Nora is a human woman with a mixed lineage, her ancestors including a couple of people from Angelic side, and a couple of examples of the darker persuasion of Fiends. Still, with two human grandparents and two non-humans, she is still mostly human, at least appearance wise.

Magic has come rather naturally to Nora, though she still studies it rather than simply drawing on innate reserves, and her studies have lead to her exploring things that saw her banished from her old mentor's care, and set her off to a journey to Sinfar.

Given her interest in some body-modification and magic to alter herself with, Nora's original looks are more or less lost, and she enjoys making occasional changes, though she does seem to have a few preferences she returns to.
