Brider Surriss, Barsen'thor

Master Brider Surriss, Barsen'thor (a.k.a. Bri)

“War breaks Jedi like her.”   “War breaks everyone. Jedi like her break war.”
An Iridonian Zabrak sage and third Bar'senthor of the Jedi Order, Brider Surriss is a dedicated, compassionate, and mild-mannered diplomat. Understanding and selfless to what many would argue is a fault, she has never turned down somebody asking for her assistance.  Brider has never harmed a person she didn't first exhaust every option of trying to make peace with. She was very close to Syo Bakarn, regarding him as her father, and absolutely did not want to replace him on the Council. She and her "immediate family" largely live a nomadic life on her ship, Serenity, going wherever people need help that they can give.
“I’ve never concerned myself with what people deserve. If they need my help, that’s more than enough reason for me to help them.”

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Brider has elaborate tattoos over her face and body, representing her identity and accomplishments in accordance with Iridonian tradition.  Facial tattoos show that she attained the rank of Jedi Padawan, and then of fully independent Jedi.  Tattoos on her hands and forearms show her status as Barsen'thor, and more tattoos on her arms show her status as a Jedi Master.  She has tattoos on her back to reflect her title as the Mender of the Rift, and tattoos on her legs to show that she is a member of the Jedi Council.

Apparel & Accessories

She’s dressed elegantly, in many layers of traditional Jedi clothing in shades of silver and cream – and [a] crisp, pure white outer robe[..]. There’s jewellery, too – a slim silver circlet that connects to delicate chains from her horns, its centerpiece the symbol of the Jedi Order, and her hair has small strands of silver woven into its long plait.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Knighted at the age of only seventeen, Brider Surriss, Third Barsen'thor, was treated as a peer by Jedi Masters already as a sixteen-year-old Padawan.  This generally suited her fine, as she felt she didn't have much in common with other people, even Jedi, her age.

Morality & Philosophy

Brider is a staunch pacifist.

Taboos

Brider will never, ever begin a physical altercation, and will always act to defend others rather than attacking.

Contacts & Relations

Brider Surriss and Master Syo Bakarn, her mentor.
As far as Brider is concerned, Master Yuon Par taught her how to be a Jedi Knight, Master Syo Bakarn taught her how to be a Jedi Master, and Grand Master Satele Shan taught her how to be a member of the Jedi Council.

Social Aptitude

Brider is effortlessly influential and unfailingly courteous.  She enjoys making new friends, and spending time with old ones.  She does not, however, enjoy 'socialization' as such, much preferring the company of a book, animal, or natural vista if her presence is not directly helping somebody.

Speech

Brider speaks quietly and calmly, even in scenarios that would drive most to shouting, and enunciates carefully.

History

Just beyond the two Masters was the one who had been calling her. Up close, he felt like clear water rippling gently over one’s toes, and shelter from the noonday head from a leaf canopy. He was shelter, not to hide from what was without, but to cherish what else was within. And, more inanely, he made her think of toast for breakfast. With her eyes, she could see a Human man, symbols of authority and healing decorating his outer tunics. He was pale-skinned, grey-haired; maybe in his fifties, if she’d needed to guess.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

They are both mild-mannered, gentle healers known for quiet wisdom.
