1) Cei takes her Aëonite vows of modesty very seriously. Consequently, none of the group members have actually seen her hair, except the ones who knew her before she joined the Church.
2) The Purifier-Generals' uniform: intended to intimidate, but surprisingly functional for covert operations. Blackened steel that doesn't catch light, the feared mitre-helm with its visor cutout in the shape of Aëo's holy symbol, and the flame-red stole with the Supplication to Aëo embroidered in Old Lenglic (worn by all clergy). As Cei is the first female Purifier-General in seven hundred years, a new suit had to be forged specifically to her measurements, causing grumbling in the order about how she was burdensome from her very first day.
3) Standard raiment for women in Church service, and what Cei wears when off duty. The wimple usually buttons up over the wearer's nose and mouth, to remind women of their vow of silence. This has always annoyed Cei, and since taking the oath of the Purifiers, she never wears it thus.
4) The Purifiers' instruments of questioning. Even before recent events, Cei made it clear that she took no joy in that aspect of her duties, but she still carries them.
5) Healers' kit. Cei is a competent enough mundane healer.
6) Rope (always handy).
7) Ren and Bartholomew would recognize this as a pocket knife belonging to Cei's long-deceased twin brother, Leofric.
8) A pearl brooch. Very out of place; Cei avoids finery of any sort. Never glimpsed outside the bottom of her pack.

9) Ink and quill; Cei is constantly writing in her various scrolls and codices.
10) Cei's worn-into-near-illegibility copy of the Aëonite Scriptures, filled with margin notes, bookmarks, sections she herself appended with musings, meditations, and revelations.
11) Cei's trusty longbow. Purifiers are trained for ambush and covert operations rather than out-and-out combat. Nonetheless, in her time studying the martial disciplines, many of her cohort saw fit to mete a disproportionate amount of sparring injuries on the lone quiet girl clearly of noble birth. Cei fulfilled the bare minimum requirements on the sparring field and instead threw herself into archery training, and consequently is a very skilled markswoman.
12) Keen, well-crafted dagger, the finest work of her House's estate's smith.
13) Cei has taken the finial from Charl's chaplain's staff, recovered from the depths of Blackhall, and affixed it in the place of the pommel from Asher Bastien's beautiful and magically fortified longsword. She has mentally named it Verlosser (this means "Redeemer" in Old Lenglic).
14) Dried apples. House Llanwich's land is known for its apple orchards; they are Cei's favourite snack and she's rarely without them.
