On Earth, Bree was involved with several ‘living history’ re-enactment groups. One group, representing a broad spectrum of European life and customs during the first Feudal age, taught her the traditional art of fighting with sword and shield. Rattan ‘swords’ are employed, being about the same weight as the wooden practice swords commonly used by the ancient fighters being  emulated, but with less danger of throwing splinters when shattered, as in this form of martial art, blows are often delivered full-force even in practice. The ‘blade’ area is marked, and a hit that does not land on this mark is not counted as good (flat)... thus, a transference of the skills learned in this form to the use of a real edged weapon is natural and easy. Full armor is worn, and carefully inspected by group-appointed marshals prior to allowing a fighter onto the field. 

In the ‘tourney’ setting, the sport form of the art, rules of chivalry apply…, but Bree has found that skills employed therein have practical applications, transferring nicely to any stick she can grab and an old-fashioned trashcan lid, at need, as well as to live steel. 
 
Bree is fascinated by the ancient Celts, her father’s ancestors, and studies them, among other historically significant people-groups, as a hobby. She sings, preferring traditional ballads, especially Celtic tunes, to the operatic style for which she was trained. She also does fine freehand embroidery and other forms of needlework, and has won awards for her work within her re-enactment societies.

Like many of her shipmates, Bree enjoys certain Holodeck simulations. One of her favorites includes the streets of the old French Quarter in New Orleans as it was before time and storm altered it beyond recognition. Another involves re-enactment of the sword-and-shield tourneys she participated in on Earth… she looks forward to working out with rattan sword and shield, and taking on ‘society’ legends to keep in shape. She also studies Ninpo, both for practical and recreational purposes.
