[shadow=black,left,300]Basics
[/u][/size][/shadow][/center]Name: a'Briva Tavara Narchrimose
Nicknames/Aliases: 'Briva to those who know her, Bree to friends. She doesn't have any of those, so it's 'Genet' to the common watcher.
Gender: Female
Age: She's a mere child at eighteen years old.
Line of Work: Assassin, and a good one at that.
Rank: Freelance
Race: Questionable. Mostly Sylvan, with other stuff thrown in too.
[shadow=black,left,300]Appearance
[/u][/size][/shadow][/center]Hair: Dark brown, shoulder-length, a little wavy with a side fringe.
Eyes: Amber, with sparks of fire inside.
Skin tone: Pallid, as if she's recovering from a long illness.
Build: Thin and long, but well-built despite appearances.
Height: She's of average sort of height at around 5'7
Scars: Just one, under her chin where you can't see it. Unless you're getting close. And she wouldn't allow that.
Piercings/tattoos: Eurgh. No thank you.
Attire: She likes working with her assassin status. She wears a lot of black leather, tight-fitting, a black cloak for bad weather, an ornate belt for her weaponary. She wears a silver chain with a pendant shaped like a writhing tongue of flame carved from amber, when she remembers. However, don't get comfortable. She's just as happy in disguise.
Weaponary: She's an assassin. What do you think? Hidden about her person are countless throwing blades, knives, a set of nunchucks, a set of brass knuckles and numerous other bits and pieces.
Other: Not that needs mentioning.
[shadow=black,left,300]Personality
[/u][/size][/shadow][/center]Bree is ambitious. Ambition practically defines her. She finds things that she wants, and then she works non-stop until she gets them. She always gets them in the end, though. That can be guaranteed. She can't stand it when people get in the way of her self-assigned tasks. In fact, in her mind, people are a little bit of a nuisance on the whole and should just stay out of the way. Unless she's killing them. Then they're fine to have around.
She's got quite the temper on her, does 'Briva. She'll take any chance to fume and hiss and scold, just like a little cat. But for every moment of anger is a second of private joy, where she's sunny and bright and optimistic. You simply have to catch her at the right moment. For example, when she's found some clotted cream. She loves clotted cream. She also adores cats, challenges and attractive young men (though only to look at. She has trouble making friends). But be warned, some of the things likely to trigger an outburst of rage are faliure, hunger and weakness, amongst other things.
There now. You've been warned. Sometimes she's a sweetheart. But mostly, she isn't.
[shadow=black,left,300]Skills
[/u][/size][/shadow][/center]Strengths: Bree's a phenomenal fighter, strategist, killer and leader. She knows what she's doing and can get people to follow her simplest whims. She's also a very skilled dancer, and plays a mean cello. She's fast, quick-thinking, and deadly. Makes her very good at her job. She's also got a mean, tricky sense of humour, which she uses as much as possible.
Weaknesses: For all her apparent infallibility, Bree has an incredibly weak immune system. A common cold can take her months to shake, and be near-fatal if allowed to grow. Despite that, she always seems to rally, though it is a major shortcoming which she's rather sensitive about. She's also quite clumsy when it comes to people, ruining relationships in an instant. She's rather shy, and tries to defy her nature by being snappish and cruel, which she often regrets.
Fears: Bree is horrendously claustrophobic. Being in a cupboard can set her hyperventilating.
Training: But of course. She's been trained by some of the most noteworthy assassins in Namaha. Would you expect anything less?
Powers or abilities: There are rumours that a spotted genet can be seen where Bree will be a second later. Whether she can shapeshift into this little cat or not remains to be seen. She can fly, or rather, she can glide short distances, and she can also use a little mind-speake when it suits her.
Other: That's for her to know and you to find out.
[shadow=black,left,300]History
[/u][/size][/shadow][/center]It's hard to know what's rumour and what's truth, but the most common and reliable facts about Bree's upbringing and past are these:
She grew up with her father (no mother in sight), who was a rather mediocre con artist as cons went. From as early as two years old, she was being used in his largely unsuccessful scams. She had a younger brother who used to be used too, but he didn't have the same, limpid eyes as she did and was less frequently seen.
When Bree was seven years old, her little brother died. Her father grew less and less competent, drinking more, conning less. By the time she was eight, they were evicted from their hovel, and lived on the streets. When she was eight, she started cutting purses to survive. She joined a gang, which taught her what she needed to know before she left it behind her. She left her father behind too. He died soon after, when she was about ten.
So Bree's reputation grew from strength to strength. She went from conning to muggings in her pre-teenage years, falling out of the limelight occasionally when sickness overtook her, but always returning. When she was fourteen, an assassin saw her potential, and began to teach her. She was a willing, intelligent student, and soon left him and many other tutors in her wake.
How far will she go to be the best? Hard to say. From her history, it can be seen that she has no scruples and even less loyalty. It remains to be seen how she will fare, but the criminal world watches her with an eager eye.
