OVERALL PERSONALITY: On the outside, Brynhilder is cold and unwelcoming, not the easiest person to get to know. This comes from loosing her father at a young age, leaving her with only her mother, Shock and few friends. Beneath the hard shell, however, Bryn is fun, kind, and loyal, much like a dragon. She keeps a few friends, and will go to any lengths to protect and help them. After her mother's death four months ago, this shell thickened and hardened, but turning her heart softer for others who had lost family members, and often helped them when they needed it. Although, it hasn't stopped her from having a crush...
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Brynhildr is tall for her age (14) at 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing 140lbs. Her hair, which hangs loose about her face, is long and dark brown, with serious, calculating amber eyes. Usually, she wears a leather shirt with metal armor over it and matching pants, but for combat she dresses in full armor, helmet (not usually worn) included.
PLAYBY: ((THIS IS OPTIONAL)) I believe that would be Megan Fox.
HISTORY: In the fourteen years of Brynhilder's life, a lot has happened. Bryn's parents met when they were fourteen, but spent most of the next five years ignoring each other, until they ran into each other in the village while they were running errands. They talked for a while, and from that day forward, they talked more to each other. At the age of 29, they married.
Bryn was born on the 15th of January. Unfortunately, her father died on a fishing trip when she was three and a half, when his boat was attacked by a wild Thunderdrum. Her mother brought her up alone, teaching her everything from basic survival to how to care for a sick Nadder. (Kord, her mother's elderly Nadder often played patient). However, her mother refused to teach her combat, which led to Bryn teaching herself the basics of swordplay at the age of twelve-how to parry, how to hold the sword, and how to thrust. At the age of thirteen, she joined the Dragon Academy.
Seven months later, Bryn had so far failed to find a dragon to bond with. A Deadly Nadder seemed the obvious choice to everyone else, after all, she had grown up with one. But something about that didn't feel right to her, and she eventually turned to the forest. One day, when she was on a walk, she saw a young adult female Skrill defending her catch of fish from some intruding Terrible Terrors. Feeling sorry for the larger dragon, Bryn drove off the Terrors and caught the Skrill some extra fish, offering them to her. Accepting the gift with some obvious reluctance, the Skrill nonetheless wolfed them down but refused to let her get close. Bryn waited, and the Terrible Terrors returned to harass the Skrill. Now irritated, Bryn used her sword to swipe off a few inches of claw from the leader's foot, sending the rest scurrying. Now the larger dragon trusted her more and allowed her to approach. Bryn put out her hand, and the Skrill touched her palm. But as she drew away, an electric shock jumped to her palm, and thus, Shock was named.
Things looked good for Bryn, but tragedy struck her once again. Four months prior, her mother died, leaving Bryn an orphan. Now living alone in the house at fourteen, Bryn used the skills her mother had taught her to make a living, occasionally caring for sick dragons, but mostly running errands for the townsfolk, hunting for the winter food stores (keeping a little for herself), and generally taking small jobs when Viking Training allowed her to. The blow also affected her personality, making her a little more short-tempered and withdrawn, not liking to forge lasting friendships. Friendly acquaintances were about as far as she went. Thankfully, like most families and adult vikings, she never had to worry about the cold, thanks to her Skrill's 12 firepower, making it one good thing to hold on to. All the same, her mother's death left Bryn poorly suited to a normal life.
FAMILY: I am afraid her parents are dead, and since she has no siblings...
WEAPON OF CHOICE: A sword with a normal but slightly stronger hilt, allowing for her to put greater power into her strikes and also use her hilt as a club without damaging her sword. Her sword has a leather grip.
FIGHTING STYLE:
▪ Move fast, strike hard, and fade away. She's better with the viking version of ninjaness then with sustained battle.
▪ She can fight with the reverse grip, and does this when caught on the defensive.
DRAGON (optional):
NAME: Shock
GENDER: Female
TYPE: Skrill
APPEARANCE: Shock is purple with a lighter underbelly and the characteristic ring of spikes on her headplate. Her eyes are the typical yellow of her species. She has a small scar on her snout from a fight she got into with a sibling when she was younger, and she walks with a limp because of that same fight
Image
PERSONALITY: ▪ Optimistic, funny, and sunny, but with a serious side that comes out when Bryn is sad or furious. Shock has a bad side of her own though, and is often moody and quick-tempered around other VIT's or young dragons, not really being that great with kids.
▪ Shock is a young adult, of about 230 years old, she had been out fishing on a routine trip when Bryn found her. Shock is intelligent, patient, and understands the value of experience.
STRENGTHS:
▪ Shock is pretty good about keeping a clear head in a crisis.
▪ Shock is unflinchingly loyal to her rider - and nobody else. It keeps the moral dilemmas to a minimum.
▪ Shock is, as a Skrill, a good fighter. Not the most experienced fighter, not the best. But good.
▪ She has an awesome poker face.
WEAKNESSES:
▪ Shock spends a lot of time on the ground or being ridden by Bryn. This limits or negates the effectiveness of her lightning attack, since frying Berk humans is frowned upon in dragon society.
▪ Shock has a very hard time concentrating when Terrible Terrors are around, as she is highly prejudiced towards them and is always convinced they're plotting against her.
▪ Like Bryn, she can be very stubborn. Not always in the same direction, and not always in the good way, either.
▪ Shock has an old injury that limits her walking ability. If she's stuck on the ground and someone's trying to kill her, she is screwed.
