=== Dragon Age: The Masked Empire ===
* "Your clan could have helped the elves in the cities, taken in the strays, as your Keeper said. Instead, you rode around in wagons and searched for gifts left by our ancestors. You summoned demons and brought your doom upon yourselves."Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 318
* "We may be mere insects, Grand Duke, but so are wasps. A wise man avoids poking their nest."Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 322
* "Freedom is not given. It is won."Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 366
=== Dragon Age Inquisition ===
* "If the nobility is going to treat elves as if we are not citizens, we may as well have the trappings of a foreign power."
* "I'm an elf, Inquisitor. That should tell you everything you need to know about my life. I'm good at what I do. That's all that matters. I will help my people no matter the cost."
* "Our problem is invisibility. The people in power are used to ignoring us. We're not actors, we're scenery."

== Notes ==
* Dragon Age: The Masked Empire is inconsistent regarding the number of civilians killed in the suppression of Halamshiral. While initially described as thousands,Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 136 Briala and Celene later say that only hundreds were killed.Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 205 Michel de Chevin also suggests putting down the rebellion would entail the loss of "a few hundred" elven lives during the journey to Halamshiral.Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 122
== Trivia ==
* Trick Weekes gave a non-canonical estimate of Briala's age at about 33 to 34. Elsewhere they estimated that Briala killed Lady Mantillon 2 to 4 years after Celene became empress, which is corroborated by the fact that she returned to Val Royeaux "a few years after" Celene's ascension to the throne. Since she was 20 at the time of Mantillon's death, this would mean her approximate age as of Dragon Age: Inquisition is 36 to 38.
* Briala is described as having big, beautiful,Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 185–186 dark eyesDragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 179 and curly, cinnamon-brown hair,Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 45 which she sometimes wears tied back and braided to keep it out of the way.Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 237 Her skin is beautiful and darker than Celene's, with freckles but no tan lines from her mask around her eyes. She also has dimples when she smilesDragon Age: The Masked Empire, pp. 98–99 and strong armsDragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 346 and fingers.
