I like that this information about what the MC looks like does not feel forced. It is brought up in a relevant way and gives us the image we were waiting for.
black hair, long and wild against her back, deep tanned skin, a round face, and narrow, ferocious eyes, green like a pond; then, when they got through that, plain with alarm, they’d see more: rough boots, worn from travelling, a fur-lined coat to survive outside in deep winter, and a skirt barely past her knees from being re-hemmed a dozen times. They’d see one word; one Violet had not heard until she left Svalbard:Gypsy.
