Briar Moss

Briar Moss used to be a street-rat until Niklaren Goldeye took him with him. he was called Roach and he had no last name.

Here's where the phychoanalyzing comes in.

Briar is not a very open person, and some of the characters, such as Sandrilene fa Toren, don't understand that. They try to make them more open, and that just pushes them back in.

Briar acts all snooty like and makes others feel bad by his ignoring, but all he really wants, I think, is a true 'mate.' he wants to have that kind of relationship with someone, but he just doesn't know how. Sandry and Rosethorn both help him with this. Sandry helps him open up more and helps him to see the bright side of things, whereas Rosethorn helps him with the social part of it. He isn't a cheerful or nice person at first, but as he is around the girls and Rosethorn more, he stars to warm up to them and he realizes how to act to be friends with them. He starts to figure out that if he acts like Trisana Chandler, he will be alone his whole life. he not dumb or stupid. He just doesn't have the experiance of making friends.
