Carpenter

After years of shaping rough timber, (unit name) remembered each day by the splinters and calluses left in their palms. They measured the path of the saw with their eyes first, and with every pass of the plane, they watched which way the grain settled. Because of that, even when looking at people, they often thought first of the shape that would need long carving and careful fitting.

(unit name) could never easily walk past creaking stairs or a crooked doorframe. They snapped chalk lines, checked measurements, and kept hammering until an unsteady structure found its place again. As the years passed, fixing things with their hands became far more familiar than fixing them with words.

As a carpenter, (unit name) saw shapes within the grain of wood that had not yet emerged. Even when raising a single pillar, they watched where the weight would travel, and they knew well that one small gap could bring down an old house. But because they were used to measuring and fitting everything, their hands were often slow when faced with sudden change.
