Physical Description: |
Briannah isn't a very noticeable person.
Standing at 5'6" with dark blond hair, she's rather average looking, and
she knows this. She a bit bigger then average in the chest area and this
annoys her to no end, so she takes to wearing larger shirts and binding
herself in.
The only special time she gives to her hair is brushing, cutting and a bandanna when she works. The hair is cut just below her shoulders and is straight, though generally a tangled mess in the morning, and it takes lots of 'ouches' to get that straightened out. Her eyes are a grayish blue with some specks of brown in them, depending on the time you see her, they're either near closed or wide open. The later in the evening it gets, the smaller her eyes seem to get. There is a sharp glint in them. A small, slender scar intersects her right eyebrow from when she had a run in with a cabinet at four Turns of age. The cabinet won. Since she rather played with the boys then girls, Briannah has a marvelous collection of faint childhood scars over her knees, lower legs, arms and hands. She's not bothered by it: kids play, and in rough play, they tend to get hurt. Briannah considers her face to be
her best feature, it has a soft look, though her nose is a bit big. Her
face is naturally a bit round and open, when she smiles, her face
lightens up. |

Personality: |
Briannah always used to be a push-over,
uncertain of her abilities and used to be bullied around by peers. Only a few
Turns ago, she started to stand up for herself when she found out that keeping
it inside doesn't help her at all, nor her family. Also no longer a very shy person, she still doesn't like to speak in front of a lot of people, but she will push herself to do so if it's needed, with shaking knees, red cheeks and sometimes a bit of a stutter she will tell what she needs to say. Briannah has one major
fault within her: she doesn't grieve and hardly ever cries. It often is to the
point that people wonder if she understands that that person isn't coming back,
that he or she is dead. However, Briannah does understand this, and she herself
doesn't understand why she is like this, she just is. This young woman has one small quirk. Her
memory is photographic when it comes to things that she's interested in, but
learning names takes her the longest time. She can recalls facts from something
she was taught or read from Turns ago, but in a large group, she has managed to
not get the names correct for months. She needs very little sleep, has even managed to work a good day perfectly alright on just 4 candlemarks of sleep. A splash of cold water in her face and she's ready to go. Which is lucky, because if she needed klah to wake up, she would never: she doesn't like it, at all. Briannah has quite a quick tongue, and doesn´t take too kindly to people feeling sorry for herself. That never helped anyone! What was done was done, nothing more, nothing less. She loves dragons and wants nothing more
then to become a Dragonhealer. Why not a rider, you may ask. Well, she is
terribly afraid of heights, as long as there is something sturdy between her and
the depth, she'll do fine, otherwise she'll get a rather dizzy. On her flight to
Brondir, she kept her eyes closed the whole time, she only did it because she
*wanted* to go to Brondir. |

History: |
Briannah comes from a small family, just her,
her younger sister and their parents. They used to have a mixed breed canine
called Nito with whom Briannah grew up, they got the pup a few months after
Briannah was born and wondrously, the two got along perfectly, though when
Briannah started crawling, the small pup, Nito was smaller then her, used to try
and climb all over her. When Briannah was four Turns old, she and Nito were playing alone, early in the morning and she fell onto the corner of the cabinet, causing a nasty cut across her right eyebrow. She needed stitches, and it left her with the slender scar through her right eyebrow. When she was seven, she was bitten by a canine in her left arm, and has been terrified of dogs, except Nito, for a long time. This only changed when Nito died when she was sixteen and her parents got a rambunctious, over sized canine, which practically forced her to get over her fear of canines. Briannah had many dreams for her future, but one stuck: she wanted to be a Healer, but when she was eleven she saw her favourite uncle, only two years and a bit older then herself, Impress his brown. The girl was captivated. If only she wasn't so afraid of heights, she might have tried to get Searched, no, she went for the second best thing: dragonhealing. Going into the Healercraft, she studied long and hard. Anything to make her dream come true. Briannah fully planned on specialising in the Dragonhealer part of being a Healer, but having a firm base as a whole. Her uncle eventually moved to Brondir,
seduced by tales of the South and knowing her uncle was there too, she took a
momentous leap of faith and actually managed to get a dragonflight to Brondir. |

| Strengths / Weaknesses: |
She loves dragons and will always put
them first. Briannah doesn't care if they're snappish with her,
something she wouldn't take from a human. Her near photographic memory
for words has left her very knowledgeable, but the fact that she still
bungles up names will cause quite a bit of embarrassment. If she ever
has to treat a wound so that she'd have to get on a dragon, it will be
quite a bit of a problem, but she'll do it, leaving her shaking and near
panic, but she'll manage. |
