Prickle has patterns of light brown scales freckled across her paler yellow scales, much like her sister. Compared to Palm, she looks more lean and weathered because of living on her own in the desert for two years. She wears earrings made of fire opal that were originally Palm's, but her sister gave them to her for being allowed to stay in her hut for one night while fleeing from the guards.
