At first glance Braedynne appears to be a Hylian child, but this is only to the most ignorant and inattentive of people. Her hair is a long and messy vivid-green mop, which for starters, is not a natural hue for Hylians. Her face is warm and youthful. Her eyes are also green like emeralds, and between them rests a charmingly-childish button nose. Also accompanying her everywhere she goes is a ball of bright, pale-blue light, which also speaks: her guardian fairy. She is a Kokiri, one of the eternal children of the forests, and openly travels as such.

While she certainly enjoys green tones and other earthy garb reminiscent of her woodland home, she has spiced up her look a bit, finding her own unique style. A few extra lengths of cloth here, take a bit from there, add a dash of extra color -be it from a cloak, a flower, or a sash - and add some jewelry... she certainly stands out, but she still feels like she fits in with her friends. It's a bit of a step towards what other folks in Hyrule wear as well, but quite honestly, she still sticks out like a sore thumb.

Braedynne enjoys light and airy clothes and sandals in the warmer seasons. And of course she bundles up when it's cold. She likes utilizing multiple layers no matter the season, though of course depending on weather, they may be fewer or thinner.

Braedynne is quite warm and cheerful. She enjoys life, appreciating her own and respecting the lives of others.  She may seem shy at times, but she is happy to strike up a conversation with someone if it suits her, or at least, if there is good reason to. Overall, she would not defy most people's expectations for a Kokiri in any significant way.

She is a curious and inquisitive sort, which mostly explains why she is out and about, away from her home in the Faron Forest. She enjoys seeking knowledge, not just for the sake of it, but so she can find new and better ways to help people. Though her attention span does have limits. It has improved slightly with age. She is not reckless, but she has been known to take some risks.

Edelweiss is Braedynne's guardian fairy. The fairy is a bit more reserved and more vigilant than she is.  Edelweiss likes to consider herself an advisor and acts as such. But more importantly, she is a dear friend.

There's not too much to say early on, soon after being created by the Great Deku Tree. Edelweiss was assigned to watch over Braedynne, and the fairy was the young girl's tutor, mentor, and perhaps even like a parent over the following decades. However, Braedynne did eventually grow into her own person. At some point, Edelweiss had taught Braedynne everything she could have. Even before then, the two were still growing and learning together.

For the most part, Braedynne got along fine with just about everyone. She spent countless hours playing with her brothers and sisters, be it athletics and roughhousing, singing, dancing, games of chance or strategy.. As she grew older, her temperament grew more mellow, and she preferred calmer, more intellectual activities. She had become as much an older sibling as she still was a younger sister. Their community in the Sacred Meadow was small, but it was tightly-knit and loving. Braedynne still remembers fondly all the times she helped Green Tom with his garden and shared his bounty. Or the one time she beat Sylvus, Katerina, and Jorge all at once with the most epic (but admittedly lucky) play. None of their guardian fairies saw it coming either!

However, for all of its beauty and tranquility, the Sacred Meadow still felt lacking in a sense. With knowledge and a taste of the outside world, Braedynne wanted a bit more. It's not to say she doesn't appreciate her home - because she truly and dearly does - but much like, perhaps every now and then when people get the urge to go out and dance in the rain, or roll in the snow, the allure of fun and new experiences is always out there, but eventually we all return to the warmth of the hearth within...

As of late, after hearing all the recent and riveting tales from their "boss", Saphe, Braedynne's curiosity grew far too great, and she finally decided to venture out of the woods. These recent days, the news has been dark. And indeed, the evidence of evil deeds is everywhere, from the sites of battles fought, mass graves, and even burned out ruins that still barely stand. Braedynne does worry that, perhaps some day, this evil could reach her home and ravage it as well. And so, for the first time, she ventures out of the woods, out of the safety of her home to brave the unknown and see if there is any way she can help.
