Brooklyn Fowler

**Brooklyn Fowler** (Unfezant) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. She is a member of the Foresters and Shingo Mochizuki's reconnaissance partner.

## History

### Eyas of a Broken Fowl

Brooklyn was born into a family of flyers who specialized in mail carrying during times of war, delivering messages in dangerous terrain and the like. She and her siblings were being trained by their father to take up the role of knighted mail carriers for the Umbra Clock Kingdom, but Brooklyn was unable to master the basics of flight. Unknown to her and her family, she possessed a mental disorder that affected her coordination, causing her village to assume she was too inept to learn a basic skill. She was nicknamed "Broken Fowl" as a result.

After bringing shame to her father, Brooklyn ran away from home and vowed to master flying no matter what it took. She practiced out in the wilderness for weeks, but continued to fumble with her attempts. At her breaking point, she was captured by New Chariot slave traders to be sold off for labor.

Brooklyn was transported to the Great Gate Empire after numerous failed attempts to be sold due to her awkward stature. Out of pity, Hiraku Mochizuki purchased her and brought her into the Mochizuki Clan as a servant. Though the head of the clan, Shinsuke Mochizuki, didn't approve of relying on slaves, he agreed to let Brooklyn stay and work around the house.

## Personality

Brooklyn is a supportive ally who uses her aerial advantages to help in any way she can. She's ambitious about completing assignments and proving her worth to fellow teammates. She is also a caring spirit who helps those struggling with their own personal issues, wishing to be there as a shoulder to lean on.

Brooklyn is incredibly self-conscious about her abilities due to her upbringing. She was born with a mental disability that affected the coordination of her wings, making normal flying impossible. When she was younger, she would breakdown into tears over her repeated failures to fly and ridiculed by children her age for being born a "broken fowl." As she got older, she has become prouder of her unique flying style, though a remnant of her old self still linger.

## Abilities/Skills

**Overall Abilities-** Brooklyn went through Forester training and passed the entrance exam. As Shingo's partner, she has likely picked up on some of his training in ninjutsu and incorporated it into her fighting style. She is an aerial fighter relying on her unusual flying style to dodge attacks. She is incredibly swift, capable of evading detection of the Senbo guards to invade the castle.

**Flying Style-** Brooklyn is incapable of flying normally due to a mental disorder that effects the coordination of her wings, making them difficult to use in flight or for basic, everyday use. Through Shingo's help, she developed a flying style revolving around spinning and gliding on self-made air currents. This flying style makes her tricky to fight in the air.

### Equipment

**Eye Scope-** Brooklyn's scope is an attachment she uses to help with flying. It has a built in gyroscope she uses to level herself out when gliding. It doubles as a telescope.

### Moveset

**Ability-** Super Luck

* Roost
* Steel Wing
* Detect
* Gust
* Tailwind
* Air Cutter

### Enhanced Moves

* **Ascending Gale-** Brooklyn's primary enhanced move used in tandem with her flying style. A combination of Gust and Tailwind. After a moment of prep, Brooklyn jumps and spins herself into a cyclone that rockets her into the air. With her spinning, she can maneuver through the air with the wind acting as a deterrent for enemies or a minor barrier.
	+ **Serrated Breeze-** Withing the cyclone, Brooklyn unleashes dozens of Air Cutter blades with increased power, bombarding the environment around her.

## Trivia

* The name Brooklyn originated from a variation of the Dutch town, Breukelen, which meant either "marsh land" or "broken land". Fowler is an occupation of birdcatcher, derived from the Old English *fugol*, meaning "bird".
