Brynnalia has a slender dancer's body, although her fingers show the callouses of a bard. Her olive complexion speaks of her love of the sun, and the golden flecks in her forest green eyes usually compliment her jewelry that she is fond of wearing. One can find her either smirking or smiling often, the former offered easily when she is amused while the genuine form of the latter is more rare. But she usually exhibits a cheerful demeanor, for it's easier to disarm a person with a smile than with a weapon.
Scars & Markings: She has a mark painted on one cheek. She does not discuss its meaning. She has another tattoo on her lower back.
Voice: She sounds like Katherine Zeta-Jones in Zorro.
Clothing: She prefers layers of light flowing silk whenever the climate permits. She usually chooses silhouettes that compliment her figure, especially anything that shows off those long tanned legs. She likes looping gold earrings, and especially fancies those with bells for her performances. One of her prized personal possession is a jeweled anklet that has a tiny bell attached to it. She only wears it for public performances, or else it is tucked away for safe keeping.
Even though she was born into a Highlander clan, Brynnalia's mother was a nomad, never content to stay in one place. Brynn inherited this free spirit in both philosophy and her way of life.
Likes
Savory foods. Brynnalia prefers bold tastes and hearty meals, especially if it involves thick juicy steaks and an expensive wine.
Dancing. Her mother was a dancer and watching her graceful form mirror the flow of the music, the love of the dance seduced her at a very early age.
Thunderstorms.There is something about the danger and chaos of roaring thunder, lightning splitting the sky, and the torrential downpour soaking one to the skin. And yet somehow, she finds some peace in it.
Dislikes
Strict Rules. A part of her is always drawn back to her mother's nomadic nature because she has always said that if they stay in one place too long, they will undoubtedly become trapped by the rules and laws of that society.
Bad Music. It hurts her ears, sours her mood immediately, and sometimes even makes her more argumentative.
Snow. While she does not mind the cold, she hates the freezing temperatures that stiffens the joints.
Fears
Loss of Independence.
Poverty.
Loneliness.
Trivia
Favorite Food: Rare antelope steak.
Favorite Drink: Spiced Wine.
Favorite Season: Spring.

Personal RP Limits
■ I will play mature content and themes as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language is acceptable. Temporary injury is also accepted. If you have anything more in-depth in mind, let's discuss OOC! Please send me a tell ahead of time for walk-ups.
■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement or really anything that would affect my character significantly.
■ I won't play permanent death without discussion, and anything beyond what is stated above will need to be discussed first.
Disclaimer
■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.
RP Hooks
Reasons you might be able to start up some RP with Brynnalia.
■ She has worked for many employers before, mostly for the wealthy. Her latest employer was a notorious Monetarist in Ul'dah. She is good at sniffing out information and finding people.
■ She also has a past with the Ala Mhigan Resistance, so those with the movement may recognize her as well.
■ Brynn likes to indulge in fine wine. Merchants and vendors of such things in each city are all acquainted with her.
■ She has had some background in chocobo training. She wields a whip with expertise, although curiously enough she is never seen using it with the birds.
■ Brynnalia also likes to try her hand at gambling now and then. A few illegal gambling rings consider her an infrequent but legitimate patron. She can be found sometimes in the Golden Saucer betting on races.
