Abstract: We show that the metric structure of morphisms

f c o l o n Y o X

between quasi-smooth compact Berkovich curves over an algebraically closed field admits a finite combinatorial description. In particular, for a large enough skeleton

G a m m a = (G a m m a_{Y}, G a m m a_{X})

of

f

, the sets

N_{f, g e n}

of points of

Y

of multiplicity at least

n

in the fiber are radial around

G a m m a_{Y}

with the radius changing piecewise monomially along

G a m m a_{Y}

. In this case, for any interval

l = [z, y] s u b s e t Y

connecting a rigid point

z

to the skeleton, the restriction

f |_{l}

gives rise to a

p r o f i l e

piecewise monomial function

v a r p h i_{y} c o l o n [0, 1] o [0, 1]

that depends only on the type 2 point

y i n G a m m a_{Y}

. In particular, the metric structure of

f

is determined by

G a m m a

and the family of the profile functions

v a r p h i_{y}

with

y i n G a m m a_{Y}^{(2)}

. We prove that this family is piecewise monomial in

y

and naturally extends to the whole

Y^{m a t h r m h y p}

. In addition, we extend the theory of higher ramification groups to arbitrary real-valued fields and show that

v a r p h i_{y}

coincides with the Herbrand's function of

m a t h c a l H (y) / m a t h c a l H (f (y))

. This gives a curious geometric interpretation of the Herbrand's function, which applies also to non-normal and even inseparable extensions.
