Eirini, a 43-year-old Greek woman living in a small rural Byzantine village in central Greece around 850 CE. She has a naturally athletic, sturdy build with moderately broad shoulders, defined but not muscular limbs, and an average body-fat level. She has deep hazel eyes with warm brown, amber, and subtle olive-green tones, and long dark chestnut-brown hair reaching to mid-back, naturally wavy and slightly tousled. Eirini is a village herbalist and healer, accustomed to gathering medicinal plants and preparing traditional herbal remedies. She has a practical, capable, weathered-but-healthy appearance appropriate to a woman who spends much of her time outdoors. She is kneeling on a grassy hillside outside her village, carefully gathering wild medicinal herbs into a small woven basket. She is examining a sprig of oregano closely in her hand, deciding which parts are suitable for preparing a healing infusion later that evening. Several other gathered herbs are visible in the basket beside her. She wears a simple undyed linen shift beneath a loose, ankle-length woolen tunic in muted natural brown, belted at the waist with a narrow leather belt. A rough rectangular wool cloak is draped naturally around her shoulders. She wears a simple linen headscarf loosely tied behind her head, with some of her wavy dark chestnut-brown hair visible. Her lower legs are uncovered and she wears simple handmade leather sandals. A small leather pouch containing herbs and basic tools hangs from her belt. Behind her is a small hillside Byzantine village, with simple stone-and-timber houses and a modest stone church scattered across the slope. Fertile fields, terraced olive groves, wild Mediterranean vegetation, and several goats occupy the surrounding landscape.
