Lady Braith Mazetti
Your story changes with every step you take, so why should mine not change and grow each time I tell them?
Description: Clouds of black hair fall in a torrentous fluff around Braith's heart-shaped face, hitting mid-back when she doesn't find a way to bind her hair. Her skin is dusky olive, but smattered with tiny dark freckles across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. Her face is a classic heart, her lips dark, her teeth white. She is a flash of energy and flashing smiles, quick and mobile and expressive, and this applies as much to her features as to her body language. Shapely in a wiry, slight way, Braith is a live wire with a warm, throaty voice, slim limbs and long fingers.
Personality: Braith is an animated, lively young woman, full of vim and vigor. Her spirit rarely flags. She tells stories and puts them to music; she yearns for the limelight and owns it with the full power of her panache whenever she can. She loves learning about new things and trying to figure out how to rhyme them. She falls in love easily and often, bright with passion and full of fire; in the wake of her amorous adventures, she tends to castigate her former lovers in hilarious and sometimes ribald song. Witty and sassy, Braith pretends that she isn't at all insecure or lonely, but it's a pretense that doesn't always hold up.
Background: Close cousin to the march and his Voice, Braith was a tagalong as a child. She wanted to get into everything, learn everything, and put most things in her mouth. As she grew older, these urges didn't really change with the possible exception of that last one. She was a constant troublemaker and essentially ended up pawned off on a steady shaman tutor for something to /do/ with her, and it was under this tutelage -- with the occasional rising influence of her grandmother -- that her early aptitudes for music were discovered.
She loved to sing, she loved to perform, and she had a keen sense of rhythm for the hand drum and bells. Other instruments were more of a challenge but she learned several of them anyway, inhaling the knowledge like she sopped up story and song. She began to make up stories of imaginary exploits for her friends and family, putting some to music and chanting them like the ballads of heroes of old, and sometimes just telling them like stories, especially for the younger children of Giant's Reach. It was in this way that her life's path was set as a maker of music and teller of tales: it was the shining passion of her heart, so why not pursue it.
| Name | Summary |
| Aethan | Maybe not the best at catching pigs, but she really goes for it, which is something. |
| Ajax | A kind seeming woman, who seems to try to read a person to a full extent. I do the same. At least she has enough tact not to be offensive about it. Maybe? What in the Abyss do I know anyways. I can't say I dislike her though, just maybe keep her at arms length. |
| Alecstazi | She has a lovely voice and equally lovely manners. Gods be praised, hopefully she has a similarly extraordinary sense of discretion. |
| Aleksei | Bright and clever. A born storyteller. |
| Alessandro | A true musician finds music in the everyday, and can make even the most mundane objects sing. Lady Sanna is clearly that. |
| Alexio | A charming and most amusing woman! I almost hit her with a wagon on our first meet! Also called her a Mistress...she rolled with it and had me fooled for a while, were it not for Sir Jeffeth Bayweather, who knows for how long she would have kept the ruse going on for?! |
| Antea | She seems delightful, full of charm and cheer, unafraid to voice her opinions or to hear dissenting ones in return. Quick-witted, silver-tongued, and beautiful, she is a credit to her House and her family. I cannot wait to see her make her mark upon the world. |
| Apollo | She's all warmth and a sort of scatterbrained playfulness. I don't know how to square that with anything. How does she get on? |
| Arcadia | A breath of fresh air, and a kindred spirit in trouble making. I can't wait to know her better. |
| Aswin | A brave archer. She had a rough go of it, but it didn't seem like she was going to cut tail and run. |
| Bonnie | It may've been with snowballs but she's got a good grasp of what gallantry is all about; making it a little personal in the middle of all the chaos. |
| Brigida | She may have some wisdom about her. At least she can see when a friend is going too far and she tries to help them. |
| Cabrera | She was in a hurry at the time but still made an effort with me after saving her paper. Lucky to have been in the Lady's presence. Very fortunate. |
| Cahal | A story teller after my own heart. Get us both drunk in the middle of a square and I bet we could rustle up a mob by the end of the story. |
| Cambria | She is bright and lively. During our conversation, I found her to have a quick and perceptive mind. It was a pleasant surprise to have made her acquaintance. |
| Dianna | I look forward to knowing you better as my sister-in-law. We needed another sharp-witted beauty to add to our family. |
| Domonico | I can't remember the last time I was as drunk as she was. Maybe in my early years in the navy. At least she has friends watching her back |
| Eddard | Fiery, delightful, a voice that sings in your head and rings in your ears when she is long gone. |
| Elgana | Few things delight me more than a curious, adventurous mind, and Lady Braith seems to be just the sort. She was such an engaging conversationalist too, eager to delve deep into the history of the northlands for answers. I believe we shall be fast friends. |
| Esme | A northern girl come to the south? OH this is a reverse order, but I do believe I love her already. |
| Evaristo | You know how sometimes you meet someone and everything is just like you've known them forever and they like doing JUST the same things as you do? That's Lady Braith. |
| Fairen | One of Cady's friends, very nice and friendly kind of person. Has an easy laugh. |
| Gawain | She definitely takes on more than she can chew. And she walks right into challenges without thinking. Yup...I like her. |
| Giulio | Impressive... oww, fucking arrows. Impressive nonetheless! Theron chose well |
| Grady | Lovely, by which I refer both to the young woman, and the music that she so elegantly plays. |
| Hadrian | Carefree, enthusiastic, and a charm to be around. She also has resolve. Which faced with something that would normally stop another in their tracks, she forged ahead without so much as a pause. |
| Harlex | A sprite, could calm a prowling wolf with the strum of her lute and that voice will stick with me, got no doubt, for a spell. |
| Helena | A good sport who makes losing look graceful -- while being covered in mud. That's quite a feat. |
| Ilira | Pretty and eloquent, and I note an undertone of whimsy. I'll make a point to meet her again. |
| Jeffeth | A lovely lady, a lovely voice, and a lovely song. Though I am very concerned about the bard in her song and I hope to hear of her recovery and road to vengeance soon. |
| Khanne | I didn't get to know here well enough before. Now she is a Mazetti, but thankfully I adore them as well. I am thankful for her trust. She seems like an intelligent woman who has her priorities in place. Well thought out. I like this in a person... and I think I like her. Looking forward to working with her in all manner of things! |
| Kritr | A Mazetti singer. But like all Mazetti, dangerous. A diamondplate lute. Still, I wonder how it sounds. |
| Lucita | Generous with her time and skills in solving a problem our Houses share. She is intelligent and compassionate as is evidenced by her reaching out to rescue some captives. A person well worth knowing. |
| Lysander | It takes a freedom in the world and lack of care to do as she does. I like it. |
| Mabelle | Hilarious and talented performer. |
| Magnus | Owner of a lovely voice and a creative mind, Lady Braith might end up making my exploits with Lady Cady famous through the city. |
| Maja | My sister in curls! She's a Sanna and absolutely lovely. She tells me not to call her m'lady but I cannot help myself -- she deserves the title. |
| Martino | A curious Noblewoman, who did not use her title on first meeting, but she has great plucky nature and managed to bash a Prince in with a lute. If you can get away with that... you can get away with a lot. |
| Marzio | Lady Braith is soon to be family, I hear. She seems to be a good sort. She can certainly roll with all of the banter that is typical of the Mazetti line, which is good for her. It would be unfortunate if she was one of those women that gets offended at the drop of a hat. |
| Miranda | Married into Mazetti like me. In that way, a kindred spirit. I look forward to getting to know this woman who seems to have quite an interesting relationship with her husband. Always fun to find others who can make their husbands falter when it suits them. It's a job, but we love it! |
| Mirk | A Northern bard and my cousin by blood. Doesn't seem like she belongs in a city so much as she does on the open road, but she's making an interesting time of it. I hope to see more of her in the coming months. |
| Modi | I wasn't sure what I expected to find in Lady Braith the day I'd met her. The North taught me that the frigid cold and wild beasts breed people rough, bold and unruly. Yet here is a flower that sprouts from a bed of ice. Where nature blooms in its beauty despite all that surrounds it. I'm glad I met her. I'm more glad to call her friend and peer. |
| Monique | A beauty, and one with a silver tongue. The gods and spirits both know I love a good compliment and she turns them with the best of them. And too, she seems very interested in her history, her heritage. This can only be a good thing. All knowledge is worth having. |
| Morgan | Wow was she ever drunk! Like, in the way I like to be! And she was playing some weird game on top of it, I would have probably fallen into the glasses and broken them with my face. Pretty neat person! |
| Oddmun | While my sister may no longer be in the House, she is always a Sanna in my heart. The frizzled-haired girl is now a mother to my nephew. And I trust her now more than ever with my secrets. |
| Poppy | A talented musician and so bright and easy to talk to. I look forward to many more encounters with her. |
| Porter | Such a talented musician! I wish I had as much musical talent. Always nice to meet someone else with a similar interests and belonging to a family that I've had nothing but positive experiences with. |
| Quintin | A delightful musician. Or at least she seems delightful; I suspect she will remain so. Excellent at maintaining a straight face. I believe her when she says she's mischievous. |
| Ras | I can see why Maja likes her. Was nice to see her in person. |
| Reese | Has an empathic and thoughtful alertness, fine words and hints to a heart filled with joy. |
| Rosalind | She loves cake! LIKE ME! AAAAND, she sings! I will have to think of a song for her and put it on a cake. Just for her! |
| Rukhnis | She seems very.. hearty, and has a grin like a hyena. She displays a commendable sense of hospitality, however. |
| Sabella | A skilled Bard and just as quick with a sharp quip as she is with her instruments! She'll definitely keep Theron on his toes and I wish them every happiness |
| Sirius | A woman whose euphonious voice seems to bend the universe to her very own will; to make the various pockets of silence in a room grow deep and acoustic, and the icy depth of all that survey her and listen melt at the lilting sound. A manifestation of grace and discipline; of hard work and intrinsic talent, coalescing. An alignment of stars, certainly which is all Jayus' doing. |
| Sophie | Friends with Evaristo. Looks fun and carefree. I've got to admire that, even if we seem to be polar opposites. |
| Tatienne | A Mazetti noblewoman, they're Lycene aren't they? That'd explain how she thinks of tumultuous times as opportunities rather than tragedies. |
| Tescelina | A sprite of a woman, free spirited and a beautiful performer. I think she saw my wounds. But I hope she will tell me another tale soon enough. |
| Victus | Lady Braith led her team to excellence at the Halfshav's wedding. She was responsible for zero injuries, which automatically means she won the day with grace. |
| Vitalis | Rumors of her fleetfootedness are confirmed. I'd steal and stalk with her any day. And she brings ginger candy. Very thougthful. |
| Wylla | A thoughtful lady with a gift for lyrics and song. I can't wait to hear her finished composition. It's sure to be incredible! |
| Zoey | A woman of many talents and possessing a sense of humor even in the face of danger. |
