"I am an ardent watcher, a guardian, an observer. And I have wept for the fate of all life - doomed to the same cyclical suffering at the hands of an uncaring galaxy."

[*]Personality: Brianna is a pompous, chauvinistic narcissist, whose only redeeming quality in her personality is the tender love and affection she showers on those she cares for, Yusana Fenni being one of the lucky few. She is more than aware of her remarkable physique and appearance, and has no qualms about using these to her advantage. Overly confident, her hubris is kept in check only by Yusana's brooding cynicism and her tendency to romanticize events around her - at which she is humbled or reduced to an emotional ball of mush.
COMBAT INFORMATION
- Weapon of Choice: 1x standard-hilt lightsaber (Yellow)
- Combat Function: While an accomplished master of Form VI or Niman and highly proficient in Form I or Shii-Cho, Brianna ultimately does not make for a very masterful duelist. Her focus on the Way of Moderation implies that she is neither an expert at attack or defense, as she prefers to hone her abilities in rhetoric, tactics, and the acquisition of scholarly knowledge about the Force and its applications. She is capable of holding her own, but would wither under heavy blaster fire, or at the hands of a more skilled duelist. It has been theorized by many that she has the potential to be a more than capable Force Master, but most of her energy and concentration is channeled to preserving her youthful appearance against the corrosive degradation brought on by the Dark Side's taint, which to her is a no-brainer: Brianna places far more importance on her looks than being combat proficient.
Brianna and Yusana first crossed paths on Eshan, where the latter stumbled upon Brianna's immense library after the latter took up a job as a junior librarian in her younger years. While at first Yusana thought little more of the older Echani as nothing but a contemptuous eccentric, who preferred to spend her days reading about the Force and the Galaxy than hone any seemingly useful skills, Brianna eventually showed her true colors - despite her being so hard to love as a superior. Brianna is a repertoire of knowledge, and while in no way an mighty Force User, nevertheless possesses the sources, references and records by which one may endeavor to begin learning more about both the Light and Dark side, in both their extremes and excesses.
Their relationship as supervisor and employee ended when Yusana set out to retrieve a holocron for Brianna during her adventuring days, who up until now looked like a decrepit old woman, corrupted by the ruinous powers of the Dark Side. Brianna had read of a holocron that held the knowledge of how to reverse the physically corrosive effects of Dark Side corruption, and wishing to restore the beauty she once had, requested Yusana to set out and find it. In exchange, Brianna offered Yusana unrestricted access to the Black Library, the inner, arcane sanctum of her collection of tomes and data-pads, where secrets to the more arcane and coveted of Force abilities were kept in store. She also agreed to begin instructing the young Echani in the basics of lightsaber combat and general Force abilities, to which of course Yusana agreed. And when she did deliver the holocron, Brianna was ecstatic and immediately granted Yusana access.
Several seasons later however, the Mandalorian raid that killed of Yusana's family and ultimately glassed the entire city also destroyed Brianna's library - only the inner sanctum, which was housed in a Phrik safe with an encrypted blast door, survived the bombardment. Devastated and equally as vengeful as Yusana, she vowed to accompany the younger Echani in her quest to hunt down the Mandalorians responsible and ultimately, scour the galaxy for the true meaning of justice, harmony and balance in the Force. Brianna has since taken the contents of her inner sanctum with her, and has accompanied Yusana wherever she has roamed as an adviser, trusted companion and a guide as the former continues to devour her books - making sure that she learns in the right spirit, and not wantonly in the same way that destroys most Sith, and even most Jedi.
While on their adventures and travels, Brianna's soft spot for older men (given her advanced age herself relative to human standards) and for wild spirits has been noted by many a heartbroken old scoundrel and military officer. She has occasionally expressed to Yusana her desire to eventually settle down and have children.
