Standing at a height of five-foot even, just barely into adulthood, Galenka did not strike one as intimidating at first glance, her bright blonde hair was long, reaching down past her buttocks, left to flow freely, the feathers of a hawk tied into part of it, on the left side of her hair. Her large, hawk-like eyes bore striking blue irises, and her skin was tanned from years spent in the wilds, her soft chin sporting a scar. Her high cheekbones and softly rounded nose giving her a somewhat innocent look, her features were pretty, certainly. She had several visible piercings, a gold ring through her left nostril, a silvery stud in her tongue, and one in her lower lip, above her chin, and various rings and studs in her ears, oft hidden by her hair. Any other piercings, one would have to discover on their own.

Her short stature betrayed her surprising strength, her small body a package of solid muscle, with enough curvature to still be considered feminine, she was petite, as most Blackwood women were.

 She took care of her appearance to a degree, keeping her hair brushed and a small amount of makeup, blood-red lipstick and black eyeliner, a recent discovery on her part, though her soft skin often sported dirt-marks, or even surface scratches, from rough-housing with her best friend, Shadow, the large black wolf a constant presence at her side.

Her clothes consisted of utilitarian garments, over aesthetic, her armor made of fine black steel and her leathers supple, treated deerskin, cloths were breathable cotton and warm wool, with an older-looking bearskin pelt over her shoulders,clearly a woman of some means.

Across her back lay a strange object, a long, leather bag, carried by a strap, fit snugly, it looked to be made to split easily down to side, so as to quickly draw whatever was inside.

Niece to Kain Blackwood, Galenka's demeanor took after her fathers, Bradshaw Blackwood, jovial at the pain and plight of others, especially elves, she oft had a cruel glint to her eyes, or an amused smirk on her full lips, her own appetites starting to become as known in Blacksteel as they were among the elven barbarians beyond the walls.
