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.
