⌘ Sister Brigatina Mana ⌘
Nickname: Bree, Briggie
Age: 22
Race/Species: Dryad
Gender: Female
Gender Identity: She | Her
Sexual Oreintation: Demisexual
Appearance:
Six foot tall with smooth, non-human brown skin, grassy green hair and dark green eyes. Hair will grow flowers depending on mood. Arms and legs can instantly grow helpful vegetation like branches and vines. Parts of her body such as arms and abdomen have rough, yet fancy patterned bark-like skin. Can shape and craft organic dyes from her body to create henna designs on her skin.
Prefers her natural body over anything else so she may literally run through the forest when nude but knows flesh people society prefer all wear clothes. She will dress properly as a busser at the cafe and dancing girl when needed. But Bree will not wear shoes. Just cannot get used to them unless made from vegetation materials.
Personality:
Coming from a family that is constantly helping out in the Archdruid's grove, the Dryad is a hard worker by bloodline. She is very brave and always acts and thinks positively with a 'don't quit' attitude. But that does not mean she is not playful and loves a good joke too because given the opportunity she will fool around. She is quick on her feet and quite agile, but her main and often seen physical activity is dancing. She absolutely loves to dance and to play/listen to music.
Being a Dryad she has no need to eat regular food, but will sit and drink water with others. And she does have a bit of a vice: she likes to eats bugs and get high off of them, especially butterflies. Coming from a purely forest setting she is quite naive and gets distracted easily by things strange and new to her and often finds herself in strange or compromised situations because of her curiosity. She stares and inspects things and has an issue with the concept of ownership of singular items. She also has an aversion to fire as well.
Backstory:
The young Sister is from the Mana Sisterhood of Dryads in the Grove of the Archdruid Pesepholine. Like all other Dryads she was raised communally from a seedling and into the proper caste. Bree is a Rain Dancer. These women were the ones that danced through the forest and moved earth, stone, water and all types of flora during rainy season. They also diverted streams and floods during New Spring to promote growth. If you were lucky enough, you could hear their telltale dance steps as they worked. The keen of ear and attuned could pick out the rhythm when they danced to the sound of rainfall near the grove.
Rain Dancers were also sentinels at the edges of many bodies of water. Bree was one such sentinel taking watch at the mouth of the river when she saw the Hellhounds move in. They were going to kill a clan of pixies that stored the magic pollen they had all collected for winter. If the hounds got hold of the pollen many Fae would be doomed to starve over winter and so instead of going for help, Bree rushed in to stop the pack of Hellhounds. But alone and not being great with water magic, she was easily defeated and her body was cast into the river. Luckily for her since she did have enough magic to use the water to help heal her wounds, but she ended up passing out.
When she woke up next, she had absolutely no idea where she was and no idea how to get back home. She did not trust the flesh people since she was taught of there treacherous and greedy ways when it came to how they treated the forest. But a sweet farmgirl named Anexa Duplos was kind enough to take her into their barn and treat her wounds. Bree knew that she was too far away from the grove and so her wounds healed just as slow as mortals out here. But over the next few months, she learned how to cope outside of the Archdruids grove and even though her magic was much, much weaker out here, she re-learned how to manipulate the elements.
She and Anexa became good friends. The girl taught Bree the customs and ways of the flesh peoples and she taught Anexa dance and music. Quite quickly the Dryad learned the language of the flesh peoples by attuning herself to this land. But in doing so, Bree doomed herself to the fate of a Dryad not tied to a Sacred grove: the young woman became mortal and worse, she could feel the countdown to her demise fall into motion.
Yet despite her death sentence, she would still not give up. There was still time to do what she had to do here before trying to re-trace her path back home. The Duplos family was behind on payments and was going to lose their farm. And even thouht Bree was such a great help around the farm, there was only so much she could do. So the young Dryad decided to find work in the local town and send her earnings back to the family when she came to visit.
In town, she would just busk by playing percussion while she danced. Minimal earnings still did not discourage her. Then one day, by chance, she had gone into Cafe Presbytery out of curiosity. A minstrel played and she decided to dance to the music. A few more patrons were drawn in, just a handful, but paying customers were still paying customers. They stayed till the performance was comeplete and when they left, Bree just helped out due to habit on the farm. She cleared the tables rather quickly and efficiently by growing vines and branches from her body to grab utensils, dishes and cups while cleaning the table, and pushing in chairs at the same time.
She was pretty much hired on the spot as a Busser. But she loves special occasions/times to be a Dancer and percussionist. Her plan is to stay here for a year to earn enough money to help the Duplos family and to save for her journey back home as well. The Drayad knows she cannot get discouraged or sidetracked. Brigatina herself knows that she has but only 7 years left to live.
