Possibly the WORST woman to encounter in a long, dark, narrow hallway...

Formerly:

* Crawler Empire
* The Forgotten

Bratta Lavenderwing is the sister of Bat King Bliston Belkoroth, and an RPC created by Thefirstdecade. She has a different last name than that of her older brother, so as to carry on their dead mother's namesake (retroactively created by Bratta herself, since their parents hadn't been evolved). She is open to love one way or another, that being, ultimately, with Barney Balhoun. She loves her brother, previously to the point of possible incestuous behavior, but it was kept well hidden, and this instinctive attraction quickly switched to Barney when she met him. Bratta initially served as one of the two Stewards of the Bat Tribe along with Balthazar, acting as the dual second-in-commands to Bliston, though Balthazar would be the one to lead the tribe in military affairs whenever Bliston disappeared or was captured, and he ended up arresting Bratta upon finding out about her intention to defect to The Forgotten.

Bratta was freed by her brother and evacuated from Black Fang Mountain just as the Icebears attacked, only to then be manipulated and kidnapped by Scrin, who took Bratta to an alternate dimension. She was reunited with Barney in the process, and the two of them eventually managed to escape from Scrin's control, after which they followed the majority of the Bats to New Bat Island, regretting their earlier betrayals. Bliston allowed them to return to the tribe, but stripped of their previous ranks, after which Bratta birthed her and Barney's twin children, Belris and Belkor. Later notable feats of Bratta's include defeating the revived and then-immortal Scorpion King Scorm in single combat, and fighting to somewhat of a stalemate with the renowned Eagle warrior Eris.

## Biography

### Early Life

Bratta and her older brother Bliston grew up as primitive creatures in The Gorge of Eternal Depth, where they remained until Gible dropped chi down from The Great Desert. Although their parents didn't survive the scramble for the chi orbs, Bratta and Bliston both drank the chi, evolving into larger and smarter humanoid beings. Bliston then revealed that he'd found a way out of the Gorge, and led the Bats and arachnids through eastern tunnels, arriving in the jungles of the Outlands. The Bats, Scorpions, and Spiders then divided by species into tribes. Since he'd enabled them to escape the dark Gorge, the Bats elected Bliston as their leader, and he claimed the title of King. After the Bats and Scorpions fought in small wars to each conquer a third of the Outlands, Bliston turned Black Mountain into an HQ for the Bats, and created the tribe's ranks. Along with Balthazar, Bratta was appointed as a second-in-command of Bliston, a Stewardess of the Bat Tribe. Bratta later met and developed romantic feelings toward a bat named Barney Balhoun.

### Mind Control

At some point after that, Bratta met a scorpion named Scrin while taking a walk alone in the Outlands. Bratta and Scrin, who told her he was no longer part of the Scorpion Tribe, discussed Outland politics. Scrin told her that he not only disagreed with the concept of monarchies, but also suspected that King Scorm's brother, Scortica Breen, was planning on turning his military force (the Scorpions' half of the Black Overwatch) against his brother and the Scorpion Tribe. Scrin explained to Bratta that he'd started to build a new faction of rogue arachnids, to fight against and destroy both the Scorpion Tribe and Scortica's splinter faction. When Bratta somewhat agreed with Scrin's politics but disagreed with his actions, Scrin stung her, and the mind-controlling venom from the scorpion's stinger brought Bratta under his control. When Scrin noticed that a bat scientist named Bachell had witnessed what happened (having arrived just as Scrin stung Bratta), he caught and stung her as well. Scrin sent the brainwashed Bratta and Bachell back to the Bats' HQ, now called Black Fang Mountain, to act as sleeper agents within the Bat Tribe.

### Rescue Mission

During one of Bliston's trips to the inland of Chima, Bratta was left in charge of Black Fang Mountain. When Bliston returned to the HQ and flew into his throne room at the top of the mountain, Bratta expressed her anger at his long trips, and slapped him. Bliston, however, was happy to see her, and explained to his sister that the voyages into Chima were all for a greater purpose, which he'd reveal to her soon. Bratta then proposed that they visit the Scorpions, whom the Bats were loosely allied with (due to Bliston's friendship with Scorpion King Scorm). The Bat King then received word that the scorpion scientists had kidnapped a bat for experiments. Bliston announced that he'd personally and immediately see to the bat's rescue, and ordered Bratta and Brakket to come with him. After they flew to Scorpion territory and blew a hole in one of Aperture Mesa's surface tunnels, Bratta hung back and watched the makeshift entrance as Bliston and the other Bats on his strike team infiltrated the tunnel. Bratta later left and rendezvoused with the others in the jungle, where Bliston told her that the Bats and Scorpions had negotiated following the rescue, and the two tribes had agreed to officially ally under the new conditions, forming the Crawler Empire. Bliston and Bratta were then informed about events in the west by their scouts, on the way back to HQ.

### Bat—Raven War

Soon after arriving at Black Fang Mountain, a furious Bliston announced that the time had come to put an end to Rawlin's warmongering at Eagle Spire. Bliston, Brakket and Bratta co-piloted the newly-completed Bat Javelin, Bliston's command ship, and Balthazar was left in control of Black Fang Mountain while they were gone. Headed by the Bat Javelin, the Bat Army attacked the Ravens above Eagle Spire in full force, aiding the Eagles and Wings Row Monarchy Ravens against the Talon Industries Ravens. Bliston told them to drop him off at a point midway up the enormous tower, where Rawlin was. Bratta launched a missile from the Bat Javelin into the tower, starting a fire in the room. A bat also crashed a Wing Striker through the wall of the room, completely opening it up for Bliston to fly in. As Bliston confronted Rawlin, Bratta and Brakket continued battling TI Raven aircraft in the Bat Javelin. The Eagle, WRM, and Bat forces outnumbered and decimated the TI forces at Eagle Spire, completely destroying all the TI vehicles in the region except for the MMSC, which, after being heavily damaged, floated northeast with Bats and TI Ravens still fighting inside of it. Another bat, who'd flown into the Bat Javelin's third cockpit to take Bliston's place, saw Bliston get smashed through the wall of the spire by a construction crane piloted by Erlin. The enraged bat, thinking the eagle had killed his King, fired all the Bat Javelin's remaining missiles at the crane, completely destroying the construction vehicle with Erlin inside. Bratta, Brakket, and the other bat swooped down in the Bat Javelin, searching for Bliston, but they couldn't find him in the dense fog surrounding Eagle Spire. Bratta regrouped the scattered Bat forces still in the sky around the spire, and sent them back to Black Fang Mountain.

#### Drainage of Mount Cavora

In the Bat Javelin, Bratta and Brakket rendezvoused with multiple teams of bat scouts who'd been collecting spiderwebs across Chima and the Outlands. They landed on one of The Iron Mountains, where Bliston arrived from the Arctic Northern Regions with the heavily damaged, partially frozen MMSC. Bliston had Bratta bring the Bat Javelin and the scouts' Wing Strikers inside of the massive MMSC, which the Bats inside had taken over. Bliston piloted the barely-afloat MMSC south to the floating Mount Cavora, where Bratta, Bliston and the others stopped up the chi falls with the spiderwebs, claiming all the chi. On their way east, Bliston explained that they'd used the MMSC in order to frame the TI Ravens for the drainage of the chi falls, and thus turn the inland tribes against the Raven Tribe even more, which was a part of Bliston's larger plan.

#### Battle of Raven HQ

The Bats loaded the MMSC with hundreds of chi-powered explosives, and Bliston had a team fly northeast with the chi orbs they'd obtained from Cavora. As the explosives counted down, Bratta, Bliston and the other Bats flew the MMSC to the Raven HQ, which was still under TI control, until flying out of the command ship at the last minute. The MMSC crashed into the Raven HQ's central tower just as its explosives went off, causing a massive explosion that destroyed both the MMSC and much of the HQ. The Bats then aerially bombarded the ruins of the city, reducing it and most of the remaining TI Ravens to ash. Despite the Bats' victory against Talon Industries, Prince Razic, who'd been trying to retake Raven HQ for WRM, turned his forces on the Bats. It wasn't long, though, before Bliston ordered the Bats to leave, as he'd accomplished what he'd gone there to do. Bratta and the others flew back to Black Fang Mountain, leaving the WRM Ravens in The Great Desert, around the ruins of their former HQ.

### Verbal Infighting

Upon returning home, Bratta put the Bat Javelin back in the mountain's garage caves for repairs, before going to the throne room, where Bliston had been conversing with Scorpion Prince Scorpio and General Scorpix. The latter left the mountain after finishing his business with Bliston, but Scorpio stayed in the throne room, stumbling on his words. Bratta decided that the young Prince was a spoiled brat, and suggested that Bliston press the button on the arm of his throne, in order to drop him down the throne room's trapdoor into the pit at the bottom of the mountain (it was then that Scrin's venom started to 'activate', influencing Bratta to destroy the Prince of the Scorpion Tribe). Bliston, also becoming impatient with the scorpion, briefly considered it, but told Bratta that he couldn't execute Scorpio, since he was the son of Scorm. Bratta persisted in attempting to convince the Bat King to kill Scorpio, and Bliston grew angry with her, trying to explain to his sister that executing Scorpio would destroy their alliance with Scorm. As Scrin's venom briefly took full control over her mind, Bratta declared that mercy was for wimps, and that she'd never liked the Scorpions anyway, before attempting to press the button herself. Four bat guards behind Bliston's throne then grabbed Bratta and Scorpio. Two of the guards flew the scorpion out of the throne room, while the other two restrained Bratta from pressing the button. Two troops from the newly-formed Bat branch of the Black Overwatch assisted the guards in escorting Bratta to the Therapy Cave on Bliston's orders.

#### Therapy

Soon after being taken to the Therapy Cave on account of her actions in the throne room, Bratta was brought flowers by Barney Balhoun, who was now the leader of the Bats' half of Black Overwatch. However, Bratta began to act unusually hostile to Barney and the female therapist due to Scrin's venom, being sexist toward the former and aggressive toward the latter. The therapist decided to schedule weekly appointments for Bratta, and she hissed in response. Barney asked if he could participate in the sessions, and the therapist agreed. Barney was happy at that, but Bratta was still angry. Over the course of the ensuing therapy session, Bratta opened up to the therapist that the events of the Bat—Raven War, as well as Bliston's preparations for more wars, was causing her confusion and stress (while these statements were true, Bratta was unconsciously using them to excuse her venom-influenced actions, so her cover as a sleeper agent wouldn't be blown). The therapist explained Bliston's actions, and helped Bratta with her apparent problems.

#### Time in the Mental Asylum

At Barney's request, the therapist took them down into the Mental Asylum Cave, where Bachell had just been imprisoned for trying to kidnap Scorpio after the Scorpion Prince left the mountain. In the cave's cell block, they met the only two captives there: Bachell, and the insane bat Braxin. The latter tried to scream at Bratta and Barney that the "hunters of the north" were real, but only Bratta somewhat payed heed to his words. Barney then tried to take Bachell out of the asylum in order to recruit her into Black Overwatch, but a mysterious bat doctor stopped him, and took Bachell into the interrogation room. As the rogue scientist was cured of Scrin's mind-control and then interrogated, Bratta and Barney stayed in the cell block to await the results.

##### A Conspiracy Unmasked

Soon, a couple of bat nurse-soldiers clasped Bratta in chi shock handcuffs and put her in a cell, as Bachell came out of the interrogation room, laughed at the sight of Bratta in her former cell, and reunited with her fellow bat scientists. The doctor from before explained to Barney that Bachell, after being cleansed of Scrin's poison, had revealed that Bratta was a sleeper agent as well. The nurses then took Bratta out of her cell, and extracted Scrin's venom from her body using the same machine they'd used for Bachell. Bratta, now free of Scrin's control, was interrogated by the doctor, who asked her when, where, and how Scrin (by now widely known as The Forgotten's leader) had stung her. However, Bratta was unable to answer, since the effects of the venom had erased her memory of the immediate events leading up to her being stung. As such, Bratta wasn't able to warn Scorm and the Crawler Empire of Scrin's suspicions around Scortica.

### Birth of Bernard

The doctor gave out an order for the Bats to lock down on any possible Forgotten presence within Black Fang Mountain, though Bratta and Bachell had been the only spies within the tribe. As the doctor and his assistant argued about the Forgotten's motives, word spread through Black Fang Mountain that Bliston's wife had just given birth to Bat Prince Bernard. Bratta flew to the hospital cave to meet her nephew, and apologized to Bliston for her actions, explaining that she'd been brainwashed by Scrin. Soon after, Bliston sent Barney and Brakket to Rhino territory to continue the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War. Bratta remained in the mountain to recover from the lingering psychological effects of being mind-controlled. When Bliston returned to Gorilla HQ to negotiate with Gorbav and Rhino Queen Rixia Rolex following the Battle of Rhino HQ, Bratta disappeared for unknown reasons, so, since Balthazar had long since been transferred to Bat Island, Barney was left in charge of the HQ.

### Co-Leading the Bat Tribe

Bratta eventually reappeared in Black Fang Mountain, where she was flying to the upper levels of the HQ, and met General Badrar. When Bratta asked what he was doing, Badrar received a private radio message from Bliston, ordering him to take the rest of the Bat Army to Eagle territory, to reinforce the Black Overwatch blockade. Badrar then departed with legions of Bats. Since Bratta had been found, Barney left with Badrar to resume command of his own forces, and Bratta was left in charge of Black Fang Mountain. While sitting on her brother's throne, Bratta pouted, as the responsibilities of her rank began to take a toll on her. In the throne room, Bratta overheard bat scientists talking about the strange expedition that Head Scientist Dr. Benjamin had recently undertaken. The scientists explained it at Bratta's behest, and she called Benjamin insane for venturing into the Arctic.

   Soon after, a shell launched by the Schrewerer Gustav hit Black Fang Mountain near its peak, destroying some turrets and causing an avalanche. Bratta then put the rest of the mountain's turrets on full alert. As the Bats began clearing away the boulders and rebuilding the destroyed turrets, bat and scorpion ambassadors, piloting a Wing Striker and Stinger-Copter respectively, arrived at the HQ, voicing their suspicions that King Bliston had been betrayed and captured by the Gorillas. A private radio transmission from Scorponok then came in, confirming the ambassadors' fears. To aid Scorponok in rescuing Bliston, Bratta sent a strike force of Bats in Wing Strikers and Super-Tanks west, heading for the Gorilla Jungle. Angered by the capture of her brother, Bratta began contributing more to the war effort. She had production doubled on all vehicles in Black Fang Mountain's factory caves, and sent them to reinforce the defense of the Crawler Empire's newly-claimed inland territories.

### Betrayal and Imprisonment

A bounty was placed on Barney Balhoun's head by Grand Admiral Balthazar soon after, and Bratta learned that Barney had betrayed the Bat Tribe, joining the Forgotten. Bratta, distraught, was surprised to receive a private letter from Barney, telling her that he still cared about her, and wanted her to join the Forgotten. Over the course of the time Bliston was captured, Bratta continued communicating with Barney through secret letters, in which Barney continued urging her to join his defection. Bratta denied at first due to her bad experience with Scrin, but learned that a different scorpion named Scordon Freeman had apparently become the acting leader of the Forgotten. Since she now cared more about Barney than Bliston and the Empire, Bratta agreed to join the Forgotten. Through more letters, she conspired with Barney about how she would escape from Black Fang Mountain. However, after receiving and reading Barney's final letter, Bratta was ambushed and seized by Bats commanded by Grand Admiral Balthazar, who flew into the throne room through the mountain peak's cave mouth. To Bratta's shock, Balthazar revealed that he'd suspected Bratta of future treason due to her love interest's defection, her subtle mannerisms when interacting with her brother, and other small details. The brilliant Admiral explained that he'd spied on Bratta and found all of Barney's letters. Balthazar had the Bats lock Bratta in a cell within the prison cave for her betrayal, deciding that her fate should be determined by her brother. Her cell was guarded by eight Bats at all times, and had no radio device.

### Crawler—Ice Hunter War

Bratta remained imprisoned until ice started spreading throughout Black Fang Mountain, freezing her guards. A returned Bliston unlocked his sister's cell and pulled her out just as her cell and the prison warden froze. Bliston took Bratta with him out of the HQ, and they landed on the peak of the mountain, where Bratta could see a massive battle between the Bat Army and ice-powered bears, which the Bats were losing. As Black Fang Mountain was frozen by the invaders from the north, Bliston put his wife, his son, and his sister in a dropship hovering next to the mountain's peak. Bliston faced off against the white Bears' King on the peak, sacrificing himself so the rest of his family could escape. Bratta saw Bliston getting frozen through the dropship's open loading doorway as they flew off.

#### Two Narrow Escapes

Bewildered at what had so suddenly happened, Bratta asked Bliston's wife what was going on, but she was just as confused. Scrin then teleported inside of the dropship, alarming Bratta and the others. Scrin offered them a chance to join the Forgotten, but Balthazar called through the radio, telling the scorpion that Bliston's family would be put under his care on Bat Island. Scrin persisted, explaining that, while he didn't need the child, the two sister-in-laws were potentially valuable to his plans. A stray ice laser blasted the dropship before Bliston's wife could make her decision, causing her to fall out of the dropship and get frozen as she fell (one of the two bat soldiers in the dropship caught baby Bernard before he could fall too). Bratta hastily agreed to Scrin's proposal, and he took her with him, teleporting with her to an unknown location in another dimension. There, she was eventually reunited with Barney, who Scrin had rescued from the post-Uprising ruins of Scorpion Cavern Castle just as Solrac's explosives had detonated. Realizing after returning to Chima that they'd been manipulated by Scrin and forced to do his bidding as hostages, the couple broke free of his control, leaving the Forgotten as that faction regrouped and restructured itself.

### Arrival on New Bat Island

Over the course of the next few months, Barney and Bratta married, obtained a Wing Striker somewhere, and learned about the Bat Tribe's migration to New Bat Island following the Crawler—Ice Hunter War. Flying their Wing Striker to the island, far away from Chima's mainland, they landed on an eastern beach. Barney and the now pregnant Bratta started hiking uphill to find civilization, and Barney passed out. Bats in Wing Strikers arrived and took Bratta and Barney to a hospital in Balthazar City, where Barney was rehabilitated and Bratta gave birth to her twins. Bliston (who Bratta noticed was wearing Phoenix armor, like all the other adult Bats on the island besides her and Barney) and Barney soon came into her delivery room, where Bliston announced that he'd let them both return to the tribe, but not retain their original ranks due to their betrayal. Bratta thanked her brother and asked him to name her children. Bliston named the boy Belkor (a shortened version of Bliston's last name, Belkoroth), and the girl Belris.

#### Revelations

Bliston asked Bratta and Barney what had happened to them after Scrin teleported her off the dropship, and Bratta explained that they'd both been taken to an unknown alternate dimension before being brought back to Chima. Since Bratta and Barney didn't have any more information about the other dimension, Bliston explained that he would tell them the reason why the Bat Tribe migrated from the mainland, after the two of them recovered. Bliston gave them directions to his castle, and Barney followed him out of the hospital. Leaving her children with the caretakers in the hospital, Bratta went to Bliston's castle after recovering, where Bliston was talking to Barney about a mysterious western empire. Bratta, noticing Bliston's Phoenix armor and realizing that much of Chima's history was a mystery to her, asked Bliston how much he now knew. Bliston explained that he'd researched much of Chima's history by then, and Bratta and Barney asked him to relate what he'd learned. He told them about the Elemental Balance, and in turn the Empire of Balance and the history of the Icebear—Leopard War, stating that only the pasts of the Mammoths, both Tiger species, and the western beings were still mysteries to him.

#### An Unexpected Return

At the same time, former Scorpion King Scorm, despite his earlier assassination by Scordon Freeman while in the Lions' captivity, washed ashore on New Bat Island, fully conscious. Bliston ordered him to be taken to the throne room, where Barney and Bratta were shocked by Scorm's apparent resurrection. While Bratta remained to demand an explanation, Barney left the throne room, already beginning his military training again to re-climb the rank ladder. Bratta ended up leaving the throne room as well to take her children from the hospital, but returned with them in time to witness the reunion between Crawler kings. Upon being asked by Bliston who'd killed him and who'd revived him, Scorm answered with Freeman and Scrin, respectively, explaining that he hadn't been revived through Chi Ghost means, but in a fully alive and physical state. Bliston then stated that the Forgotten had colonized a small island to the south, musing that they may need to be "kept in check".

Scorm grew increasingly impatient and loud out of his intense hatred for the Forgotten, causing Bratta to grow angry in turn due to the scorpion's screaming making her children cry. Bratta ended up plugging chi, grabbing Scorm by the tail, and swinging the former Scorpion King in a circle before hurling him through the window of the throne room. Bratta then took her children and left for her and Barney's new home in the city, while Bliston used this unexpected action (resulting in Scorm's fall to the city square far below) to prove whether Scorm was truly an immortal zombie, or an impostor; it proved to be the former.

### Life in Balthazar City

Some time later, a bored Bratta wandered through Bliston's castle with her sleeping children, wondering what other tribes or lands resided on The West Sea, when Barney dropped in front of her from his upside-down perch, and announced that he was officially back in the Bat Military after completing the new training program. Barney expressed confidence that he'd eventually regain a Commander rank, before leaving to tell as much to Bliston. Bratta, meanwhile, returned home to feed Belris and Belkor.

#### Affairs with the Wolves

Soon after, Bratta and Barney flew by a landing pad as a bat diplomat was meeting with the recently arrived Wol'jin. The couple overheard the Wolf Alpha's words about a fugitive who'd beached on New Bat Island, and Barney remarked that capturing this criminal could possibly earn him a promotion. Barney then interrupted the meeting and excitedly introduced himself to Wol'jin, after which Bratta helped the bat guards to restrain her husband and pull him away. Though Bratta wasn't involved in the matters with the Wolves following this, she likely heard about how Barney had helped to defeat the fugitive, former Wolf Security Bureau agent Wegor, and deliver him to Countess Wendy.

#### Family Matters

Later, Bratta privately met with Bliston, informing her brother that the Bats were beginning to grow restless in this time of peace, and reminding him that they were a militaristic species by nature. She had also grown skeptical as to whether the hostile western species truly existed, accusing her brother of inventing this threat in order to satisfy the Bats' thirst for fighting during peacetime, but Bliston angrily reminded her that many other Bats could attest to their existence, and that the late Balthazar had been the one to encounter and destroy the foreign scout ship during the Bat Fleet's voyages. Bratta apologized for doubting the Bat King (though still harbored some skepticism), and returned to her children.

Months later, a proud Bratta and Barney were watching their children walk on their own, when Bratta decided to visit her brother again. She found Bliston and his wife with the toddler Prince Bernard in the "Tropical Park", a sectioned-off portion of the jungle next to Balthazar City. Bratta asked Bliston if he was feeling alright, and he assured her he was, when a Fire Eagle Flyer modified to be a troop transport arrived above New Bat Island, requesting landing. Bratta asked why the Eagles would come, and Bliston explained that their new king had requested a Tribal Summit between as many of Chima's leaders as possible, and that the Eagles intended to hold the meeting in the Bats' embassy atop Mount Cavora. Bliston left his family in Tropical Park to go meet with the new arrivals.

#### Battle with Eris

Bratta first followed Bliston to the castle, intrigued by this new Eagle King. Bratta was present for the beginning of Bliston's meeting with the supposed King Erdrik, who had his face covered by a battle mask at all times. However, she ended up instead following the eagle warrior Eris, who Bratta had grown suspicious of due to Eris having flown off on her own into the city. After exchanging a look with her brother that silently told Bratta to keep an eye on Eris, she tracked the eagle to one of the castle's courtyards and ambushed her. Bratta pinned down Eris and demanded to know what she was snooping around for, suspecting correctly that the eagle was looking for Barney. Eris explained that Barney had been a legendary Forgotten Commander during the war with The Combine, but Bratta accused the eagle of trying to 'steal' her husband. Overcome by jealousy, Bratta furiously battled Eris just as Bliston was leaving for the Tribal Summit in the Bat Javelin.

Bat soldiers soon arrived and attempted to break up the fight, which ended when Eris managed to hold Bratta at blade-point, only to be knocked unconscious by Barney using his BOSIAS rifle. As Bats and Eagles alike surrounded the site of the skirmish, 'Erdrik' apologized for Eris' actions, placing the blame fully on the rogue eagle and assuring the Bats that he hadn't ordered her to attack anyone. Barney explained that Eris had been a friend under his indirect command in the Forgotten, but that he'd grant no mercy to anyone who attacked his wife. 'Erdrik' then claimed that the only truly fair punishment was one exactly equal to the crime, and asked Bratta what specific parts of her body had been injured in the fight, so that the same injuries could be inflicted upon Eris. The other Eagles, taken aback by this, told their king that Bratta didn't seem very injured, and that they could simply take Eris back to Eagle Spire and question her about this.

##### Aftermath

As the Eagles took a groaning Eris to their jet and departed, Barney helped up Bratta, revealing that he knew she had instigated the fight, and demanded to know why. Bratta explained that she thought Eris had a romantic interest in her husband due to the eagle specifically seeking him out, but Barney assured her that they'd simply been friends in his Forgotten days. Bratta somewhat regretted attacking Eris as she watched the Eagles leave, and went back home with Barney. Later, when Bliston returned from the Tribal Summit, Bratta was at first unaware of his arrival as she played with the now-toddler Belkor and Belris at home. Bratta has not been seen since then, most likely continuing to take care of her children as they grow up.

## Appearance, Gear, and Traits

Appearance: Being an almost amazonian height of 6’9”, Bratta's body structure is a bit muscular thanks to all the hard vigor in working out she has done to impress her brother. She is one of the few Bats in the tribe (along with Barney) to have white/cream colored fur; it's a recessive trait from her parents, who both had mixed genes. Bliston got the dominant gene whilst Bratta held onto the recessive to have white fur. She has hetero-chromatic eyes, with one eye being green, the other being orange-gold. She often wears purple-red lipstick as well. Her nose has a strange diamond-like depression in the middle of it, but it doesn't hinder her nasal breathing in any way.

Along with that, Bratta has a different wing color than her elder brother. That was handed down from her mother, from whom Bratta derived her last name, “Lavenderwing”. Her wings are a beautiful gradient of lavender to charcoal black. Bratta is proud of her unique wings, as they display feminine traits. Bratta has a rather semi-petite physique as well, and often wears a corset along with a chi harness attached to crossing bandoliers; connecting to front and back hooks on the corset. Her leg wear often consists of Outland silk leggings with holes for the long toe claws on her feet. Though Bliston has criticized her for not wearing proper armor during battle, Bratta has argued that the lighter clothes give her greater agility, especially with chi plugged. It is unknown if Bratta ever plugged fire chi, which would've transformed these clothes into Phoenix armor.

(Originally posted by Thefirstdecade on the "Chima Archives - Character Profiles" topic.)

Weapons and Gear: Duel Chi Revolvers that look like the NERF Maverick Rev-6. That and her patented bat-a-rangs that are almost exactly like Batman’s. She also has a nice lavender colored Sonoranti (medium-sized bat laser rifle) as a backup weapon.

Personality: Sly, persuasive, tomboyish, smart, manipulative, mostly like her brother.

## Trivia

* Though she was introduced a while after JGREAD created the Black Fang Mountain topic, Bratta was one of the first LMBE Chima RP bat characters created as a concept; along with her brother 'Blistion' (who JGREAD derived from to create Bliston), Bratta was a character Thefirstdecade had originally proposed for his story about Scorpio, before offering to adapt these characters into the RP when the Outland tribes were being created.
* Bratta's bio on the Character Profiles topic states that her age is 24. However, it was later stated by Thefirstdecade that, like Bliston, her exact age is unknown, but that she's in the late twenties to early thirties range; this was likely done to make her closer in age to Bliston and Barney. Bratta was the third Chima RP character to have her age retconned after her initial profile, the first two being Erlin and Rawlin.
* Thefirstdecade had initially planned for Bratta to be a willing Forgotten spy within the Bat Tribe, which would've disrupted the intended narrative contrast between Bliston and Scorm (the former having more loyal followers and no real infighting); he and JGREAD compromised by having her briefly be an unwilling sleeper agent controlled by Scrin, and then leaving the tribe, rather than remaining as a spy, only after learning that Barney had done the same.
