Brielle
SupportingA young woman with fair skin that flushes easily across her cheeks or pales when seasick, straight brown hair drawn back into a knot at her nape with loose strands escaping or plaited over one shoulder and sometimes streaming behind her while running, and striking honey-colored eyes lit with amber starbursts that dull only when she is utterly spent. Her pretty, emotive face holds an upturned nose and cheekbones that grow hollow after days of little food, paired with a curvy build whose generous curves are outlined by whatever she wears. She is most often seen in the simple blue dresses or gray gowns of a lady's maid but readily adopts a tunic and tight pants for travel and combat, appearing as a loyal, resilient companion whose entire presence radiates quiet determination and care.
Brielle emerges in the Shield of Sparrows series as a devoted lady's maid whose quiet resilience and striking honey-colored eyes mask a heart torn by unrequited love.

Heartbroken by her fiancé Banner's betrothal to Odessa, Brielle's emotive presence radiates unwavering care amid personal turmoil, hinting at her potential for deeper agency in future books.
