**Personality:**

As a young woman, Brianni had a bit of a rebellious nature. She was very bold and outspoken, speaking out whenever she felt necessary. While her demeanor has earned her the secret ire of many leaders, she always cared for the kingdom and is willing to make sacrifices for the greater good.

In middle age, Brianni has adopted a matured personality. While she still openly voices her opinion, she does so with tact and . She has a dedicated sense of duty towards her family, providing the best support she could in all of their affairs.  Even after returning home to Erina, she fulfils the duties of a Queen in place of her late sister in law, and is admired by noblewomen across the country. Deep down she still mourns the loss of Davin and quietly yearns to join him, her life as Queen keeps her distracted enough to stop her thoughts from dwelling too much.

**Background:**

Brianni grew up the princess of Erina along with her younger brother, Prince Bryton. As a princess, she handled more than her share of duties. Brianni had all the makings of the perfect future regent, more so than her brother. However her fate as a woman would be decided. She would have to marry a high ranking noble to form an alliance between powerful families. The opportunity came at the Clash of Kings, a tournament between the noble houses of the world. Brianni's headstrong attitude made her struggle during the Trials, but in the end she still charmed Prince Davin Channon of Nisea. Though she was apprehensive about the union, they would fall in love and marry. While she initially struggled to adapt to the culture of her new home, Brianni developed into a splendid Queen. When Exandr is invaded, she is forced to flee with her children, leaving behind the love of her life and the home she grew to adore.

While she didn't inherit any magic, Brianni is among the most skilled people of her generation. She is adept in forging and crafting weaponry, a trade taught to her by her Grandfather, Brianni. With it, comes a knowledge of their functions and operations. In theory, she could wield any weapon that she crafts, though her skill may vary. Her preferred weapon of choice is a short lance which she can use to end battles quickly and from a distance. During her time in Nisea, Brianni developed a keen understanding of advanced Nisean medical practices under the tutelage of Queen Mother Dara. Her knowledge was good enough to pass on to her youngest child who continued the tradition.

**Family:**

King Davin Channon (Husband)

Davin is the love of Brianni's life. In their first meeting at the Clash of Kings, she thought very little of him and his passive nature. But over the course of the Trials, she grew very fond of him and they got engaged.

Prince Thalice Channon (Son)

As the first born Prince of Nisea, Thalice was considered the Kingdom's son. Brianni was not allowed to have a hands on approach to parenting Thalice, but she tried to be as involved in the process as much as possible. Perhaps her biggest regret is not fighting for her right to raise him and blames herself for the anger he carries with him.

Prince Tierre Cress (Son)

Brianni took Tierre in from the Princess of Limnea to ensure his future. She was able to have a closer relationship with Tierre, but was still pressured into following certain guidelines and customs even when it came to raising him.

Princess Derane Channon (Daughter)

Unfortunately, Brianni never got to know her daughter. Due to the chaotic circumstances during her birth, Brianni was convinced that her birth was a fever dream after Dariel's birth.

Prince Dariel Channon (Son)

As her last born child, Brianni harbours a special bond with Dariel. Unlike Thalice, she got to raise him how she saw fit as she was free from the pressures of being Queen. She has tried to shelter him from the same pressure she and her older sons had to face and wanted him to decide the type of person he would become.
