Appearance/Description
A woman with long brown hair.<ref name=":0">It was as if everyone in the crowd was walking left or right, except for one person that stood still. A woman with long brown hair, wearing a
red dress and sandals with straps that wound their way halfway up her
calves.
She seemed familiar, and she seemed to stand outside of the flows and currents of the people around them.
Verona switched to her Sight. The world was plunged into darkness and wrapped in cocoons.
[...]
The woman had the same hair and expression, and stood in a similar stance, but she wore a white dress, painted ninety percent red by the blood that flowed from fresh bite wounds at her chin, at her ear, at her
neck, shoulder, breast, and side. Most of one hand was missing, and
blood ran freely down to the ground. The strappy sandals were gone; both of her legs were missing, one mid-calf, one at the knee. Replaced with splintered wooden pegs that dug into raw, gnawed flesh. She swayed
slightly, unbalanced on those feet.
The Winner. The woman Avery had saved.
The woman turned, staggering away at a good clip. Verona turned off her Sight, and the woman was striding, instead.
- excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.6 </ref> After the Choir was defeated, she was covered in tattoos to bind it's power.
On one occasion, she wore a red dress, and sandals with straps that went up her legs.<ref name=":0" />
To the Sight, she is horifically injured, covered in bite-marks with a missing hand and peg legs (although she can walk normally in reality.)<ref name=":0" /> She drips enough blood that her path can be tracked by it.<ref>Sight. When she used it, she was tricked over and over again, seeing red behind film and thinking it was the red dress, but she could see the
blood that dripped off the woman. Sometimes other blood, leaking
through the plastick-y cocoon film, but usually hers, if she was willing
to look down long enough to spot the trail. - excerpt from [on a Limb 3.6|Out on a Limb 3.6]</ref>
Abilities and Art
After completing the Choir ritual, she is able to eat pretty much anything without difficulty; immune to poison, indigestion, disgust, even the need to defecate. She's able to use this in combat to a degree, taking bites out of her foes.
After devouring the Choir, she's investigating ways to channel their power as a Host or Harbinger.
History
Background
Brie suffered from pica from an early age, unconsciously picking up and eating small objects, leading to serious health issues. She sought out the Hungry Choir and joined the contest in hope of a cure to her condition.
Pale
By her seventh night of the Choir ritual, Brie had had both her legs eaten by the Choir. She was dragged to Kennet by the Choir for the ritual and was going to fail at the challenge (eating some of a living bull), but the Kennet Trio intervened and saved her life.
She made contact with another Practitioner, Zed, who was investigating the choir. He equipped her with some tools which allowed her to succeed at her final challenge (eating seven body parts from each of the other contestants.) She recieved the Choir's gift; her body was fully restored (albeit with some spiritual damage) and she was magically empowered to eat anything without consequence.
She worked with Zed to continue investigating the Choir, which brought them into conflict with the Kennet Trio and Kennet Others. Eventually they were both forced to swear not to investigate Kennet and to keep whatever they knew of it a secret. The trio agreed to help them bind the Choir if possible.
Informed by the Trio of the Choir's "core", Yalda they concieved and executed a plan to defeat it: Brie would eat Yalda, who could not fight back without invalidating her gift. With the help of some of the Blue Heron Institute, they were successful. She and Zed also began dating.
Brie had bindings tattooed on her to help contain and channel the Choir, and she decided to Awaken as a Practitioner and join the Institute.
