HISTORY

A young goddess, Branwen is a radiant and captivating figure, with a presence that embodies loveliness and grace. Her eyes sparkle with a mesmerizing light, as if they hold the secrets of the stars and the magic of the moon. She is elegant and refined, with hair that cascades over her shoulders and down her back like a river of night-dark silk.

Branwen can most often be found in the palace garden, a luxurious place where her passing beauty blooms every flower, and charm drips from every petal. The air is sweet with the scent of roses and the sound of gentle laughter echoes through the paths. All who enter are bewitched by her loveliness and beguiled by her charm, where she bestows her blessings upon all who seek to behold and embody the splendor of the divine.

Like all the younger gods of Avalorr, Branwen is fascinated by the mortal world and longs to experience its wonders. But as the daughter of the Queen, such desires are beyond her.

POWERS/ABILITIES

Branwen possesses the normal physical attributes of a goddess of Avalorr, but her beauty among that race, a race already known for their physical perfection, is unmatched.

As the goddess of beauty and love, Branwen possesses the ability to project images or illusions of herself and to control the emotions of others, shield herself from mortal sight, and to shift her physical form into those for whom an individual feels great love. She is able to sense emotions, and possesses a natural empathic link to any living being in creation. She can use her voice in a fashion similar to a siren song, and lure others to her or to their doom if she would so choose. Her voice is also empowered with advanced (and often subconscious) mind-control abilities related to her mood: when she speaks joyfully, she fills her listeners with bliss and fanatical love for her. When she cries in sadness, her listeners drown in despair as well.
