Dubhaine Family/Brigdha

Description

A bookish child, Brigdha has grown into a woman of moderate height and slender build with the Dubhaine family's trademark sable hair and pallid good looks. The appearance of a sombre demeanour is accentuated by the saturnine cast of her wardrobe and it therefore often comes as a surprise to those who join her circle of intimates to find that she has an earthy sense of mischief and a quick smile that dispels the blackest moods, facts well known to the men and women under her command.

Brigdha Dubhaine started out as a serious young knight aspiring to a career of martial prowess, however on moving to Fontan she discovered a natural talent for trade and business which for many years came to dominate her life. Following the disappearance of her half-sister Moira she retired from public life, splitting her time between managing the family's many business interests and gathering any scrap of news as to the former Supreme Justice's fate and whereabouts.

With the latest brutal assaults on Fontan - not least the capture of Negev by Sirion - she feels compelled to once more defend the family's adoptive home.

Brigdha is the half-sister of Aoifa and Moira.

Personal Journal

Courtly Manners

The sumptuous celebrations surrounding the official inauguration of Lord Tsubasa Kurosaki as Duke of Nida during the peaceful days prior to the war with Falasan.

Perilous News

Receiving the news of the death of her former tutor Carl Heinman, Brigdha has much to consider. Within a day she took ship for the East Continent to join her sister Moira in avenging his death.

The Helpful Secretary

With Moira installed as Supreme Justice of Fontan, Brigdha managed much of her correspondence on her behalf. Soon after she launched her merchant venture.

A Foray into Politics

During the family's absence from active politics Fontan's judiciary adopted a policy of executing enemy infiltrators. Seeing this as both ignoble and ultimately self-defeating Lady Brigdha decides to air her views on the matter in a public letter.
