Briar Rose

Fable Wiki – Your guide to everything Fable.

Briar Rose is a very powerful, intelligent and arrogant female Hero. She is from a noble background, but her family fell into hard times when she was a child. Her mother died in an accident Briar could not have prevented, and her father cast her out for not doing anything to stop her mother's death. She was left alone and had to fend for herself, but eventually she joined the Heroes' Guild. She found in books the companionship she always longed for as a child. She is more of a scholar than a fighter, and relies more on intelligence and Skill rather than physical strength. She viciously mocks the Hero of Oakvale early in his quest, but her demeanor has changed completely when they next meet during a quest in Darkwood, and she speaks to him as an equal. Many speculate that this is because she has heard of his various feats as a Hero, including defeating Twinblade, and becoming a champion of the Witchwood Arena. She plays a vital support role near the end of the Hero's quest, and treats him with great respect. She originally went on quests that led her far beyond Albion in search of knowledge, but now stays in Albion because of the Hero of Oakvale.

Her constant fame, and fans following her wherever she goes, annoys her very much. However, she still continues to boast and show off trophies from her completed quests. When the Hero of Oakvale is first starting out, she insults him about not being very good. She makes herself seem much more skilled than the hero and tells him that it will take him a long time to reach her skill level. This shows off her immense arrogance towards anyone that she considers lower than herself.
