Bramble

**Notes**: Bramble's story in my universe doesn't follow the plot of the issues about him.

**Bramble** is a young deer who is the crown prince of the kingdom of Thicket, being the son of King Aspen. He is also a student to the Three Great Fairies Preparatory Academy, being a friend with Star Knight, Jonagold Apple and Gunter.

## Personality

Bramble is shown as being a shy young deer, as he prefer hide behind his father than interact with others. However, he was shown replying to Star Knight's greeting.

Ever since he became friends with Star, Jonagold and Gunter, he had been becoming much more open with others. This is revealed as he stands up to his father, asserting his will to want to help his friends in getting the Elements of Virtue and defeat the Pony of Shadows and later disobeying him to help Gunter retrieve Flash Magnus' shield from the Mountain Dragons.

According to King Aspen, Bramble has been training hard, showing a desire to become a great warrior, despite his initial distaste for fighting. In his opinion, that has to do with the influence his friends (Star Knight, Jonagold Apple and Gunter) have been on him, with Gunter teaching him to be more brave and confident, Jonagold teaching him to be more honest with his feelings and express them and Star inspiring him to protect the ones he loves.

Despite his shy and calm demeanor, much like his father, Bramble can lose his calm when the ones he loves and cares are in danger or are hurt. This is shown after Gunter sacrifices himself to save him from being tossed into a pit of magma, causing Bramble to become very angry and unleash is potential.

## Skills

He has the skills of a deer. Like any deer, his antlers can be use to form a pownder that can be used to revitalize the forest.

According to King Aspen, his father, Bramble has been training hard to become the best warrior he can be and that he has the potential to surprass him. This is proven to be a truthful statement, as he is able to defeat Mountain Dragons after unleashing that same potential.

Like his father, Bramble is capable of covering his body with light nature and, in this waym increase his speed and resilience. Not only that, but Bramble is also capable of casting lightning blades.
