The Lady, Bree

The Lady, Bree, more commonly known as just Bree (And less commonly, Briar or Briar Rose) is a woman mentioned in the backstory of Lady Verbena. She is a possible mistress of Verbena's husband but was unknown of Galia's status with her husband. In Lady Verbena's backstory, she is caught by Galia either making intimacy with Galia's husband in Galia's sister's bed or fondling and kissing him in the solar room. Some call Bree the personification of the briar rose. 
== Backstory ==
Bree was around 21 when she met Galia's husband in a field of sweetbrier and foxgloves. Bree was apart of the sweetbrier-picking society which was in strife with the verbena-picking society. Galia's husband, Trent, was busy looking for Galia and suspected that the sweetbrier and foxgloves in the field were in fact verbena. As he walked through the thorny sweetbrier and towering foxgloves, he heard the sweet humming of a woman and met a woman with diamond-teal eyes, dishwater blonde hair, and a sweet smile dressed in a white billowy blouse and a light-blue dress as well as a green kerchief head covering who gazed up at him behind the sweetbrier. Trent asked the mysterious woman if she has seen Galia and Bree informs him that he is in the wrong field. Trent feels a feeling of guilt as he starts to feel affection and romance towards Bree, but begins to to date her in secret while still dating Bree. Three weeks later, Bree and Trent assembled a meeting at Galia and her sister's cottage and there they made love for the first time, before Galia killed them both in retaliation and anger. Bree, despite participating accidentally in an affair with Trent, is a good-hearted woman who only wanted to be loved; it is said that whenever Lady Verbena feels guilt for what she did to Bree, Bree's spirit forgives her and comforts her, leaving Lady Verbena dormant for a moment or two. 
== Symbolism ==
During the Crescent Festival, many Paranians place statues depicting Bree at their window sills, above their fireplaces, and on their dining tables. Bree is said to symbolize guilt and betrayal as that is what Trent did to Galia and it is said that if Lady Verbena makes an attempt to take a victim's happiness in a household and she sees the statue of Bree, she will stay put for a moment as she remembers the night Trent betrayed her using Bree; she will eventually feel too guilty and let-down to get at the victim in the household and she will leave the victims alone. It is believed Galia feels guilty and wrong for killing Bree.
