“*I am Brea , youngest daughter of the All-Maudra*”
―Brea to SkekOk
**Princess Brea** is one of the three main protagonists of Netflix's and Jim Henson's dark fantasy adventure series, *The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance*. She is the daughter of the All-Maudra Mayrin and the younger sister of Seladon and Tavra.

She, Rian and Deet bring together all seven of their clans in an attempt to start a rebellion against the Skeksis and learn the true extents of their power and save the world.

## Background

Brea is a Gelfling Princess of the Vapra clan who lived during the Age of Division. This was before the Skeksis ordered the execution of the Gelflings. She was is the youngest daughter of Mayrin, the All-Maudra of the Gelflings. She bores of the royal life and prefers to read the books and remain in the library of Ha'rar. This signifies she has a fascination with history and a love of books and craved adventure.

### Personality

Though she finds her studies as a princess tiresome, she wishes to go out into the world by joining Rian and Deet to spark the rebellion against the Skeksis.

Brea would mostly hang out in in a library rather than attend her duties as a princess.

Brea also could not get along with her eldest sister, Seladon. According to Tavra, they are actually quite similar, being that they are both stubborn and have a complicated relationship with each other. However, after the death of their sister, Brea and Seladon fully reconciled because they are all the family they have left.

She also cares deeply for Deet and Rian over their journey and both fought alongside each other during the Garthim War.

### Powers and Abilities

* **Retractable Wings**
	+ **Flight:** Revealed in the prequel, unlike Kira, who could only use it to slow her falls, Brea can fly with her wings and slow down her falls when she jumps down from tall heights.
* **Gelfling Magic -** Brea has powers and abilities just like other Gelflings
	+ **Dreamfasting:** Brea can share her memories and thoughts with other Gelfling and vice versa whenever she is in physical contact with other Gelflings by touching hands. When she dreamfasted with her mother, they were summoned by Aughra to the Dream World and was able to communicate with her and her other friends, even though they were in different parts of the world
	+ **Longevity** - As revealed in *The Power of the Dark Crystal*, Gelflings can live for centuries, as with Jen and Kira. It possibly means that Brea ages the same rate as they do and is at the equivalent of a teenager.
* **Knowledge:** Brea spends time in the library and has grown with vast knowledge.
	+ **Writing**
	+ **Reading Books:** Brea was capable of reading piles of books and learn so much.
	+ **Drawing:** Due to having a journal, Brea can be an excellent drawer as she drew the symbol of the Gelfling Clan that she witnessed in the library.
	+ **Translating:** Brea is able to translate ancient Gelfling runes, which is what she did before she met Lore.

## *The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance*

### End. Begin. All the Same.

Brea is introduced as the care-free princess and the youngest daughter of the All-Maudra Mayrin and allowed to spend her times in the library with the Librarian as her only companion. As she is reading, Brea asks if the Librarian has all the books she requested, he realizes he didn't get all the books she wanted and goes back to retrive the ones she needs. Suddenly, Brea's second eldest sister, Tavra approaches and as Brea shows her sister things she found interesting and her illustrations of the mother of Thra, Mother Aughra. However, Tavra reveals that she is here for a serious matter: the Skeksis are coming to the tiding ceremony, and informs her younger sister that their mother is allowing her to attend, much to Brea's delight and wants to ask all the questions she wants to the Skeksis. However, Tavra advises her against it, as the Skeksis hate answering questions and insists they will be late if they delay any longer. Brea takes her book and says she will ask at least one question.

When she and her sister make their way to the castle, Brea hears that the Skeksis lords are there and separated from Tavra. She ran out towards the street but is nearly squashed by the Skeksis' carriage. SkekOk exits out of the carriage and warns Brea to be careful next time lest she be squashed. When he overhears the people whisper about her and call her "Princess," SkekOk instead invites her to ride with them. Grateful, Brea takes his invitation and is allowed in the carriage as other people begin whispering that she is blessed to travel with them.

Brea is introduced to skekOk's companion, skekLach, and Brea begins to bond with SkekOk about knowledge and books while also wishing to take a look at his library. However, SkekLach, annoyed with his companions, discourages Brea against questions, as they can be very dangerous, SkekOk brushes his fellow Skeksis off and tells Brea that skekLach was never beautiful. Arriving at the All-Maudra's palace, Brea finds that her mother is crossed with her and ashamed, Brea joins her sisters' sides. Seladon scolds Brea and tells her that their mother will send her to the Order of the Lesser Services if she continues this behavior. Brea in turn tells her sister that Seladon is just jealous that she got to ride in the Lords' carriage and Seladon did not.

During the Tiding Ceremony, Brea watches as the Skeksis are appalled by how small one of the Gelfling farmers and his wife's tidings are. Brea insists that it is not fair, but Brea is denied all her thoughts by Seladon and Tavra. After the tidings ceremony, Brea goes to the library for more research about the Skeksis and when the librarian catches her, he attempts to dissuade her from looking any further. When Brea snaps she must know the truth, suddenly a magic force came from a book and wreaked havoc in the library, causing the librarian to retreat. As Brea stayed, a symbol formed before her eyes and ran to her mother's quarters. Tired of the day, Mayrin attempted to defect Brea's claims and said she read to many stories. However, Brea assured her mother this was real and wanted to dreamfast with her to show Mayrin the symbol she saw. However, Brea stopped when she saw her mother was wearing the necklace that the Skeksis had taken from the farmer and his wife. The duo begin arguing but Mayrin stops the fight. She tells Brea to start acting like a princess by attending meetings and attending to royal duties. Brea takes the necklace the Skeksis stole and gave it back to the farmer's wife

### Nothing Is Simple Anymore

Curious about her symbol, Brea sought for more answers, and went to the Sifan clan, under the reluctant given advisement of the Librarian, because they were knowledgeable when it came to symbols. The librarian took her to see the villiage Elder, Cadia, who welcomed Brea but dismissed the Librarian. When Brea showed Cadia her symbol, he lied to her and told Brea that it symbolized the end of everything. He later attempted to give her powdered nulroot, known for its memory loss enducing properties, and lied, telling her that it would connect them to the Dream Space. However, Brea read all about nulroot and dropped her money. While Cadia and his assistant Onica picked up her money, she swapped the drinks, so this time, Cadia would drink it. He became enraged when Brea revealed she had switched the teas and grabbed onto her. Brea yelled for him to release her when Onica took a nearby jug and knocked Cadia out when he wouldn't release her. Onica promised to help Brea read her symbol, because it is not just a symbol for the end of everything, but the beginning as well. She tells Brea to find the brightest jewel in her mother's throne. When Cadia woke up, he had lost his memory, causing Brea to see that she was in so much trouble. When Mayrin figured out what to do with Brea's previous insubordination, Seladon manipulates her mother into sending Brea to the Order of Lesser Services.

### What Was Sundered and Undone

Brea was forced to wear a court jester hat and to learn her mistake during the Order of Lesser Services. One of the Gelfling girls, Juni, begins annoying Brea, who both reveal why they are in the Ordder. When Brea told Juni her offense, it left the Gelfling girl speechless. Fed up with washing a podling girl, Brea let the Podling go while she left, both promising not to tell on the other person. When running away, Brea's sister, Tavra, tells Brea that there has been a murder at the Castle and that the Gelfling Rian killed one of their own annd was ordered by Mayrin to bring him to Ha'rar. Brea began blaming Seladon for most of her problems but Tavra disagreed and said that Seladon and her were more alike than they thought because they are both stubborn. Despite them coming across each other, Tavra and Brea hug and later go their separate ways.

Brea manages to sneak into Ha'rar and she flies up to her mother's room while stealing the brightest jewel in her mother's room. She goes back to Onica and Cadia, but when she gets to the tent, Brea is afraid that she was too late, but Onica and Cadia had not left yet. Brea gave Onica the jewel, thinking it was a payment but Onica revealed that it was the chrysalis of a unamoth and that it would lead Brea to the answers she seeked.  Brea used the unamoth that led her to her mother's throneroom and entered a chamber underneath the throne that the unamoth had opened

### The First Thing I Remember Is Fire

Later, Brea went into the caverns beneath the throne room, where she discovered a trinket and used it to open a secret chamber after reading an inscription on the door that reads, "Thra's true balance will be found when natural order is sound." She found columns that contained the many symbols of the seven Gelfling clans and found she needed to activate the chambers with the amulet by going from the Gelfling heirarchy. However, Brea spends all night trying to figure out the code that she read from outside earlier but finds that every time she uses different combinations, the chamber stops activating. Brea discovers that she is approaching this the wrong way and realizes that the hierarcy was a lie. She casted the amulet down on a pile of rocks, which activates rock-like creature, Lore, when Brea realizes that all Gelfling are one and the same. He plays a recording made by SkekGra, instructing Brea that Lore will protect her on her journey to the Circle of the Suns to find out how to end Skeksis power. One of the Paladins overhear the recording and storm in the chambers with Seladon, who worriedly yells for Brea to get away from the creature and knows it spoke herasy. However, Brea stops the conflict before it gets worse and tells Lore that Seladon is her sister. Though Lore calms down, Seladon demands in horror to her sister what she did

### She Knows All the Secrets

Later, Seladon berates Brea for creating the creature below the throne. The bickering sisters were stopped by the arrival from their mother who yelled for them to stop fighting. Mayrin asked her daughter why she was not at the Order. Brea responded that she ran away but for good reason and tries telling her about the secret chamber but Mayrin interrupted her and informed her daughters the Skeksis were there. Seladon began explaining that Brea had created Lore below, but Brea managed to convince Mayrin that she will want to hear what Lore has to say. Won over by Brea, Mayrin sends Seladon to check on the farms to learn more of the mysterious Blight. Brea watched as Mayrin hugged Seladon, who glared at Brea before Seladon left in anger. Mayrin told her youngest daughter to lead her to her monster.

Brea took Mayrin to where Lore was being held. Hey mother was amazed by the creature, causing Mayrin to apologize for doubting her daughter. She asks Brea how she managed to find this place and mother and daughter dreamfast. However, at that moment, instead of dreamfasting normally, Mayrin and Brea instead awoke in the Dream Space because Aughra had been chanting an old spell that caused them to wake up there. It was here that Brea had met Rian, Deet, Gurjin, Naia and Kylan. She noticed that the Crystal was cracked but Aughra brought the Gelfling princess' attention back to her. As Aughra explained that their world was dying and she called then there to end the Skeksis' rule, Seladon appeared and began convincing her fellow Gelfling not to listen to Aughra. Brea noticed her sister's anger and her embitterment to her mother never acknowledging Seladon. Aughra sent Seladon back and decided that Brea and her friends were the true heroes of Thra. Surrounding the Crystal, Brea learned of the Skeksis' draining of Mira through Rian and of the darkening from Deet while Brea revealed her struggles as well. Realizing that Thra was in danger, Brea was told by Aughra that she, Rian and Deet are to travel to the Circle of the Suns with Lore to learn the secrets of ending Skeksis' rule before telling the others to spark the fires of Rebellion, with Mayrin assured Aughra that the Vapra Clan are the first blaze of the fires of Rebellion. Aughra sent Brea back to her body, where Brea and Mayrin back at the secret chamber.

Realizing that the volunteers Mayrin gave to SkekVar and SkekZok were going to be drained, Mayrin hastened her daughter to stop the volunteers. Suddenly, Brea and Mayrin come across Deet being guarded by the paladins. The girls and Mayrin immediately recognize each other. Deet's friend, Hup wanted to become a paladin and told the Maudra of his wish, causing Brea to ask if the podling was in his right mind until Deet explained what Hup wanted. Though there was no time, Mayrin accepted Hup as a paladin. Later at the throne room, when Mayrin openly opposed the Skeksis, Brea watched in horror as her mother was murdered by the General. Filled with grief, the young princess fell to the floor with Seladon to their mother. Blinded by anger and still loyal to the Skeksis, she called Brea a traitor and disowned her as her sister. Seladon shunned Brea and had her arrested along with Hup and Deet.

### By Gelfling Hand ...

As Brea, Deet and Hup were being taken away, she called the Skeksis murderers, for SkekVar had killed her mother. The trio and five other paladins were imprisoned and taken to the castle to be drained. Fortunately, Lore heard Brea's screams and went to aid her. Simultaneously, Rian, Kylan, Naia and Gurjin had arrived and followed the Skeksis on their Armaligs and saved Brea and the other Gelfling with help from Lore. Reunited, Brea and Deet hugged Rian, glad he helped rescue them. Everyone but the paladins knew the truth and believed the Skeksis lies. Rian announced he would depart, however, Brea told him otherwise. She and Deet stood by his side and defended their new friend. Brea told the Paladins they could trust Rian as he was their friend as the Skeksis were their enemies as Deet urged him to tell them the truth. Rian explained his story and all the paladins agreed to dreamfast with him. Now with the Paladins as their allies, they helped spread Rian's and his friends' stories across Thra while Brea and her allies made their way to the Crystal Desert as Aughra instructed.

As they entered the desert, the Gelfling decided to camp for the night while Brea distanced herself from her friends, mourning her mother. Deet noticed her companion's sadness, where Brea revealed that she felt guilty for leaving her mother's body and never being able to give her a proper burial and began to blame herself. To alleviate Brea's distress, Deet told her friend that they would hold their own ceremony and honor the All-Maudra. Thankful, Brea sight comfort from Deet, calling her a true friend. During the all Maudra's funeral, Brea didn't know what to say about her mother. Rian helped Brea by revealing his relationship with his father. The princess compared her relationship to her mother and realized that when get mother said "I love you," Mayrin always meant it. The Gelfling and Hup perform a song for the All-Maudra as an orb that Brea was given to by Kylan was filled with their music and would travel across all of Thra and be heard to those who remembered Mayrin.

The next morning, the company was found by Rek'yr of the Dousan Clan, where he came to them after hearing their song, touching their hearts. Brea revealed that the woman was her mother, offer his condolences for the loss of Mayrin and gives her a bone necklace for good luck. As Rek'yr offers his services to Brea and her friends, she requests he take her and some of her companions to the Circle of the Suns. Initially, Rek'yr refuses and tries to convince Brea too let him take her an her friend somewhere else. The clever princess pretends to walk away and understands if they are too scared, then they don't have to help her. Rek'yr concedes and promises to take her at least as far as he can. However, Rian attempted to deter Brea from trusting Rek'yr, but the princess disagrees and wins the argument. They bid farewell to Kylan, Gurjin and Naia, who go to spread the word of the Skeksis' crimes and spark the flames of Rebellion as Brea, Hup, Deet, Rian and Lore departed with Rek'yr and his crew to the Circle of the Suns, unaware that they were being hunted by SkekMal.
