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.
