Kinship
Outward Appearance

Baranes has a young youthful face, full of fresh life and ordinary beauty. Her tall stature (Stands at around 5 ft 8) immediately gives off her own bold confidence and poise. She is ready to smile for most people that she meets, and she is of a slender, attractive build, yet her choice of clothing hides this.
Her eyes, once seen, are an icy crystalline-green colour, rather unusual among the typical Brown-eyed Bree-landers. She attributes this to a distant Gondorian heritage. Her brown hair comes down in straight locks to her shoulders. Yet what appears to be so odd is that one eye will usually be covered in long bangs that reach her neck, and she does not appear to care about the omnious impression it gives off. Baranes uses booming, confident tones, and a heavily accented Bree-lander tone, which usually is a counterbalance to her odd sidebangs. One can note a rather suspicious glint in her eye when she spots something interesting... odd?

Background

A normal Bree-lass with distant Gondorian ancestry (hinted by the Sindarin name, though usually, she introduces herself as "Barry" ), Baranes grew up to a family somewhere between rich and middle-class. As a child she loved to sew clothing and today greatly loves tailoring. How "Barry" ended up working as a tavern girl in the pony is a story known to few. However, she sometimes drops hints frequently of her heritage, but tends not to go into detail.

This woman has a sinister side to her personality, evidenced by her Magpie-like tendencies when she looks at interesting objects. Not many know that she tends to disguise herself as a casual daytime (and nighttime) thief, stealing from market stalls and from homes, just for the thrills. Many guards have often incorrectly labelled this person, dubbed 'Sophia', as a tramp, a private joke among the Bree Watchers.
