Description

Long chestnut hair is worn loose, in easy curls that frame Brieli's heart-shaped face and tumble down past her shoulders artfully. The same brown tones as her tresses lightly warm her tan skin, color long-lashed chocolate eyes, and darken graceful brows. Cupid's-bow lips curve into a smile often and easily, if sometimes enigmatically. Tall and almost too thin, she has the lean lines and long toughened fingers of a young woman that has seen a day or two of hard work. She dresses the best she can, and to emphasize long legs - usually in tight pants, high boots, and stylish tops to match - but now mostly in the oldest clothes she can find, usually dirtied from weyrling chores.

Background

Brieli's father was a miner, her mother was a seamstress. Her father died in a mining accident - a fairly common occurrence at Crom; her mother raised her until she was about sixteen, when a bad cold worsened one winter. She'd learned most of her trade from her mother already, and picked up a few more skills from helping out where she could - enough skills to make her restless, especially with no ties to keep her near the mines. It wasn't much more than a month after her eighteenth turnday before she left to start over at High Reaches.

WYSK

• Brieli is from Crom Hold, born and bred - however, she's not all that loyal to her former home, and she seemed more than happy to pick up and start over at the Weyr.
• Easy, pleasant conversation is her forte, and she's always been quite interested in learning about High Reaches and her people.
• In Month 10 of Turn 28, junior weyrwoman Lujayn recruited her to stand for Ysavaeth and Cadejoth's clutch. She did stand, on Day 8, Month 12, Turn 28, but did not Impress.
• The next day, goldrider Iolene asked her to be one of eight girls from High Reaches to Stand at Monaco Weyr, whose new gold hatchling would be transferred to High Reaches. On Day 26, Month 12, Turn 28, she Impressed gold Iesaryth on Monaco's Sands, and was brought home within days.

Relationships

• Iolene is someone Brieli trusts as much as she can - with the caveat that she doesn't really trust people at all. She'd like to open up to Io in the way the goldrider has to her, but she's afraid of compromising her plans... and now, she's afraid of what Io might say if she told her any part of the 'truth'.

• Brieli feels somewhat protective towards Azaylia - she would like the other weyrling to feel more confident in her own abilities. She knows encouraging Azaylia could cause her problems in the end, but she can't stop from liking the woman she's described as having 'a good heart' in a world where (she believes) not many people do.

• Some of the time, K'del seems decently reasonable and likable to Brieli. She does enjoy their conversations. But most of the time...

• Brieli likes Quinlys well enough, though she feels a bit awkward now that the weyrlingmaster's sister is a Monaco weyrling, and she's come home to High Reaches with what Quinlys had hoped for Arysanne.

Soundtrack

Seven Devils - Florence and the Machine

I don't want your money,
I don't want your crown,
See I've come to burn,
Your kingdom down.

I Need A Dollar - Aloe Blacc

Bad times are comin' and I reap what I done sow,
Well, let me tell you somethin' all that glitters ain't gold,
It's been a long old trouble-- long old troublesome road,
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load.

God's Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash

Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand,
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man,
But as sure as God made black and white,
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light.
