PERSONALITY
Age: 27
Likes:
[one] Sword fighting, dueling, anything to do with going against an opponent using a timeless weapon
[two] Taking care of Lillian, she’s like the little sister she never had and she will protect her at all costs.
[three] Quiet, solitude where she can rest her mind. She usually goes off riding her huge Shire horse, Finnrey. A bulky horse with a silver coat and black spots with a black mane and tail.
[four] She has a secret obsession with cats if she sees one she goes into a state of fixation. She can’t help it just seeing one makes her feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside which is a shock because her heart is made of metal.
Dislikes:
[one] Bullies, she cannot stand for someone to be pushed around or when there is an unfair advantage.
[two] She severely dislikes snakes. The fact that they don’t have any legs and they can wind themselves about you sets her in a tiff.
[three] The gossip, going around about Lord Hugh makes her a little angry and all those busybodies with nothing to do but spiel idle rumors.
[four] Alice. The fact that she knows about the affair and the fact that she is not upholding the honor and the vows she spoke with her husband makes her angry.

- To make sure that Lillian never gets hurt or used because of the secret she keeps. Protect her at all costs.
- Die in an epic battle; she wants a true warrior’s death. She doesn’t want some silly disease to kill her off.
Fears
- To have Lillian found out and cast aside, not doing her duty in protecting her.
- Dying a meager death and not for those she wants to protect.
- The world going into chaos and no honor or integrity left in the world.
Strengths:
- Very loyal to those she owes allegiance to.
- Skilled swordswoman.
- Honorable, has integrity
Weaknesses
- She can be too honorable at times
- Single-minded to the point of recklessness
- Allergic to cats
Habits:
- Regular training schedule early in the morning and late at night
- Any spare time is put into oiling her metal making sure it doesn’t rust.

Overall Personality: She is one of those old souls one could say. She feels honor-bound to protect those she is loyal to, defending them at all costs. Usually she is a very serious person considering she is the bodyguard to Lady Lillian and in the Service of her father, Lord Hugh, the only time she goes sappy is when she spies a cat. She never smiles unless towards Lady Lillian. Also, she likes old war hero stories and can be found once a week at a tavern listening to tales of old heroes. Her favorite is King Arthur and she always thought it was a pity that she couldn’t be a knight of the round table.

HISTORICAL FACTS
Birthplace: Goldsbloom Sector
Parents: Lord Robert and Lady Annalease Goldsbloom
Siblings: Artur Goldsbloom (Younger brother)
Education: Tutors until the age of ten and then it was all on her own guidance to learn.
History:
She was born a noble into Goldsbloom and her parents were very loving. She was the epitome of a perfect young girl until the age of ten when she scrapped her chin and her skin fell off her jaw revealing the metal hiding underneath. Next came the skin off her neck and torso then it was her fingers and feet.
Her parents were horrified that their darling girl had become a monster! So it was either be casted aside like their daughter and cast her out of their family and forget she even existed. They decided they didn’t want to be associated with a monstrous daughter and so Braid was cast aside. Her parents then had another child who held none of their former daughter’s attributes. He is now 17, same age as Lillian, whom she protects.
After several years of struggling to gain her parents attention and trying to make herself worthy of the Goldsbloom name she soon realized it was worthless and gave herself a new name. When she was about 17 years old Lord Hugh found her, he remembered her from when she was younger and she would come and visit with her parents. He offered her the position of being the bodyguard of his only child, Lillian. Lillian has to wear a patch over her eye because she has a metal eye if anyone were to find out it will be horrible for Lord Hugh and Lillian. She has come to look at the girl as the younger sibling she never had. As for her parents when she is near their company she ignores them and they do likewise.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE
There she was the mother she still longed for Braid thought as she glimpsed at a woman with chestnut curls pinned at the nape of her straight neck. Dark brown eyes glanced her way and seemed to see right through Braid and Braid felt a pang of sadness.
It was almost like the day that changed her life forever.
She was around ten; she was in one of her best dresses a deep burgundy with ruffles around the bottom and sleeves.
It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight. Her mother and she had gone to take a stroll in the courtyard. Braid was running towards her mother excited about the flower she found and rushing to give it to her mother.
She was not watching her step and tripped upon the hem of her favorite dress and landed on her hands and her chin hit the cobblestones with such a force it made her howl in pain. Her mother rushed towards her and then gasped as she saw the skin hanging off of her daughter’s chin revealing not red flesh, but gleaming steel.
It was then on that day that her world changed forever and she was cast out of her home and had to struggle to survive until Lord Hugh came and let her into his home.
Shaking her head, trying to rid the memories from her brain she walked straight past the woman that had meant everything to her and made her way towards Lillian’s side, “Ready for tea?”
