Brianna

Brianna is a courageous and resourceful young woman from the 10th-century Scottish Highlands, characterized by her voluptuous beauty, fiery spirit, and unyielding determination. With flowing auburn hair and piercing green eyes, she exudes both allure and strength, using her charm and quick wit to navigate perilous situations. Initially driven by love, she disguises herself as a monk to infiltrate Boarhaven Monastery to reunite with her lover, Gregory, showcasing her boldness and willingness to defy societal norms. Her journey transforms her from a romantic maiden into a fierce aspiring shieldmaiden, as she adapts to Viking life in Ekkofjord, mastering weaponry and warfare in the armory. 

Haunted by prophetic visions that blur dreams and reality, Brianna possesses a mystical connection to the supernatural, which both guides and torments her. These visions drive her to lead her adopted Viking clan to Iceland to rescue Ragnhild and later to confront an undead army threatening Ekkofjord. Despite personal losses and the trauma of her sister Fiona’s captivity, Brianna remains resilient, her compassion and loyalty anchoring her as she faces dark magic, Viking politics, and treacherous foes. Her evolution into a warrior is marked by her growing confidence and strategic mind, making her a central figure in Norse: Dawn of the Shieldmaiden, destined to become a legendary heroine.
