Rank: Candidate

Craft: Healer
Craft Rank: Junior Journeyman

Physical Description of Persona:
Brianda is quite simply tiny. She stands a slim five feet even and while well muscled from Turns of chores and a love of the outdoors, she's naturally very slender and as such is not overly well endowed. Her hair is a dark klah brown, very straight and reaches her shoulders. Her skin is pale and freckled and she has a tendency to burn rather than tan. Bri is not classically beautiful but with her small, slim nose, slender oval face and small lips, she tends to look at least five Turns younger than she actually is, a fact not helped by her diminutive height. If it were not for her intensely pale blue eyes, she could easily be overlooked. Having grown up in a Weyr and being tomboy by nature, Bri dislikes skirts and as if to make up for her wallflower tendencies, prefers brightly colored blouses and dark trousers. At most she prefers to wear sandals or even go barefoot when she can get away with it.

Emotional Description of Persona:
If Brianda could be described in one word, it would be steady. Even tempered to the point of aggravating people, she rarely allows herself to show strong emotions, preferring to keep private when possible. Bri is a dedicated people watcher and as such is highly observant and certainly a wallflower. Painfully shy as a child, she is comfortable enough now that she enjoys talking with people but always seems to hang back and keep a careful distance with everyone except her close-knit family. Only with her family and closest friends is Bri open, displaying the sarcastic, bordering on morbid sense of humor that many don't think she possesses. She has a great love of the outdoors and spends as much time outside as possible, often with her close friend and half-brother, Keiryn.

History of Persona:
Brianda was the second of five children born to the brownrider K'efan and his healer weyrmate Breta at Thayan Peak Weyrhold. The family was close growing up and Breta fostered Keiryn, the child born of a mating flight that her weyrmate's brown had won. Keiryn and Brianda were close from the first, despite the significant difference in personalities. Bri was painfully shy as a child and Keiryn was one of the first to get her to come out of her shell. When the earthquake leveled the weyrhold, the family was lucky to lose only one, Bri's youngest sister, Fallon. Having grown up among dragonriders, Bri petitioned to stand at Dolphin Cove Weyr at the age of 12 Turns and Keiryn was quick to follow her. Both have Stood for the last eight Turns but neither has Impressed. Due to the fact that there is no guarantee as a candidate, she also chose to apprentice as a healer during that time. While she wants very badly to join the ranks of dragonriders like her father, Brianda has found that she equally loves studying her craft.
