Shortly after Penthus left Valta for another, she came to the realization that she was carrying his child. Though, considering it was the last thing on earth she had ever wanted, this did not go over well, but she was forced to come to terms with it. Since she did not want to have to explain it to anyone who didn't already know, following the ball, she attempted to adapt her clothing to hide her condition for as long as possible.

A woman of some height stands before you, reaching perhaps six feet if
bare footed. Thick ebony hair flows down her body, pooling about the small
of her back in smooth strands. The only break in the raven wash is a
starkly white streak arching from above her right brow, curling through the
darker strands and echoing the snowy complexion of her skin.
Her face would be described as beautiful, her cheekbones pronounced and
elegant beneath her pale skin. Her brows are arched and slender under a
smooth forehead and above her refined nose. Her lips are full and often
held in a slight smirk, an expression that could be described as mocking.
Both of her ears are adorned with an array of silver. The left lobe holds
five gleaming studs, the last holding a miniscule stone reminiscent of
obsidian, and two cartilage piercings, a thick stud and a small but solid
hoop above it. The right contains four small rings in the lobe and a piece
of silver twisted through two holes in the cartilage and intertwined to look
like a single ring.
The most striking parts of her face, though, are her eyes and the scars
crossing them. The first scar is paler and obviously older, though it still
retains a hint of crimson. It runs vertically over her right eye, cutting
her eyebrow in two and slicing down to end on her cheek. The second is a
darker scarlet and seems to have been made recently. It lies beneath her
right eye, moving horizontally across her cheek carving through the bottom
of the first scar. Her eyes are two pitch pools, depthless and holding an
almost uncanny emptiness. The irises and pupils hold no distinctions from
one another, both blending together into seamless stygian centers. And
often a ripple or twist will flow through them as if they were liquid.
Her slender body is obviously that of a warrior's, with well-defined muscles
stretched over long limbs, but the distinctly feminine curves covering them
belie her gender. Her well-formed legs are currently clad in deep gray
breeches of a fine deerskin, but a pair of black leather chaps now covers
these. Both are slung low on her hips and held by a thick belt that carries
her two swords, the leather of which is covered by thick metal links. A
large platinum plate adorns the left thigh of the chaps, resting so that it
will not obstruct her if riding. If examined closely, one can see that
intricate Nordmaarian knotwork has been etched into the metal. The other
thigh is covered with bright chainmail, this also situated so as not to
interfere with riding and held on with several leather straps. More of
these straps wrap about the chaps' left calf and another length of chainmail
embellishes the right. A pair of black leather boots can barely be seen
beneath the breeches and chaps, their one and a half inch heels coated with
a metal matching the plate above.
Black leather vambraces cover her forearms, the left enhanced with a plate
akin to the one gracing her thigh, the right by more straps. Another guard
is strapped around her right bicep, holding yet another plate. Her top is a
sleeveless length of deep violet silk that shrouds the brilliant tattoo
staining her upper back. The collar has a deep slice cut into the front but
remains loose, the fabric barely brushing her skin, but not quite hiding the
large swell that is now evident in her belly.
