This young, slim woman appears to be far too slender for her own good. Standing at aproximately five feet tall, she would look to be undersized in every way.  The effect is compounded by the huge black dog that is almost always in her company.

Thick black locks frame a thin, pale face with large deep brown, almost black, eyes and many terrible scars mar her cheeks. A somewhat haunted expression is most often present when she thinks no one is looking and a soft, although wary, smile takes its place at other times.

About her left wrist sits a bracelet woven of multi coloured thread, however she keeps her hands covered always by thin cotton gloves in either white or black.

Adorning her right ear is an earring fashioned like a long upside down triangle of blackened metal, a polished red stone in the center, and two more, one above and one below whilst a ornament fashioned from red beads and two feathers is nestled toward the back of her hair on the left side.

More often than not, Ilaru wears a simple black gown with a white chiffon over-dress, belted at the waist with black cord. A stylised polished steel circlet set with a single tear-shaped piece of red glass adorns her forehead. On occasion, she can be seen in thick brown and burgundy furs, such as one might expect to see on a northern tribesman.

Hanging from her belt is a small sharp dagger that looks to be rather old and worn.
