.:Physical Appearance:. Bree is a tall and striking woman, with a shapely figure that she makes no effort to either enhance or hide with her dresses, made of light, simple, comfortable materials that allow for easy movement and little noises. Her hair falls in long ebony waves, kept in neat precise styles, usually in a bun or a plait – she doesn't go for hairpins much. Her simple, elegant style befits her status in the court, but isn't extravagant like some. Instead she lets her posture and the glares from her piercing blue eyes do the work for her...just the straight, alert way she stands gives the impression that she was perhaps a little bit further up the chain than a mere courtier.
.:Height:.5ft8
.:Portrayed by:. Anne Hathaway

.:Personality:.Bree is cold, possibly colder than the ice she likes to play with. She grew up an introverted child, silent and calculating, and is known for although being polite, very concise and with undertones of sarcasm. She comes across as an unfriendly person, quite simply because she is. She doesn't like people. She prefers everything but people, and if it weren't for her desire to know everything that goes on – shifts in power, any hint of sorcery being permitted, she'd vanish into the countryside and live in peace.

But, gain her respect, and she's a friend for life. It's not something easily gained, you have to really prove to her that you're worthy of it, but once it's there, then you have a powerful ally. She doesn't believe in romance, except as a weakness of the heart that could be used, but then again, she's never let anyone close enough to her to establish that sort of bond. Perhaps the ice of her heart would melt under the right circumstances – but she'd never admit it, or accept that she would permit it to happen. Most people just see a somewhat mysterious, haughty noblewoman that no one knows too much about, then take a look in her eyes and decide they don't want anything to do with her...which is perfectly alright with Bree.

.:Strengths:.
- Bree grew up away from Camelot and was permitted to learn archery, which she pursued with relative enthusiasm
- She keeps her head in a situation, remaining cool instead of flaring off
- Witty: If she's going to talk to you, expect sarcasm and replies that don't tell you much
- Trustworthy: She won't double-cross you, and if she makes a promise, she'll keep it
- Emotionless: Bree gives the appearance of not giving any sort of damn at all, except for a moderate dislike of everyone.
- Her eyes: Bree's eyes are very piercing, like they look through you and out the other side, having a nose around inside you to find out what makes you tick.

.:Weaknesses:.
- Bree is practically always alone, which could technically be a hazardous thing. She has no remaining family, and no friends left to speak of.
- She doesn't make friends easily in the slightest, which means that people do not usually wish to tell her things
- Foreign: She comes from Ireland, which makes her a stranger in Camelot, and the knowledge she was sent from the court there to liaise with Camelot
- Promises: Bree does not take her promises lightly. If she swears something, she will follow through, no matter the consequences.

.:Magic Abilities:.
Trained as a Priestess of the Old Religion, Bree possesses skills with water, air and a little earth magic, specialising in ice. She can mould these to her whims, and control them with the ease with which an author might a quill. However, she posses no skill with fire, because it clashes too distinctly with her water magic. One of her favourite pastimes is crafting the little glass statues out of sand that are set on her mantelpiece.
.:Special Skills:.
Aside from her elemental training, she possesses good horsemanship and archery, and would make a good hunter. She also speaks fluently in Gaelic, the language of her home country.
.:Accents:. Irish

.:Birthplace:. Dublin, Ireland
.:Family:. Alyssa White (deceased), Michael White (deceased). Brother: Alexander White (Missing, presumed deceased)
.:Occupation:. Irish delegate
.:Current Location of Residence:. Room in the castle
.:History:. Brianna grew up in Ireland, daughter to a Nobleman, child of an elementalist. The ability to work in harmony with her surroundings was passed on to her daughter, encouraged and developed through the years, resulting in her enrolment in the Old Religion, not banned in Ireland. It was seen as an advantage to be able to defend your people with earth and fire – or in Bree's case, Air and water. Her brother Alexander gained an affinity with the more destructive fire magics, and was experimental and reckless. Like setting the house which they lived in alight. Had Bree been there, perhaps the whole building wouldn't've burned down, perhaps she would have been able help Alyssa put the fire out. Perhaps it wasn't Alex that set the house on fire like she was told.
It was quite...shady that the fire had happened on the night she had been asked to be the emissary to England. They asked her because 'she could look after herself, had the correct standing, and didn't...look like a sorceress'. She had said no, because travel had no interest to her when there was so much to learn and her mother's arthritis was playing up. She wasn't left much of a choice, with no remaining family and the threat of her name in disgrace. So now she arrives at Uther's court, under strict instructions that on no circumstances should she practice magic, and to go and learn.
