Personality
Description:
Braenna, a spy and assassin in the king's court, is anything but weak. Beneath her emotionally cold exterior lies a powerful force, one that commands respect and fear among those who cross her path. With a confidence that radiates from her every move, she navigates the treacherous waters of court politics and intrigue with a snarky remark always at the ready, her quick wit serving as both a shield and a weapon in a world where betrayal lurks in every shadow. Her focus is razor-sharp, driven by an unyielding determination to accomplish her objectives, yet this very intensity breeds a profound distrust of others. Loyalty is her guiding star, but it is overshadowed by an ever-present fear of being forgotten, a haunting reminder of her past that lingers like a specter.
Braenna's reputation as one of the king's most formidable trainers for young and inexperienced guards and spies precedes her; she is known for her uncompromising standards and relentless work ethic, pushing her trainees to their limits until they emerge stronger and more capable. Her flexibility allows her to adapt to the shifting dynamics of the court, but it comes at the cost of emotional vulnerability, creating a barrier between her and the very people she seeks to protect. Guilt weighs heavily on her heart, particularly the fear that her lethal touch might one day harm someone she loves—a burden she carries like an anchor, dragging her deeper into solitude, making it increasingly difficult to form connections that might illuminate her darkened world.
Her protective nature is most evident when it comes to her younger brother, Lory. For him, she would willingly lay down her life, a testament to the fierce love that burns beneath her hardened shell, a fire that fuels her resolve to keep him safe from the dangers that surround them. She often finds herself at odds with her instincts, torn between her desire to shield him from the dark realities of her world and the knowledge that her very existence poses a danger to those she holds dear. Despite her solitary tendencies and reserved demeanor, Braenna is a complex tapestry of contradictions; she is seductive and persuasive, using her allure to manipulate situations to her advantage, yet she is also quick to anger, her hot-headedness often leading her into confrontations she could easily avoid, where her sharp tongue can cut deeper than any blade.
In her interactions with others, she remains distant, viewing mistakes with a critical eye that leaves little room for compassion. While she possesses a commanding presence that demands attention, her introverted nature often makes her hesitant to connect on a deeper level, fearing that intimacy may lead to vulnerability. Each decision she faces is met with a careful, logical analysis, prioritizing facts over emotions, yet this methodical approach sometimes leaves her paralyzed, unable to act when the moment calls for spontaneity, caught in a web of her own making, where the very traits that define her also bind her.
Braenna is a thinker, always observing, always questioning, driven by an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. She studies the intricate dance of power and ambition, recognizing that knowledge is an invaluable weapon in her arsenal. However, her individualistic spirit can also be her greatest downfall, leading to a sense of isolation that she struggles to reconcile with her yearning for connection. In her relentless pursuit of excellence, she often finds herself trapped in a cycle of self-doubt, unable to move forward from past mistakes, each one a ghost that haunts her as she continues to walk the fine line between loyalty and self-preservation.
As she moves through the grand halls of the castle, the weight of her choices often feels suffocating, the echoes of her past decisions reverberating in her mind. The laughter of courtiers and the clinking of goblets at lavish banquets serve as reminders of the life she has sacrificed for her duty. While others revel in the joys of camaraderie and trust, Braenna remains an outsider, observing from the shadows, her heart yearning for the warmth of companionship while knowing full well that her path is one of solitude and sacrifice. Each mission, each encounter, is a reminder of the delicate balance she must maintain—between the fierce loyalty she feels for her brother, the burden of her own past, and the ever-present threat that looms over her life as a spy.
In this intricate game of survival, Braenna must find a way to navigate her own tangled emotions, learning not only to embrace her strengths but also to confront the vulnerabilities she has long buried, forging a path forward that honors both her fierce spirit and her deep-seated desires for connection, all while remaining one step ahead of those who would seek to exploit her weaknesses. The journey ahead is fraught with challenges, but within her lies the potential for transformation, a chance to redefine what it truly means to be strong in a world that often demands the opposite.
Appearance
In simple terms, Braenna's appearance doesn't fit whatsoever with her fiery, hot-headed temperament and instead looks innocent yet seductive. Standing at 5'6" feet tall and weighing about 130 pounds, she possesses a slim yet curvy figure, characterized by her larger hips that the older townspeople often describe as "childbearing." This curvaceous lower half is seamlessly complemented by a torso that dips in slightly, revealing a flat stomach that showcases the soft lines of muscle developed from her assassin work. Her larger bust, paired with squared shoulders that she holds back in an air of confidence, gives her a perfect hourglass shape, while her long legs, toned and graceful, seem to carry her with an effortless poise that draws attention wherever she goes.
Her hands are equally captivating, featuring longer willowy fingers that are always impeccably manicured, adding to the allure of her overall appearance. Braenna's lightly tanned skin has a natural glow that seems to radiate vitality, marked by a few delicate freckles across her face and shoulders, which only enhance her youthful charm. Her skin is remarkably free of blemishes, allowing her natural beauty to shine through without the need for heavy makeup.
When one looks at her face, it is nearly symmetrical, shaped like a diamond with high cheekbones that catch the light and a softer yet defined jawline that adds to her striking features. Her nose is slim, tapering gently to a slightly upturned button shape at the end, giving her an air of playfulness. Braenna's lips are perhaps her most enchanting feature; they form a perfect plush cupid's bow, tinted in a light pink that seems to beckon for attention.
Her eyes, big and siren-shaped, possess a slight upturn at the outer corners, contributing to her overall seductive look. Long, thick dark lashes frame her mesmerizing eyes, which boast pupils of a regular black hue but are set against irises of a peculiar shade of periwinkle, a striking contrast that captivates and intrigues anyone who dares to meet her gaze. Her brows are thick and well-shaped, arching sharply above her eyes, almost black in color, which adds intensity to her already arresting stare.
On the rare occasions that she chooses to wear makeup, it is always immaculately applied, often to the point that it appears as though she is wearing none at all, enhancing her features without overshadowing her natural beauty. Her gorgeous thick hair tumbles in wavy locks nearly down to her waist, an odd shade of very light silvery blonde that glimmers in the sunlight, with lighter highlights interspersed throughout, giving her an ethereal quality that is hard to ignore.
Wings- when needed- will make their way from her shoulder blades. Representing more of a bird's pair of wings, they are covered in elegant white feathers that seem to glimmer in the moonlit night and the radiant sun. She has a wingspan almost twice her body's height and may use these wings as a form of defense if she feels threatened, wrapping them around her body in a sort of dome or cocoon.
In a world where beauty often comes with a price, Braenna stands out not just for her lethal appearance but for the intriguing contrast of her fiery personality that lies beneath the surface. She embodies a captivating duality—innocent yet seductive, fierce yet approachable—making her not only a stunning figure but also a complex individual whose presence leaves an indelible mark on all who encounter her.
Court-Inspired Style:
Braenna's fiery and seductive personality is unmistakably reflected in the clothing items she chooses to adorn herself with. Her wardrobe is a vivid tapestry of colors, textures, and silhouettes that capture the essence of her alluring nature. However, this vibrant expression of self comes with its own set of challenges; due to her skin's lethal touch, she must navigate a world where physical contact can be deadly. Despite these limitations, she skillfully curates her style to make it work, transforming potential obstacles into opportunities for creativity and flair.
When she is in the presence of others who are aware of her dangerous gift, or when she has a specific target in mind, Rae gravitates towards more revealing clothing that embraces her aesthetic. Her strapless gowns flow like water around her form, willowy and elegant, often featuring a plunging neckline that accentuates her curves and draws the eye. This particular style embodies her comfort zone, a bold declaration of her confidence that simultaneously whispers the message, "look but don't touch." It's a delicate balance she strikes — inviting admiration while maintaining an air of mystery and danger.
However, there is a different side to Braenna that emerges when she is surrounded by those she trusts, those with whom she has cultivated a genuine connection. In these moments, her attire shifts to more conservative pieces, often comprising black or white gloves that add a touch of sophistication while serving a practical purpose, long sleeves that provide coverage, and athletic pants crafted from the finest materials that allow her to move with ease. While this more reserved style is not her favorite mode of dressing, she finds solace in knowing that her choices are motivated by a commitment to keeping her loved ones safe. There is no room for doubt in her heart; she would sacrifice her own comfort to shield those she cherishes from harm.
This adaptability is one of Braenna's many strengths, allowing her to navigate the complexities of her existence with grace. She possesses a unique talent for making even the most utilitarian pieces appear elegant and meaningful, a skill that sets her apart in the world of fashion. The colors she adorns herself with vary widely, reflecting her dynamic personality and the ever-changing environments she inhabits. As she traverses the different fae courts for her work, she adapts her wardrobe to align with the specific aesthetics of each realm. When inside the boundaries of a particular kingdom, she dons their court colors with pride, embracing the culture while still infusing her personal flair into the ensemble.
Ultimately, Braenna's relationship with her clothing is not merely about fashion; it is an extension of her identity, a reflection of her inner fire and strength. Each garment she wears tells a story, a narrative woven from threads of seduction, danger, and resilience. Whether she is captivating an audience with her daring gowns or protecting her loved ones with her more practical attire, she remains a force to be reckoned with, a woman who knows how to wield her style as both a weapon and a shield.
Abilities & Court Powers
Fae Powers:
Intangibility ↧
This ability is the word itself's exact definition. Braenna is impossible to be touched... she can't be touched. Any contact to a living being via her skin will cause immense pain and suffering for the time in which she continues touching them, plus 3-5 minutes later. As you can probably imagine, the young woman's birth sent her mother through excruciating pain- resulting in her mother's unfortunate death. You could also imagine that since she figured out what her power was exactly, she found ways to adapt. Her father was the one to create her first gloves, as he thought she could kill things with simply only her hands... but after a few nearly fatal attempts of comforting the young girl after deaths occurred via her ability- like their pet dog, Levi...- the word eventually spread that her touch, nonetheless her skin was deadly, people tended to stay away from her. It's actually quite sad how quickly the young girl got used to the way people would shy away from her in the village streets or how mothers would warn their children away, but she did and actually used her ability a bit more than that's healthy now...not that it ever was. Still, she does have a lingering, deep-rooted fear of hurting someone she cares so deeply for resulting in her distant nature.
Mind Control/Possesion ↧
This ability is just a very subtle prodding or persuasive sentence that rarely works. Braenna's control of the power is very weak at the moment, as she only just discovered that it existed within her moons ago. This ability rarely works and she often has to result in her seductive nature, but it happened a few times in which the person receiving the "command or suggestion" from her does exactly how she states the prompt. Take for example; one boring afternoon Rae had taken a quick trip to visit her little brother, Lory. She doesn't remember exactly how it came up, but she ended up telling him to dump his glass of cold milk into his hair... he did it. It was actually quite disturbing really, he had gotten this blank expression- his eyes had gone slightly foggy as he looked blankly ahead as he poured the cool liquid onto his head. After he had set down the glass however, he seemed to snap right out of it- he was confused and after he had realized that there was milk spilled onto his head, he started sobbing. Rae, being the wonderful big sister she is, comforted him of course but similar things like this started happening more regularly and Braenna has even tried to incorporate it into her work, only being successful a couple of times. She does expect it to get stronger as time goes on, but for the moment Rae just thinks its kind of weird.
Hidden Talents:
Martial Arts/Combat Techniques ↧
From the age of fourteen- when Rae's father was enlisted to be a soldier and was rarely seen- this young woman started her infatuation with combat skills, specifically martial arts. Her father would return home maybe once a week to spend time with his family and show Braenna the baselines of every combat move/skill she now uses in her profession. Her swift movements and stealthy persona only enhance her talents. She will often be found training in the early morning and has been one of the king's greatest trainers for younger, inexperienced soldiers and spies- earning her a well-known reputation inside the Night Court's walls.
Master Seductress ↧
In a world where desirable items are hard to receive, Braenna has learned to adapt. She has been known to bend men and women alike to get what she wants- almost always being successful. She'll lead them on with a suggestive wink or smirk and use her appearance to her great advantage. She will lead them to believe they are truly and most utterly desired, often asking for smaller trinkets or other items before going for what she's using them for. Once they've been absolutely and completely entangled in her web of seduction, she will use them as she pleases. For money, food, housing, protection, etc. This talent is a true gift...but also something that could be dangerous.
Spying/Assassination ↧
The darker side of Braenna. Unfortunately, this young woman has had many instances in her lifetime where she has either needed to defend herself or others. Her ability makes it much easier to do this- when she was younger, Braenna learned that she could cause immense pain and suffering, even death. Later on in her life, the king of the Night Court found this to be true and ended up hiring her as one of his personal assassins. The job came with the easy ability to sneak around and eavesdrop on others- leading to her powerful and still growing skills as both one of the king's spies and assassins. The job pays well- what can she say? And they're usually someone Braenna sees as bad anyways.

Mate Bond Preferences:

It'd be just horrible if someone from a rival court ended up being her mate...;)

Additional Information
History:
Braenna's life was cursed the moment she left her mother's womb. The woman's ability was strong the moment she was born into the world, and her mother paid that price, unfortunately passing in childbirth because of her baby's lethal touch. Growing up, you would expect the rest of her family to be loathsome of her because of this fact, but it was actually quite the opposite. Rae's father attempted oh so many times to help her harness her ability, so much so that when he wasn't working, he was with her, guiding her through the tempest of her powers. He would sit with her in the garden, teaching her about control and how to channel her energy into the earth, so it would not harm anyone. His patience and love were a balm to her troubled soul, and in those moments, Braenna felt a flicker of hope that perhaps she could master her gift rather than be a slave to it.
It was on Rae's 14th birthday that her lovely stepmother of seven years gave birth to a baby boy. This would be Braenna's little brother, Lory, and she absolutely adored him. With his big, innocent eyes and infectious laughter, Lory brought light into the corners of her heart that had long been shrouded in darkness. They grew up together, sharing secrets and dreams, and now every time Rae came back home for a visit, he was the first to jump into her arms, filling her with a warmth that made her forget about the shadows that loomed over her life. Their bond was unbreakable, and in Lory, Braenna found a reason to keep fighting against the tide of despair that threatened to engulf her.
A few years later, her father was deported to the king's army and was killed in action. The news struck like a dagger to her heart, severing the last ties she had to a normal life. Her world had come to a stop; she had lost her father and her mother, and with them, the foundation of her existence crumbled beneath her. The grief was suffocating, and the days turned into an endless cycle of numbness. A couple of years passed in this sort of distant depression, where laughter felt foreign and joy was a distant memory. It was in this dark period that the king's men came to her with an offer—an invitation to serve as one of his personal assassins and spies, a role she had never imagined she would inhabit. Desperate to escape her sorrow and to provide for Lory, she graciously accepted.
Embracing this new life took time; the killing and crime felt like a betrayal to everything she had been taught about compassion and love. Yet, with each mission completed, she found a sense of purpose that had been missing since her father’s death. The money she earned was enough to keep her remaining family safe and healthy, and Braenna discovered that she could wield her abilities not just as a curse but as a weapon for survival. She learned to navigate the dangerous world of espionage and assassination, honing her skills in silence and deception. Each target was a puzzle, a challenge that required her to tap into the darkness she had long feared, and as she did, she felt herself growing stronger—both in power and in resolve.
With every successful mission, Braenna forged a new identity, one that balanced the love for her family with the darkness of her deeds. The duality of her existence became a tightrope walk; she was both a protector and a predator, and though the weight of her choices pressed heavily upon her shoulders, the thought of Lory's laughter kept her grounded. In the depths of night, as she lay awake contemplating her path, she found solace in the belief that every life she took was a step towards ensuring her brother's safety. Braenna was a warrior, shaped by loss and rebirth, and she would stop at nothing to keep her family from the clutches of despair once more.
