Alma Avertin is a stout, middle-aged woman with graying auburn hair, often tied back in a practical bun to keep it out of her face while she works.

Her warm brown eyes, once full of life, now seem distant and weary, though she still offers a gentle smile to her customers. She wears simple, flour-dusted aprons over well-worn dresses, favoring earthy tones and practical fabrics suited for long hours in the bakery. Though her posture is strong from years of kneading dough and tending ovens, there’s a subtle heaviness to her movements, as if she carries a burden too great to fully shake off.
