Appearance
Jenga is a humanoid shape only in the loosest, most apologetic sense, as if a person were remembered by a half-dreaming eye and then stitched together from the recollection. Their face is perpetually hidden beneath layered hoods, scarves, and a hanging veil of weather-dark cloth, yet two bright orb-like lights hover where eyes should be, burning through gaps in the fabric with a steady, knowing glow. Their silhouette is built from many mismatched garments, road cloaks, funerary ribbons, a tailor's vest, an innkeeper's apron, and a child's bright sash, all worn at once in a grotesque but deliberate stack that gives the impression of a body trying to become itself and failing politely. The clothes rustle with a dry, papery movement, but when Jenga turns, there is a liquid grace in the motion, like wind passing through a bell tower. Their limbs are long and jointed in ways that feel almost correct from a distance and deeply wrong up close, and their hands seem to finish a gesture a heartbeat after the rest of them has moved on.
“Their speech is melodic, layered with echo, and unnervingly intimate. They often speak as though narrating a song that has not reached its chorus.”

Voice
“Soft, musical, and crystalline, with an echo that makes every sentence feel like it was sung in a cathedral built inside a bell.”
Clothing
A grotesque stack of mismatched layers: soot-black traveling cloak, faded velvet waistcoat, patched linen skirts over trousers, stained fingerless gloves, prayer ribbons, and polished boots that are never the same pair twice. Hidden beneath the outer layers are bells sewn shut with silver thread and scraps of stage costume from long ago.
Body Language
Jenga moves with a measured, swaying gait, as if balancing on a road only they can see. Their head tilts toward sounds long before their body follows, and their hands often hover near their chest as though cradling an invisible instrument. When amused, the layered clothes shiver as if several unseen shoulders are laughing at once.
