"This is one of my all time favorite outfits! I truly believe that Bryna is an alter-ego of mine from a past life: a strong warrior elf. This outfit is an entirely original piece that stemmed from my elf ears, I just knew that when I bought them they couldn't accompany another outfit, but I had to make an outfit around them."
"I went in deep with this outfit, making sure that every choice I made was one that would help Bryna be a better warrior in her elven land. I chose dark greens and browns so she could camoflauge herself in her enviroment. The brocade fabric shows her status in her community; she stands close to royalty with her bravery to protect her tribe. Her whale bone necklace, foxtails, bracers (which are stamped with a Buck silohette) and hair all relate to the animals that surround her and worked with her on her journeys. I specifically made her skirt a high-low (short in the front/side, long in the back) so she could easily run through forests and still blend in with the trees from behind (she can even hide within the back of the skirt). Her chainmail belt is the only thing that makes a small jingle, and that is so she can communicate with the birds to help her through her outings."
"Bryna was a turning point in my creations and has become a momnument in my outfit history"
