Branwen is the Queen of Night and roleplayed by Doctortear. She is an albino Black with a light red hue covering her body. She is one of the main protaginists in Dying Dynasties and a NPC in the prelude, Comminatory Desolation .
Personality[]
Branwen is an oddity. She always seems cheerful, but in a cold way. She will call strangers "doll" or "deary". She can go dark and icy in an instant, but suddenly turn back into a jolly dragon a moment later. Branwen is known for torturing anyone who crosses the line. If she is near someone she knows well, Branwen can be loud and ever childish at times. Most of the time, she uses a smile to cover up what she is really thinking. She can, but does not like to, sing extremely well.
History[]
Branwen didn't have the best of childhoods. Her parents saw nothing special in her and shows little love and compassion towards her. She was always being stared at by everyone around her due to her white scales. Although she never was cared for by her parents, Branwen was not alone. Her younger siblings, Nazar Zeki and Saturn Zeki , cared for her deeply. Nazar constantly followed Branwen and craved for her attention. Branwen excelled in her studies and was considered to be the top of her class. Saturn, her sister, claimed that Branwen had a talent for singing to which Branwen denied. One day, during a trip to the Kingdom of Seas , Branwen got caught in a current and almost drowned. After being rescued by her brother, Branwen had to be given emergency care. This incident is what caused her fear of salt water. Sometime between her being a mature hatchling and being a juvenile, Branwen's parents were killed by Nazar whom was seeking the love and attention from his dear sister. During her adulthood, Branwen played a prank on her legal cousin, Titanium Mulaca , in which he swallowed Belladonna berries; causing him to die, Agatha to rush to his aid, see Branwen, blame her for his death, and effciently start the War of Lies.
During the War of Lies[]
Branwen was in her throne room when Vale was brought to her by Baston and a few other guards. Vale explained who he was and gave Branwen a map of the eastern kingdoms' hideouts. She accepted Vale into Night and dismissed Baston and the other guards. After doing paperwork, Branwen explored a tunnel that lead to an underground lake. There, she was attacked by an Ice to whom she had to fight. She was aided by Baston who chased the Ice away. Later, it was discovered that citizens of Night had finished off the Ice once they had learned it had attacked the queen. Branwen was the judge for the trial for Soren in which she deemed Ferdinand , the one who accused Soren of murder, to be a traitor and sentenced himself to death with the stance of treason. Branwen gifted Soren with a passport to travel to any kingdom he wanted without having to fill out any papers. After Soren left, Vale informed Branwen that her brother was travling to the Kingdom of Beauty . Branwen reacted negativly and cautiously to this news and quickly dismissed Vale from her throne room. Branwen spoke to Poisonstar and sent him on a mission to lead a group from the Kingdom of Lava away from Night with a fake Kingdom of Skies patrol.
Branwen, while looking over some spy reports, heard obnoxious giggling outside of her throne room. She tried to ignore it, but it only got louder and louder. She ordered whoever was outside to come into the throne to which Baston and an attractive Pink came into the throne room. Baston introduced the Pink as Shimmer Bauer and asked for her to leave. With a few harsh words, Branwen made it clear that Shimmer was not to come anywhere near the palace. Still fuming, Baston quietly agreed and made his way out of the throne room. Branwen interacted with Shimmer once again when she was at a meeting with her concil. A Thunder by the name of Mafia decided that Shimmer had no right to be in the palace and confronted both her and Baston. Things turned for the worse when Baston attacked and killed Mafia, leaving Branwen to strip him of his rank of High General and to lock him up in prision. She, along with Kraken, visited Mafia's family in which his mate tried to attack Branwen. The queen explained what had happened, confessed her concerns, and left the family.
Branwen was next seen having a meeting with Poisonstar, Ember , and the other Nebulas who were on the fake patrol. She and Bloodvein spoke with Poisonstar and Ember to see how the patrol went. After the metting, Branwen, accompanied by Bloodvein , went to find a new High General. The following day, Branwen brought Kraken to her chambers in which she promoted him to High General. Afterwards, Bloodvein brought Tanith to Branwen. Branwen proceeded to show Tanith around the kingdom in an effort to bring back nostalgia of her childhood. After letting Tanith sleep in her room, Branwen was visted by an Electric messenger, sent by Stormwing Cortonica , who told her to not let Acharnos Cortonica and Trebos Veruvis have asluym. Branwen responded by having the messenger tortured for more information. Once Ach and Trebos arrived, Branwen welcomed them with open arms and warned them about Stormwing's threat. As Ach and Trebos settled down, Branwen sent her new High General, Kraken, to investigate Stormwing.
After a while, Merlin, Cyeril and Poisonstar came to Branwen's throne one. Poisonstar pleaded to Branwen that Shimmer needed to be taken cared of. When Branwen told him that Shimmer would have to be killed if she became trouble, Poisonstar disagreed. Branwen stated clearly that Mafia was not the first of Shimmer's victims and that she had killed many others before. Reluctently, Poisonstar vowed to spread the queen's word and left the throne room. Merlin let Cyeril enter the throne room where he gave her the offer of becoming a mercenary with the secret intent of killing her with belladonna berries. Branwen told Cyeril that if he brought back Shimmer, dead or alive, that she might consider hiring him. Afterwards, Ach returned to Branwen's throne room to play a game of chess with her. Not to long after Ach arrived, Cylen stumbled into the throne room in which Branwen ordered the two Ices who beat her to be punished. Once Cylen was healed, she was removed from the throne room where Branwen and Bloodvein conversed for some time. Branwen recieved a message from Cyeril and demanded that Bloodvein and multiple healers make their way to the battle between Cyeril, Trebos, and Shimmer as soon as possible. Yet another messenger from Stormwing came to Branwen to tell her that Stormwing enjoyed the fight with Kraken. Branwen responded with a cold voice and demanded to know what happened to her High General. Once the terrifed messenger told her of Kraken's demise, Branwen's mood turned jolly as she handed him a picture drawn by Kraken's two year old son, Harth . Both Ach and the messenger left, leaving Branwen all alone in her throne room.
