Name: Bryn Vyriel
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Home: Bryn, being an adult among Elves, lives apart from her family, without a spouse. Her home is located within the branches of a sturdy oak, nothing but a lift and a few interonnected rooms. There are no locks, and it is made entire of wood and vines. Because of its delicacy, very few can walk around the place without falling out or toppling it. Bryn, disliking having to do things over and liking perfection, does not allow very many visitors or company here because of this. Some Elves, though many are not so, are quite clumsy, and Bryn has had that in mind for quite some time. Obviously, Bryn herself is quite the opposite.
Family: Bryn has recently drifted apart from her family, though she does on occasion come visit. Despite her lack of communication with them via speech, Bryn has not forgotten them - and are Elves not renown for their sharpness of mind? However, the young woman is but one of two children that Milane and Dacsen Vyriel gave birth to. Unlike Bryn, who is much more earth-like, her sister Ivory - who was named for the Elven Goddess - is more like, well, 'Heaven'. Fairer and much more delicate, while Bryn is more down to earth and 'tougher', Ivory seems like the opposite of Bryn.
Hair Colour: To go along with her silvan personality, Bryn has the qualities of any such Elf, especially when it comes to her physical appearance. Her hair, though often tangled and mussy, is a dusty brown, curls going down to a few inches below her shoulders. Pulled back into a ponytail with a cord of tough birchfiber half of the time - and almost always when she's hunting or going out - it is quite complementary to her green and brown eyes.
Eye Colour: As said above, the irises of Bryn's eyes are green, with three flecks of brown in each eye. Almond-shaped and ever so slightly slanted, Bryn's eyes are very keen, which makes Bryn's face seem very uniform, and ordinary. Very few people have ever gotten close enough to the young woman for the flecks of brown to be seen, but they are there.
Body Description: Bryn, though very skinny for her age, is quite light on her feet, and because she only curves ever-so-slight in the areas where 'a woman should', the female would most likely be considered twig-like, despite her above average height of 5'8''. Long and lanky, amusingly, would be the best words for Bryn. She has only one scar, which is from her first lesson as a traditional long- and cross-bow archer, when her first arrow richocheted off a tree and flew back at her, slashing her shoulder. Bryn keeps that covered now by a strap of pale, undyed cloth, wrapped across the area.
Appearance (clothes, etc): Dressing in shades of brown, beige, and forest green, Bryn's casual outfits are usually nothing more than breeches, a tunic, a belt of cloth, and some undyed cloth tied tightly around her hands/palms, forearms, shoulder, and calves. She dislikes loose fitting clothing and feminine dress such as skirts and petticoats, as they make it hard for the rather nimble Elven woman to move around.
Weapons: Aside from her cross- and long-bows - strapped criss-cross across her backside with leather cord - and quiver, tied like a sword's scabbard to her waist, there is only one other weapon that Bryn can use. Unfortunately, this weapon - a small bit of earth combat magic that she rarely harnesses for use - doesn't even measure up in the slightest to her abilities as an archer, the art which she has practiced for over a century, from her earliest years to now.
History: Born to an Elven couple of simple origin, residents of Elide, Bryn was one of a set of twins - Bryn and Ivory. There was obviously small competition and fighting between the two, but they got along fairly well, despite Bryn's dreams of being the hero for the Elves when the call for the Elves' Hero came. Traveling to the lands of the human people in hopes that she might be chosen, Bryn was sadly rejected. Taking it upon herself to at least do something for the quest and gain glory in that way, she asked for the privilege to be a companion of Leaf.
Character Strengths: Bryn is a typical Elf, if perhaps a bit faster, and she is very skilled with the ways of the wild, as well as the cross-bow and the long-bow. Sarcastic and witty to say the least, what Bryn lacks in magic she makes up in personality and combat skill.
Character Weaknesses: Bryn, besides being quite sarcastic, has made more than a few enemies via her grudge-holding and lack of 'sportsmanship'. She hates to waste time and is also quite impatient with others, though the young woman enjoys debating and arguements.
Future Ambitions: Bryn, obviously, wants the Elven Prince to be successful in his hunt for the Armour, and she also wants to be by his side as a companion when it happens - not if, when.
