Editing Briar Girl (section)

==Art==
Briar Girl's specialty as a practitioner is the creation of [[Feorgbold]] and she is somewhat wise towards things like [[Demons]], citing that the balance was important and they oppose it. She is also proficient with [[Shapeshifting]] and knowledgeable about the subject. 

She's modified her body so that she can survive the wilderness better and the cold doesn't bother her.<ref>“I’m guessing she can probably smell it on you, too,” I said.<br><br>The Briar Girl smiled again. I noticed her teeth weren’t stellar, and there might have been one missing among the back molars. “Now it’s my turn to ask how you might know that.”<br><br>“If I were living in the woods, hunting and foraging for my food, probably selling what I could to buy creature comforts like clothes, I might try to wrangle the same thing,” I said. “I can’t help but notice the cold doesn’t bother you, either, so you’re doing ''some things'' to make life easier for you.”<br><br>''Not to mention that your familiar might demand something along those lines.'' I glanced at the thing, and it huffed hot breath into the air, where it fogged around the snout and the intense yellow bird’s eyes. If I didn’t have experience through Rose, I might not have even considered that the hot breath was purely for show. A spirit didn’t need to breathe any more than a vestige did.<br><br>“I’ve made a good few changes,” the Briar Girl said. Her attention flickered to her familiar, as well. “Not enough, it seems.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Damages 2.1]]</ref>

She has a range of forest Others as spies and servants,<ref>Others were lurking around the area, but they hung back in groups.<br><br>The Briar Girl’s spies, more than an attacker of any sort.<br>[...]<br>“Briar Girl!” I screamed, again. I could feel the connection, now. The Others at the periphery of the area reacted. Some retreating, some drawing closer. Messengers and warriors. Plant and animal spirits, elementals, and dark, gnarled animal things with an overabundance of teeth and claws. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/15 Excerpt] from [[Breach 3.1]]</ref> many of which she created, such as birdlike [[Homonculus|Homunculi]].<ref>“Briar-”<br><br>A bird landed in front of me, a storm of wings and feathers.<br><br>Black and white, instead of a beak, it had a very human face on a tall head, pale, with features reminiscent of one of the statues on Easter Island. Exaggerated, stern, any eyes hidden beneath the shadows of a heavy brow.<br><br>“Thank you for answering,” I said.<br><br>“What are ''you'' doing, calling me?” the thing asked, speaking in her voice.<br><br>“I want to deal,” I said. “I know what you want, you know what I want. We’re going to talk sooner or later, so let’s talk.”<br><br>“Follow the homunculus,” she replied. The bird-thing turned to prepare to fly away.<br>[...]<br>I trudged through the snow, while the homunculus-bird circled back to keep me in sight, allowing me to follow. <br>[...]<br>Rose continued, “The homunculus, I recognize that word. Manufactured life. You made it. A lot of these Others are tools, aren’t they? Hand crafted Others? They’re weapons as much as that hatchet is.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/15  Excerpt] from [[Breach 3.1]]</ref>
===Essentia===
*Briar Girl's [[Implement]] is unknown but apparently a stick<ref name=":1">[[Damages 2.1]]</ref> or staff<ref>“To sanction the use of the Jacob’s Bell witch hunters to execute Maggie Holt, please vote,” Sandra Duchamp declared.<br><br>The Briar Girl raised her staff. One member of Laird’s family, a teenage boy with brown hair, raised a golden disc, held between crossed index and middle fingers. He looked back at Maggie, and she rolled her eyes.<br>https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/15 Nobody else in the room raised their implements. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/01/21 Excerpt] from [[Damages 2.2]]</ref> of some sort.
*Briar Girl has no [[Demesne]].
*Briar Girl has a forest spirit as a [[Familiar]] that takes the form of a rabbit, but it's true form is that of a shifting mishmash of animals.<ref name=":1" /><ref>The words were barely out of my mouth when the rabbit Briar Girl held leaped from her arms. By the time it hit the ground, it was ten times the size. A wolf, almost as large as a horse, but with feathers instead of fur. The patterns, length, and direction of the feathers were reminiscent of flames curling in the air.<br><br>Rather than the wolf’s ferocious snarl, however, the demeanor was more fitting for a bird of prey or a reptile. Cold, still, and emotionless.<br><br>When I looked at the individual details, they weren’t fitting, either. The wolf’s claws were more like talons. The teeth too narrow and clean to belong to a real wolf. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/18 Excerpt] from [[Breach 3.2]]</ref> It whispers to her in a language only she knows.<ref>I could see the Briar Girl deliberating. She stroked her rabbit. Her familiar.
The thing was <em>whispering</em>. Not speaking, per se, but I could see it communicating, speaking a language only it and its master could understand. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/18 Excerpt] from [[Breach 3.2]]</ref> It holds more control of Briar Girl as it is stronger and desires her to become stronger as well.
