Sure :) This is my mental image of you, with an attempt to include physical features where I can. It got long ...
In my head, you are the Standard Female Height most women default to in my mental images - five foot six or seven, so an inch or two shorter than me (I'm five foot eight). Your hair is a long, golden-brown cascade, with volume coming from the active movement of each strand rather than sheer dense thickness. You have a healthy colour in your skin, as if you're real and present and not translucent.
Your eyes completely change how you appear when you're acting: I can picture you in lots of different roles, and your eyes are the focus of the distinctive personalities you put on. I can recall you looking very stern and businesslike, earnest and inquiring, skeptical, commanding, and silly, all from the power of expression in your eyes. When you're just being you, I tend to picture your face as being quite quiet but with shrewd eyes; watching and waiting to be animated by your next expression. I picture your eyes without make-up. After your eyes, I think of your mouth: neat and small when serious or restful, but capable of opening into expressive support for whatever emotion or state of mind you feel or portray next.
You are a physically strong and comforting presence in my mind - I can picture you fighting and being supportive and being highly competent at both. You dress neatly and unfussily, and you look comfortable and real in what you wear, and your clothes are practical with a distinctly feminine flair. You have the air of always being capable of dealing with whatever happens next. Your body is very versatile: rather than being specialised for one task, you are fit and able for pretty much anything placed in front of you, whether it requires grace, strength, power, quietness or regality.
You always seem as though you have a strong connection to your body that allows you to use it to reflect whatever state of mind you want it to - you don't seem like someone whose mind is off flitting somewhere while your body fidgets around; instead you can be a quiet, reassuring presence, a commanding warrior striking fear into the player crew, or an engaged, funny and loving person, and that state is a whole and comes together through your expression, your body, your voice, your words and your actions. You never seem dissonant, and that makes social gatherings where you are (situations in which I have a tendency to feel very anxious and exposed) feel safer and stronger. Therefore in my head you are tagged with words like 'safe', 'strong', 'real' and 'present' - the last two being traits that have a particular resonance for me.
