accomplishing her task.
Despite her worries, it is rather difficult for people to assume that she could be a beautiful distraction. She rarely smiles and looks on everyone with a glare of suspicion. Her voice furthers this unpleasant look, dead in tone and sharp in intonation. Her head is held high, telling others that she is certain she stands above them in respectability and capability.

Personality
The world has not been kind to Loreto, and as such, she has hardened herself from future hurts. Though she is capable of feeling emotion, she finds it very easy to reserve such displays to minimal mannerisms – a twitch of an eyebrow here, a sharp sigh there. This makes it much easier to keep people at a distance, and further provides her the defenses to never be hurt again.
Despite all this, Loreto does feel deeply. It is why things hurt as they do, she thinks. So even though she desires to keep people at a distance, she feels the pains of loneliness for such actions. It’s a horrible weakness that she just cannot seem to purge from herself. Her greatest weakness, however, is her fear. She feels so afraid all the time: fear of failure, fear of being overlooked by her superiors, fear of her family. She is grateful for her ability to hide such fear, but she knows it will not serve her forever. One day, she will have to face her fears and conquer them. She will have to kill them, if necessary.
