Physical Description:

For a guy, Breandon is fairly short -- only 5'3". He has a very high metabolism, never remembers to eat, and is always on the go, so he's a bit on the underweight side. He has high flexibility, though, and he's by no means weak.

His hair is actually longer than his cousin Winter's, if you can credit it, and reaches past his knees. It's a warm, mahogany brown colour, slightly wavy, with honey blonde highlights from the sunlight. He usually wears it in a low ponytail at the nape of his neck (similar to the Three Lights' style). Naturally curly bangs hide his broad forehead, and this one stupid curl always hangs around in front of his right eye.

His eyes are an unusual olivine green, similar to a darkened peridot. Like his cousin, they are slanted; in fact his whole face has an Oriental cast. Brows so narrow you'd swear he plucks them arch high and give him a permanent look of surprise. Short-looking lashes are actually long, but the tips are invisible by virtue of being bleached blonde.

Breandon's skin is a deep tan, so dark that if he had freckles you wouldn't be able to see them. Because of this, his eyes stand out sharply in contrast to his general overall brown-ness. Hands are long and shapely, almost feminine. His whole attitude, in fact, and bearing, are almost feminine, riding very close to the line between "gay", "fop", and "refined gentleman." Fortunately for him, his voice is bass, with an edge of a velvet purr; when girls are attracted to him, they usually cite the way he talks and sounds as the first thing they noticed. He is fortunate that he rarely has to shout, because his voice is so damn deep he'd need a microphone to be heard more than a few feet away.

Typically, he is to be found in jeans, with buttoned shirt-smocks over the top. Sleeves are often rolled up -- he doesn't feel the cold any more than his cousin. Bare feet is common when he is immersed in design, but when at a show or on a date or just generally out, he cuts quite an elegant figure. He prefers stark, brilliant colours for himself, black, ruby red, sapphire blue, and the like, but his colour sense is highly developed and he rarely makes a mistake when dressing someone else.

Emotional Description:

Breandon is a person who, while being somewhat discriminating, is very sociable and magnetic. People respond to his likable personality and dramatic nature quickly, with few reservations. He has a good sense about what is modern and progressive, and he's especially eager to play an important role in any kind of progress. However, tolerance is a quality Breandon lacks. He is brash, opinionated, and a bit outspoken -- if in a charming way. While he works well with the public, there is a tendency within him to feel that everyone should fend for themselves. He is not one to be particularly charitable to those less fortunate than himself.

This quality notwithstanding, he is innately charming, allowing him to make each person he meets feel that they are uniquely important to him. He has a noble air and a certain aristocracy of breeding that is impressive and signals that he has a good deal of self-esteem. This impresses many of those with whom he comes in daily contact, and he gets a great deal of respect for this. He is quick to judge people and situations -- his whole life seems to move at a pretty rapid pace.

Romantic and highly idealistic, Breandon prefers to be the leader in his romantic encounters -- which are legion. He is one for the girls, both interesting and charming without being particularly demanding or possessive. He is contantly moving on, seeking new goals, new projects, and new challenges. Highly action oriented, when an idea strikes him, he is off quickly to carry it out. Yet he lacks skills in seeing projects through to a conclusion.

He is a quick learner and a self-starter; enthusiastic and curious. Natural impulsiveness, a melodramatic flair, and an inability to listen to the advice of others often involves him in difficulties. His temper is sharp and his fuse is short. Fortunately, he gets over anger as quickly as it comes, and holding a grudge is foreign to him. He is rarely devious or subtle in his actions.

The nature of his drive, creativity, and business has forced him into moderating his tactlessness and inability to stick with a project, but underneath is always the need to do the next thing, see what's over the next hill. This is one of the major reasons he never duplicates a project -- why bother to recreate that which he has already completed? He needs the challenge of doing something new each time, and has inexhaustible creativity.



Job: Court clothing design
Hobbies: flirting with girls; drinking himself blind when inspiration escapes him; attending Court to see people wearing his expensive creations; seeking out new and unique fabrics, trims, and styles
History:

Where his cousin Winter was an exceptional person from the start, Breandon had little to distinguish himself from the common herd early on. An only child, he was exceptional neither in studies nor in sports. School bored him often and easily, and he tended to play hooky quite a bit. When he hit high school, that all changed. Although he would never be athletic, his smoky eyes, aristocratic manner, and beautiful hair drew girls to him like iron to a magnet, and he was usually able to get them to do what he wanted.

This did not set well with his parents. Strict and old-fashioned, they had expectations for their only child -- expectations which he was spectactularly failing to meet. Breandon fought a lot with his parents in those years, and more than once ran away from home. There was always some friend or girl willing to shelter him for the night, and once his anger ran out, so did his desire to be away from home. High school ended, and he prepared for college.

Only to be told that college would not be an option if he was planning to go and fritter away his four years there. He was to keep his grades up, or come home like the failure he was. It was unacceptable to a high-strung boy like Breandon. He couldn't bear to have restrictions on him, and for the final time, he fled home.

It didn't take him long to find work, as an actor. It was in the theatre that he discovered his flair and love for fancy clothing design, and it took even less time for him to become costume designer for first one theatre, then two, then half a borough's worth of theatres. With the money from his first successful show, he opened a shop. Business exploded. Within two years Breandon was having to turn people away because he couldn't keep up with all the work. When his cousin got him a commission from the Queen herself, his success was sealed.

Now, at age 27, he still looks 22 and is a wildly successful designer, whose designs are known to be unique. He can pick and choose among his clients, and is highly discriminating. He adamantly refuses to do any work on the side, claiming to be kept quite busy enough with the paying clients.
