Brìghde nighean Àine
Formally styled: Brìghde nighean Àine
Age: 71 standard years (appears mid-twenties)
Species: Arsenian
Gender: Female
Height: 1.73 meters
Weight: 64 kilograms
Force Sensitive: Yes — subtle, innate Arsenian attunement; untrained
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Brìghde is physically indistinguishable from a human woman at a glance. She is lean and athletic, her build shaped by discipline and repetition rather than bulk. Her dark auburn hair is typically worn tied back or braided simply to keep it out of the way, and her grey-blue eyes are observant and steady.
She favors practical civilian clothing in muted tones, chosen for function and ease of movement over display. What tends to stand out most is not her appearance, but her stillness — an economy of movement and a calm presence that persists even under stress.
INVENTORY
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Brìghde is thoughtful, composed, and quietly observant. She prefers understanding systems to managing people and preparation to improvisation. She speaks carefully, often after deliberate consideration, and is more comfortable listening than leading a conversation.
She believes stability is something intentionally built — socially, structurally, and personally. Spectacle makes her uneasy, and she has little patience for performative authority or reckless decision-making. Though reserved, she is deeply loyal once trust is earned.
Culturally, she respects Arsenian traditions and maternal lineage, though her faith is practiced more through reverence for continuity and memory than formal ritual.
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
HISTORY
Brìghde nic Aelin was born on Arsenae into a household defined by knowledge and design rather than authority or warfare. Her primary mother was an educator and historian who taught Arsenian ethics, survival doctrine, and the importance of cultural memory. Her bond-mother worked as a civic architect, shaping public structures and urban spaces intended to endure stress and failure.
Surrounded by lessons in reasoning and design, Brìghde learned early to view the world as something constructed rather than assumed. Her interest in technology developed later as an extension of architectural thinking — programming and systems design becoming another way to build invisible structures of stability.
Like all Arsenians, she completed a decade of mandatory service, gaining discipline and physical conditioning without embracing a life defined by conflict. Afterward, she chose to leave Arsenae and apply her skills offworld, working as a systems engineer and infrastructure analyst wherever stability was failing or quietly required.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

STRENGTHS
- Systems Thinking: Brìghde excels at understanding how individual components interact within a larger structure, allowing her to identify weaknesses, redundancies, and points of failure quickly.
- Patience Under Pressure: She remains calm and focused in prolonged or high-stress situations, making measured decisions rather than reactive ones.
- Discipline & Endurance: Her Arsenian upbringing and mandatory service have left her physically resilient and mentally steady.
- Analytical Precision: She approaches problems methodically, rarely overlooking small but critical details.
WEAKNESSES
- Emotionally Guarded: Brìghde struggles to articulate personal needs or vulnerabilities, often defaulting to silence rather than risk emotional exposure.
- Slow to Trust: She requires consistency and time before placing confidence in others, which can be mistaken for detachment.
- Avoids Direct Confrontation: She prefers structural solutions and may hesitate when conflict demands emotional engagement.
- Limited Force Use: While Force-attuned, she lacks formal training and does not rely on it instinctively.
