Height: 5'2" (~158 cm)
Weight: 110 lbs. (~50 kg)
Skin: Fair (Some abdominal scars, kept concealed)

Eyes: Slate Blue
Handedness: Right
Posture: Straight-backed, prim, non-fidgety

A quick glance reveals...
...that this young woman appears to be in her late teens or early twenties. She carries an unadorned leather travel satchel, and glimpses of weaponry - a shortbow and quiver, a longsword scabbard attached to a belt upon mithril plate, and a heavy wooden shield - can be noticed when she is armored.
Regardless of her attire, she always wears a prominent symbol upon her upper left arm: an insignia that denotes her affiliation to Candlekeep.
A closer inspection shows...
...that she is small in stature. She appears to stand 5'2" (~158 cm) and weigh 110 lbs. (~50 kg) sans armor.
...that there is a pristine gold book, whose cover features an inlaid scroll symbol, kept securely attached to her waist by a sturdy gold chain. Every now and again, a glimpse of pale blue-green light emits from the obviously magical item. Special: faithful of Oghma might feel the presence of their patron when near the tome.
...that there is a small silver cowbell tied to her travel satchel with blue and silver strings. When the satchel moves, a merry tinkle sounds.
When she speaks...
...her ariose voice carries a mild Waterdhavian accent that has been tempered by time spent elsewhere. Anyone familiar with the regional dialects of the City of Splendors could identify her as hailing from the Castle Ward, while those familiar with the dialects of Cormyr might realize that she has lived for a time in Suzail.
Within a close proximity...
...the subtle scent of her perfume, which combines notes of gardenia and violets with a hint of jasmine, can be detected.
...tipped ears - indicative of a heritage that is not quite human - can be discerned amidst the platinum tendrils.
...the slate blue color of her eyes can be noticed.
These are a selection of the many items that the scribe either carries within her magical travel satchel or wears upon her person. (Ordered from longest possessed to shortest.)
Well-Worn Leather Notebook
Although the leather cover has long been cracked and worn throughout years of use, the scribe is hesitant to replace her prized personal possession. The notebook is her life's blood; it is her main source of documentation, inspiration, and observation. Of all the items the young woman claims, this is one of the most important - and the one from which she is loath to part. Only one other person, Eldarian Al'maire, has ever been entrusted with its complete contents. (27th Eleasis, 1344 D.R.)
Blizzard's Hail
The stylish composite short-bow is made from a combination of white dragon bones, ironwood, and silver. Its string is fashioned from finely braided silken strands that end in a small platinum piece attached to the ends. Intricate patterns are carved into the surface of the beautiful, deadly weapon; they depict a snow storm fiercely crashing against a mountainside. (17th Alturiak, 1352 D.R.)
Raider's Wraps
The fingerless archer's gloves were recovered from a trove of long-forgotten relics in an ancient Shoon Imperium tower during a trek to destroy a powerful artifact. The inherent magical energy within the gloves bolster the bard in a variety of ways, and she is quite fond of the practicality of the item. (8th Kythorn, 1352 D.R.)
Hardcover Notebook
The elegant, hard leather cover of this notebook is the very reason why the scribe is hesitant to write within its pages, as she deems it 'too pretty' to use. Still, as the item is a gift from her dear friend Medune Norman, the scribe occasionally writes upon the crisp parchments for special transcriptions or letters. (3rd Flamerule, 1352 D.R.)
Leather Quiver
The sturdy vessel, a gift from Michael Dunn for her twentieth nameday, prominently features the symbol of Oghma amidst the other golden swirls and designs etched upon a metallic plate. (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Masterwork Lute
This magnificent lute, a creation of Yllanis Loralyassa, features hand-detailed etchings of griffons in flight - one of the many sights that Alexandra enjoyed as young girl in Waterdeep. The instrument was a belated Winter Solstice gift from Wesmille Groston. (26th Nightal, 1352 D.R.)
Silver Cowbell
"It is a cowbell. We put them on livestock so we can hear them wandering off. Now, are we going to have to tie a bell to you to keep track of you?" - Nezkreal Sezifear, explaining her solution to the 'problem' of Alexandra's unnoticed arrivals and departures from Candlekeep. (28th Nightal, 1352 D.R.)
Bibli Family Blade
The elegant, fiery longsword was donated to the library by Hazel Jynx, who recovered it and other weapons from the forces of self-proclaimed 'Grand Duke' Xander De'Cardi of Sembia. (2nd Alturiak, 1353 D.R.)
Divine Book of Oghma
This deity-created artifact is an item that Alexandra has been charged by Oghma to guard for the rest of her life. When it was still tainted by Shezgorath the Harkener, its presence in her life tested her faith, her willpower, and her alliances. The woman of Candlekeep was determined to unravel its mystery, and her dogged perseverance earned her validation most high. Subsequently, the tome is the most valuable of her possessions. (5th Alturiak, 1353 D.R.)
Golden Coin of Hoar
The symbol of faith was offered as both a token of friendship as well as an unspoken promise by Gunthar. The Guide carries it in a small pouch attached to her belt. (4th Kythorn, 1353 D.R.)
These are items that have sentimental significance to the young woman, although she does not keep them with her for whatever reason. Some items are on display in her office; some items are stored within various cabinets and chests. (Ordered from longest possessed to shortest.)
Candle of Hope
During the first month of her life in Baldur's Gate, when she was too inexperienced to aid in the excursions against the undead host, Alexandra was given an otherwise simple task by Onna'Evatril Moonwhisper: keeping alive the flame on a candle meant to 'light the way home' for the brave adventurers. The newcomer diligently performed the task, waiting until the last of the combatants returned, and the holder in which the candle once burned is now a treasured memento of a friend who has since departed the region. (19th Nightal, 1351 D.R.)
Thayan Jewelry Box
Within the possession of the young woman is a lavish box of Thayan make and design that has been filled to the brim with colorful, ornate pieces of jewelry. Necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, brooches, and hair combs - all gilded and set with expensive gemstones - are neatly arranged within the extravagant case. Most of the items have gone unworn. (21st Nightal, 1351 D.R.)
Preserved Snowflake
Magically created glass encases a solitary snowflake that has been suspended in perfect animation. (31st Nightal, 1351 D.R.)
Devotion to the Snowflake
This delicate gold ring has a filigree design that shows waves at the bases of mountains. In the midst of the setting is a brilliant white stone cut and carved to represent snow. The scribe once wore the jewel upon the fourth finger of her right hand. (24th Hammer, 1352 D.R.)
Winter's Bite
The masterfully crafted rapier was once kept sheathed on her left side when not in use. The polished, silvery blade is cold to the touch and features the name of the weapon engraved in stylish calligraphy meant to resemble shards of ice. The platinum knuckle guard has a solitary diamond mounted in its center, while elaborate runes near the pommel indicate the magical enhancements. (5th Alturiak, 1352 D.R.)
Winter's Veil
A pure white gown, created from the finest silk and lace in all of Faerûn, hangs untouched in the wardrobe of Alexandra's quarters in Candlekeep. Shimmering silver threads are interwoven into the crystalline bodice and gossamer train; the ensemble is easily something that a noblewoman would wear to a gala. (5th Alturiak, 1352 D.R.)
Winter's Stride
These light brown leather boots are simple but well-made. They have no fancy designs or pretentious markings. The soles are flexible but sturdy, and the heels do not click upon even the hardest of stone floors. Inside the boots is a lightweight padding that keeps feet warm and comfortable. (17th Alturiak, 1352 D.R.)
Rune-Marked Greenstone
This greenstone has a pattern of polished black edges and a unique rune marking on one side. The opposite side features a tree engraved into the surface. The peculiar stone was handed to Alexandra by by Yas Shara for unknown reasons. (2nd Ches, 1352 D.R.)
Christopher
The hardy philodendron was already in the Seeker's Quarters of Candlekeep when Alexandra moved there, but the plant became an odd sort of confidante during the long nights that the young woman worked on reports and missives. Upon her promotion to Guide, Alexandra decided to bring the plant - by now named Christopher in honor of a famed Oghman priest - with her. The touch of greenery upon her desk still brings Alexandra comfort. (9th Tarsakh, 1352 D.R.)
Holy Symbol of Mystra
Upon the silver chain of this delicately crafted amulet is the representation of an eight-pointed star. The symbol is portrayed in polished silver that has been well-tended, although age is evident from small nicks and notches that can be noticed upon closer inspection. (7th Mirtul, 1352 D.R.)
Crimson Blanket
This vibrant cashmere blanket is trimmed with soft black leather that has silver zig-zagged stitches designed to resemble lightning bolts. At the very center of the fabric is an elaborate design of what appears to be a trio of roiling thunderclouds. During the worst days of her illness, Alexandra stayed huddled in this treasured item. (25th Kythorn, 1352 D.R.)
Book of Assorted Poems
A multitude of hand-written, original poems are contained within this tome, which was gifted to Alexandra by Sveta (now Lysander) Asperan. (8th Flamerule, 1352 D.R.)
Alexander Marshall's Prayer Book
An unexpected gift from an unexpected source, this handwritten prayer book was once one of the most cherished of the tomes in her possession. (10th Flamerule, 1352 D.R.)
Renée
The flat of this hand-and-a-half sword was once polished to a mirrored shine, although Alexandra no longer maintains the blade. Down its length, eight stars are etched; the most elaborate one, placed near the cross-guard, is an enameled blue-white one - the symbol of Mystra. Engraved upon the opposite side is the word "Pelhujelt," the Celestial word for "beloved." Next to it is an etched scroll, the symbol of Oghma. Both the grip and the scabbard are wrapped in supple black leather.
Olrich Gaelin left this blade, a gift from the scribe to her first lover, when he left her during her sickness from The Scorched Tome of Oghma. (18th Flamerule, 1352 D.R.)
Unicorn Portrait
An unexpected gift from Endelyon Castillo, this elegant work of art is worthy of display in a fine museum. Instead, it hangs in the private suite used by the Guide of Candlekeep. (19th Flamerule, 1352 D.R.)
Fife of Blasting
A simple but sturdy musical instrument that has magical enchantments upon it, the fife was a gift from Wesmille Groston. (29th Flamerule, 1352 D.R.)
Alexander Marshall's Cloak
This sturdy, fur-lined cloak was the one originally worn by Alexander Marshall and later altered to fit the much-smaller scribe. He gifted the item to her at the height of their courtship. The cloak now hangs at the back of Alexandra's wardrobe. (12th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Sing Proudly
This original songbook was offered to Alexandra by Solwyn Astorio as a congratulatory gift for her new courtship with Alexander Marshall. Its foreward reads as follows:
"Congratulations on your best of days!
And let joy and happiness follow you wherever you go! Don't let my sloppy movements spoil your mood ever again, and be sure to enjoy every moment of your forthcoming marriage!
And last but not least, sing proudly, Reader Keenan.
Sincerely yours, Solwyn Astorio." (13th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Tragic Ones
This original songbook was offered to Alexandra by Solwyn Astorio as both a congratulatory gift for her promotion to Guide of Candlekeep as well as a nameday gift. Its foreward reads as follows:
"Dear Guide Keenan! I haven't congratulated you on your promotion. I hope you will accept this book as a way to do that.
You have indeed earned the promotion. I am convinced that you will do as good, or maybe even better than our dignified Great Reader Lafreth.
I also wish you a happy nameday. Although this present will not surely be as pleasant as your promotion, one thing you can be sure of - it is sincere.
I also have you to thank you for all that you have (and many things that you will!) done for Candlekeep as Seeker, Reader, and our new Guide.
Sincerely yours,
Guard Solwyn Astorio" (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Flawless Diamond
Xelarian Cannister lured Alexandra outside of Candlekeep by telling her that her sister, Alison, was in imminent danger. The ruse revealed a surprise nameday celebration, and the rugged archer presented his gift - a flawless diamond - as a salve for startling the newly appointed Guide. (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Masterwork Flute
Nerruin Ziavuil, the first person Alexandra approved as an Acolyte of Candlekeep after she was named as Guide, presented her with this ornate musical instrument crafted by the renowned Yllanis Loralyassa and stylized after Ghaele Eladrin. (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R)
Carved Wood and Fire Opal Amulet
This amulet features an elegant fire opal embedded into a circular wood setting, which is comprised of three separate sections that each feature a unique engraving. The first, made from beechwood, shows two fishing hooks on entwined lines. The second, created from dark walnut, features the Eye of Neverwinter. The third, formed from red cedar, shows a partially open door.
The piece was a gift from Wesmille Groston, and the images upon it depict various events in their long-time friendship. The carvings themselves were crafted by Michael Dunn. (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Bone Ring
"It is... quite beautiful, yet it seems to have some history to it. It made me think of ye." - Ashan Wayne, upon presenting Alexandra with this replica of an 'Heirloom of Asenath.' (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Light of the Sea
This dazzling Waterdhavian-crafted ring, set with obsidian and a magical blue diamond, was gifted to Alexandra by her sister, Alison, who told the new Guide: "It is a ring of light, because you now, are the light in Candlekeep." (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Dutybound
This ornate greatsword has seen its share of history, for it was wielded by Alexander Marshall during the Amn-Gate War. The man presented the blade to Alexandra as a token of his affection for her. Four days later, he departed the region. (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Oak Jewelry Box
The small but elegant box, which was a gift from Liam the Golden, contains a variety of earrings that the scribe used to wear for special occasions. (27th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
Sickle of Arcane Scholar of Candlekeep's Mysteriousness
"You're always puzzling through mysteries, so when I found that, I thought it would be a good one for you." - Diane Evon, upon presenting a belated nameday gift to the Guide. The sickle bears minor magical enchantments and markings typically used by some of the scholars within the library fortress. The Guide has yet to solve the riddle. (30th Eleasis, 1352 D.R.)
The Book of a Thousand Curses
Nezkreal Sezifear presented to Alexandra an ambitious work - a collection of various regional curses that a person might use to insult someone else. Some favorites include "beef-witted boar pig," "skunk cabbage," and the very peculiar, "Laitae's mother." (24th Marpenoth, 1352 D.R.)
100 Mushrooms - to Kill or Cure
"Amanda has selected a book that she found interesting, which she assumed you would too. She is very interested in books and reading so is very interested in hearing about Candlekeep." - Ameris Santraeger, via letter, explaining a gift sent to Alexandra by one of his children. (21st Nightal, 1352 D.R.)
Amber Bracelet
"Dag has sent you an amber bracelet because he thought it looks pretty." - Ameris Santraeger, via letter, explaining a gift sent to Alexandra by one of his children. (21st Nightal, 1352 D.R.)
Sea Lion Figurine
"Timmy picked out a figure of a sealion. This might seem a bit unusual, but he does like Telia's version of the tale of how the sealion became the symbol of Tethyrian royalty. That tale is, alas, inaccurate." - Ameris Santraeger, via letter, explaining a gift sent to Alexandra by one of his children. (21st Nightal, 1352 D.R.)
A Fine Work of Art
"I also enclose for you a picture Timmy has done. It is a fine work of art, I am sure you agree!" - Ameris Santraeger, via letter, explaining a gift sent to Alexandra by one of his children. (21st Nightal, 1352 D.R.)
Prayer Beads
"I have enclosed some prayer beads, blessed in the name of the One Who Endures. I am uncertain if you have honoured him in prayer before; whether you have or not, if you have need to speak words to him, he will listen as much or as little as is needed. Sometimes it helps." - Ameris Santraeger, via letter, explaining a gift sent to Alexandra. (21st Nightal, 1352 D.R.)
Cherry Wood Jewelry Box
This jewelry case is made from a deep, cherry colored wood. It is engraved with symbols of suns in their various stages. Inside is a small mirror for the user to see how the jewels accent their form, and a gentle melody plays when the crank is activated. Overall, the box is a delicate and simple thing, but one with much thought behind it. It now resides in the back of a closet and never sees the light of day. (14th Alturiak, 1353 D.R.)
Holy Symbol of Lathander
Upon a gold chain is the representation of a sun cresting a hillside. The image is portrayed upon a painted wood surface set with an array of rose quartz and other similar gems that emit a soft pink glow when the sunlight strikes them. Upon the back, two sets of engraved initials lovingly intertwine; the "A's" combine together to become one - "E.A. & A.K." The piece of jewelry used to be worn by the scribe. (14th Alturiak, 1353 D.R.)
Knight Card
The image of a knight is depicted upon a well-worn card from a "Lords and Levies" deck. Upon the back of the card are the following words: "To Alexandra Keenan, I know you are with me always, but may I also be with you. Lathander's Light, Eldarian Al'maire" (14th Alturiak, 1353 D.R.)
Black Rider Quill
A random, thoughtful gift from Diane Evon - just because she recognized the unique name of the weapon and thought Alexandra, a scribe, would like it. (1st Ches, 1353 D.R.)
Black Walnut Band
Gifted by Michael Dunn and Vala Reyer shortly after Alexandra took her clergy vows, this fine ring crafted of lacquered black walnut features a tenet of Oghman faith inscribed upon the outer surface : "Never slay a singer, nor stand by as others do so." (2nd Ches, 1353 D.R.)
Protective Talisman
Tarina Mazir begrudgingly fashioned this non-magical talisman at the behest of Alexandra when the Guide was pursued by the malevolent forces of Scarlett Riddle. Once the threat ended, the young woman added it to her collection of formerly worn items. (16th Ches, 1353 D.R.)
Sapphire's Flute of Charm
At the conclusion of the Scarlett Riddle saga, Sapphire rewarded Alexandra with a special musical instrument - a magically powerful silver flute encrusted with genuine sapphires. (5th Tarsakh, 1353 D.R.)
Portrait of Aeili Azenci
This gorgeous, detailed portrait awaited Alexandra after she exchanged a tearful farewell with her dear friend and mentor, Aeili Azenci. The mystical, magical oil painting allows for two-way communication for a short duration once per tenday. It hangs in the private suite granted to the Guide within the library of Candlekeep. (15th Tarsakh, 1353 D.R.)
Scrap of Parchment
The Guide kept this folded scrap of parchment in an inner jacket pocket that was nearest to her heart. The poem written upon it features multiple mark-throughs and corrections - a flawed thing, to be certain. It now resides in a small box along with other love notes. (29th Mirtul, 1353 D.R.)
Wooden Dragonfly
In an attempt to be nicer and more social, Alexandra finally spent time learning how to communicate with Teris Ynarno. The eccentric fire genasi presented her with a hand-carved wooden dragonfly for the effort. (21st Kythorn, 1353 D.R.)
Wooden Rose
Shortly after he rewarded the Guide for speaking with him, Teris Ynarno gifted Alexandra with a wooden rose - a gesture of friendship. (21st Kythorn, 1353 D.R.)
Silver Mug
This trophy mug, crafted of pure silver, features an elaborate emblem of Selûne and Her tears. Engraved below the image are the words, "To the most comical costume at the ball!" Alexandra received the item for dressing as Rain Dog Dunn during the Mischief in the Moonlight charity masquerade. (25th Kythorn, 1353 D.R.)
Potted Mushroom
During their very first outing together, a trip to the Upperdark, Alexandra told Cosimo Delucca that she preferred live plants over bouquets because bouquets eventually wither and die. The Balduran mage later negotiated with a local cultivator and then presented Alexandra with a potted mushroom along with detailed instructions on how to care for it. The thoughtful gesture surprised and pleased the Guide, and she dotes on the fungus with pride. The yet unnamed mushroom resides in the windowless stairwell closest to her personal suite within the library at Candlekeep. (6th Flamerule, 1353 D.R.)
Oghma: the Lord of Knowledge is most revered, and Alexandra constantly strives to pursue and record more knowledge.
Deneir: the Scribe of Oghma is a fitting choice for a devout scribe of Oghma, and her work with ciphers and codes has only increased her appreciation for the deity.
Milil: the Lord of Song is very respected by the classically trained performer, although she remains reluctant to share her songs with the public.
Selûne: the Moonmaiden granted a boon at a long-forgotten altar, and the scribe has deeply valued the deity after the experience.
Sune: the Guide once felt that Lady Firehair punished her for a past mistake, and Her regional servants did naught but reinforce the concept. Once Alexandra met Cosimo Delucca, though, she bared her heart and soul to Sune and importuned forgiveness so that their love might flourish.
Helm: the Watcher holds a special place within the heart of the scribe, for she was privileged to work alongside some of His regional servants and unravel ancient secrets that allowed His faith to flourish in a modern era. His dedicated, unwavering stance towards His purpose is why Alexandra greatly admires Helm.
Torm: the Loyal Fury is respected in that the scribe has a healthy and mature sense of duty to the people that depend upon her within Candlekeep.
Mystra: the Mother of All Magic is respected, even if the natural arcanist does not fully comprehend the way her own talents relate to the complexities of the Weave. 
Ilmater: the One Who Endures appeals to the often over-worked, under-appreciated Guide despite the actions of some who work in His name. Alexandra finds a modicum comfort in the notion that her personal suffering is what is needed so that Candlekeep can thrive.
Red Knight: the Lady of Strategy is respected, and Alexandra tries to apply practical logic and sound strategy in many of her decisions.
Tymora: Lady Luck earns begrudging admiration despite the fact that the ever-practical Guide places more value on careful planning instead of sheer happenstance. Still, Alexandra has experience enough lucky moments to know that Tymora cannot be ignored.
Hoar: the philosophy of "an eye for an eye" strikes a chord within the Guide, who occasionally finds herself writing prayers to the Doombringer and petitioning for His vengeance upon those who she feels have wronged her.
Lathander: the Morninglord was once admired, but His regional servants have tainted the faith the Guide once placed in hope and optimism and left her with a great deal of bitterness.
Malar: the Beastlord earned the ire of the scribe after she and another fell victim to a savage orc attack during a Hunt. The woman came within a breath of losing her life, and she now bears long-lasting scars both physical and emotional.
Beshaba: Lady Doom simply must be the driving force behind a string of misfortunes in the life of Alexandra - or at least that is how the young woman feels.
