General
Brave Horizon is a member of Ul'dah's lowest social and economic classes, and her appearance and demeanor reflect that fact for the most part. Her clothes are worn and poorly fitted. She is never filthy, but she is sometimes dirty after a day of hard work, and her calloused, scarred hands might be permanently stained. Her speech has a lower-class accent; however, she has a vocabulary that suggests some education.
Brave is of slightly above average height for a Roegadyn. Her body reflects her life as a poor laborer: strong with a well-defined build but somewhat thinner than she should be. Her height and build make an imposing figure. Her bust and hips are quite feminine, though her self-cut hair and lack of makeup detract from her beauty in the traditional sense. The small orange "third eye" gem matches her eyes and is permanent, but any other facial markings are painted on.
Personality
Despite her lot in life, Brave is not an angry or bitter person. She is generally suspicious of strangers. She can be very kind when shown kindness though, and an act of sharing by her (be it food, drink, or stories) is an act of trust. She becomes uncomfortable around people of wealth or power. She does harbor an intense dislike of people who waste what they have.
She spends her sparse free time either drinking (when she has a spare coin or two) or reading. She enjoys reading of grand adventures and naughty romances in equal measure; however, she devours whatever scholarly texts whenever she comes across. She particularly enjoys mathematics and physical sciences.
Brave uses violence only for self-defense. Her work has forced her into a number of small fights. She always attempts intimidation to prevent heated situations from coming to blows, but when that fails, her hand-to-hand skills most often leave her victorious. She keeps a concealed blade on her for more desperate circumstances. She has never encountered anything worse than simple thugs, and she has never killed another person.
Brave's romantic experience is limited to her novels. She finds herself becoming lonely in an emotional sense of late. Occasional one-night stands and short-lived flings with both men and women keep her sated in the physical sense. At one point she considered whoring for income, but the demand for Roegadyns is limited, and her body had been hardened too much by her work.
History
OOC note: The vagueness to allow for possible PC connections.
Brave was born in Ala Mhigo to Hellsguard parents a few years before the Garlean occupation. She is unsure of the actual year: she was old enough to retain only a few vague memories of the city, but nothing more. She was evacuated with a number of Hyur refugees just as the Garleans began their march into Ala Mhigo. Her parents did not leave with her.
She was under the care of Hyur couple for her early childhood, along with a number of refugee children of all races. One of her foster parents was a librarian in Ala Mhigo, which led to Brave's love of reading. The strain of supporting so many refugees eventually overcame her foster parents, and they were forced to send off those capable of working. Brave had the fortune of finding a Sapphire Avenue merchant who had need of a laborer. Her size and strength suited the merchant despite her age, and he hired her for a handful of gil per week and few square fulms of warehouse floor space to call home. As she grew to her full size, she was employed as protection for market stalls or caravans in addition to general labor. She continues this work to this day.
Very recently, she heard a rumor from one of the merchant's drivers that there was a Hellsguard looking for "their daughter" whose description matched Brave, especially the jewelry on her forehead. She was deeply moved upon hearing this, and she has since considered trying to move beyond being hired muscle.
