You see a tall, slender insectoid covered in dusty-colored fuzz. Zie is dressed in an elaborate, backless leather gown with innumerable straps and buckles and a tight "mermaid" hem sewn around zir ankles. Papery brown wings imply zie is male, but zir curves assert otherwise.
Two compound eyes bulge and glitter expressionlessly under feathery antennae, and braided red hair covers up the lack of external ears. But the rest of zir face is humanlike, with elfin cheekbones and faintly sneering lips coated in purple gloss. Zir four arms are each wrapped up in study leather ribbons from the wrist to the elbow, partially covering spike-knuckled gloves. Zir waist is bound in a tight red leather cincher and zir feet are buckled into a set of heavy black bondage boots.
Around zir neck is a golden cartouche whose hieroglyphics read, in rough translation, "To hell with your forests anyhow." A single strand of impossibly gauzy white thread runs from the top of the cartouche, like some kind of wire, and bifurcates to wrap the base of each antenna in a thicker bundle. Many similar baubles are clipped to her or the gown, and every one in a while one of them whirrs, clacks, or suddenly snaps mechanically into a new configuration.
Marhime is an artificer for the Szjna-cyvani. Zie is a specialist in psychotronic devices, restraints, and artistic tools (considered a single category by zir culture).
