The Ruby Rose Queen
The Blooming Reign Briarswight (a.k.a. Briar, Bramble)
- The Ruby Rose Queen, formerly known as Briarswight of Banallma, was progenitor of The Blooming Reign of Velhael upon its creation. She did not ascend to this rank until after the events of the Ruby Battle, but retained the title until her death in XX.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Growing up as a farmer had Briarswight's body already primed for hard labor, which she quickly developed into that of a warrior upon her decision to lead an exodus across the Central Ringlet. Her muscle mass never seemed to deteriorate, and she was built for more physical, hard-hitting attacks than the more elegant, dexterous work of her comrades. It is rumored that she had never fallen ill with anything from a mere sniffle to even rotted foot gut.
Body Features
One very significant feature of Briarwight's body is the large scar that crosses over her abdomen from one hip to the other. It has been noted by her various physicians but never expanded upon in any of their surviving notes.
Facial Features
Briarswight is said to have had piercing, sharp features like those of a predatory bird, especially late in her life.
Identifying Characteristics
The most notable feature that always identified Briarswight was the deep auburn shade of her hair that looked like it caught on fire in many battlefields. It was so well noted in fact that many illustrations of her battles include a ring of fire around her head.
Apparel & Accessories
Except for depictions of her in her youth, Briarswight was known to always be donned in her armor and prominently wearing the Ruby Rose pin. This pin would later become the symbol of divine right to rule Velhael until its loss with The Scarlet Queen.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Briarswight began her life as a farmer within the country of Banallma. Her farm was located near the Spring of Life, where old doctrine dictated that sentient life emerged from due to the power of the Master Princes.
Sexuality
Little is known about Briarwight's preferences and promiscuity, although she was active enough to have sired a son to continue leading Velhael with her bloodline. Not enough primary documents exist to know for certain her preferences outside that of procreation, although it seems to be that she rarely indulged in such carnal desires.
Education
Her formal education is lacking. Briarswight believed that experience became the best teacher and relied upon her strong belief in the Lords to keep herself safe. She took on tutors for certain specialized skills - generals for war tactics and strategy, former nobles that had absconded with her for diplomacy - but mostly kept herself self-taught where she could.
Employment
Briarswight spent most of her young life as a farmer before leading her exodus. Afterwards she was the head of the Velais Aurebocs, where she acted as a military leader until her appointment as the first Queen of Velhael in the year XX.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Babble here more about the exodus, the creation of Velhael, and then her ascent from The Garden to the queen.
Failures & Embarrassments
Battle losses in Banallma before the exodus, the loss of one of her ships of people
Mental Trauma
The loss of her sibling, the expulsion of her from her home and life, the pressure of the Lords talking to her
Morality & Philosophy
Briarswight believed that one should fight for the changes they believed in, and stop at nothing to gain their outcome. Her beliefs came from her strong religious affiliations, and that if it was truly the will of the Lords that it would come to pass.
-Definitely study a little bit more here as she is incredibly convicted in her beliefs but I have to be able to write them out
