"Rest now, my warrior. Rest Now, your shame is over.
Live! Wake up! And let the cloak of light Cling to Your Bones!"

Male
Why Does That Picture Describe This Brila?
This picture is a combination of different screenshots from the Doctor Who episode, "The Rings of Akhenaten." This Brila reminded me of the Egyptian ruler named Akehnaten, who then reminded me of this Doctor Who episode.
This picture, like this Brila, is complex and has a certain charm to it.
I shall dissect this picture rectangle by rectangle, and examine why each rectangle represents and/or describes this Brila.
Rectangle #1 - Fallen Leaves. Autumn is a time when leaves fall to the ground in a spectacular array of beautiful colors. But even the most brightly colored leaf loses that color along with its life, come late autumn and winter. The loss of life is a tragic thing, even though it happens every day. EVERYTHING in our world fades at some point, and dies. Akhenaten is familiar with the sadness associated with death, as he's lost many loved ones to it. Akhenaten is like these leaves - crusty and hard at times, due to his not wanting to befriend another being just to lose him/her to death at a later point in time.
Rectangles #2 and #4 - Meteors in a Red Sky and Meteors Orbiting Around a Planet. These pictures are beautiful, but they have a certain sadness to them. You can see chunks of rock floating among the full and complete meteors...this implies that meteors had previously been present, but are now nothing but a heap of rubble. They were destroyed by something unknown to them. Akhenaten is, at times, like these meteors. He goes about his life, living as free as he wishes, even though he believes that there is a higher power looking after him...and that the higher power could decide to let him die any day. Akhenaten does not live a life in fear, however, but he embraces every day as a new adventure, and he strives to make the world a better place while he is still here.
Rectangle #3 - A Young Girl About to Perform. Akhenaten is like the little girl in the sense that he is forced to perform for others - people don't like to see the sorrow he has, so he acts like he's happy and joyful. There are times when he truly IS happy and joyful...but most of the time, it's just a show he puts on. He knows the humans will just take pity on him if he shows them his sadness...and he loathes pity more than anything.
Rectangle #5 - The Doctor Appears to be Searching for Something. Like the Doctor, Akhenaten always is looking for something to do. He hates sitting still and dislikes doing nothing. He's very active, and is always on the go. He enjoys running and jumping the most, and will often run along a mountain trail in the dead of night, leaping over fallen stumps and large boulders for practice.
Rectangle #6 - A Monster of a Planet. Akhenaten is normally very kind-hearted and gentle...but he does have his moments of horrifying anger and hatred. Upon these moments, most would describe him as "monster-like" and "ferocious." When in this type of mood, Akhenaten has a habit of pushing others away from him by lashing out at them.
Rectangle #7 - Gallifreyan Symbols. Like these symbols, Akhenaten can be difficult to read. His personality is simple and easy to understand - but his emotions are often not. He is very good at hiding what he feels inside, and may appear cold and calculative when he is only keeping his secrets safe. He may appear to be distracting or hyper, but he only wishes to play. He often comes across in a different way than how he truly wishes to come across. Akhenaton, like these symbols, are truly an enigma that only the most patient and understanding people can solve.
Rectangle #8 - Security Guards. Akhenaton tends to follow the rules, and usually steers away from trouble. At times, however, he has to be watched closely. He once tried to take something that wasn't his so that he could give it to an ill friend, but he ended up getting caught and being put under surveillance. He knew that following the rules was the best option - but at that time, it wasn't the option that was best for him. He took his punishment with his head held high - he knew he'd done something wrong, and he didn't try to skirt the issue or blame someone else. He accepted the consequences for his actions with the understanding that he wasn't to try the stunt again - unless he was more careful the second time.
