General Behavior: Typically Brenna appears to be a cold, calculating type of person. It's rare to see actual emotion on her face. However, when she's not wearing her assassin's guise and feels that she can actually be herself, she smiles quite often. Life outside of being an assassin may not be something that she's extremely familiar with, but what she remembers of it was pleasant. However, she's always been quick to put someone on their ass that she felt deserved it. Drunken idiots who go too far hitting on a woman, or people who are stupid enough to threaten her or her family/friends top that list. Not that she has many friends, but that's not the point. As an assassin there really isn't much room in her life for friends. Which is part of the reason she had to leave her family behind in Ireland. Though she loved them, they were a weakness for others to exploit. And when one of her longest standing rivals found her in Ireland, she had to fake her own death to protect her family. That's the type of person she is. She will go to any lengths necessary to protect those she holds near and dear to her heart.

{ H I S T O R Y }

Brenna was born the only child of Thorne and Sylvi Holt. She was born in Norway, and grew up training in hand-to-hand combat, as well as with several different types of weapons. She became very proficient with both styles of fighting, and eventually was propositioned by the king himself to become a royal assassin. She took him up on the offer, not really prepared for what such a thing would mean. After the first year of being an assassin she grew tired of the constant killing. It wore on her conscience day in and day out, and she needed to escape from that. She made her way to Ireland somehow, and met a man by the name of Markis Burke.

Something that she didn't intend happened, then. She fell madly in love with the man. For several months they were happy together, and even got married. Then she got pregnant. It was during her pregnancy that she learned someone who had been wanting her dead for a while now had found her in Ireland. That was when she knew she had to leave. The thought shattered her heart, and she knew that she couldn't leave Markis with any hope that she would ever return. So when her daughter was born she faked her own death. She left behind the man that she had fallen in love with and the daughter that she had always wanted.

It was enough to change her from the girl that she had been into the woman that she is now. She returned to Norway and her position as a royal assassin. Killing didn't seem quite as bad now that her heart was shattered. But it still wasn't a pleasant business. Years later she finally caught up with the man who had stalked her to Ireland and managed to kill him. Now the kingdom of Norway has gone to hell and a hand-basket, and while she still has enemies, she's decided leaving Norway is the route to take. She's decided that returning to Ireland and the love of her life is something that she wants to do. Hopefully she can convince them to accept her, despite what she did to them, and despite what she does for a living.
