Brunnya (Japanese:ブルーニャBrunnya) was one of theWyvern Generals ofBern at the time of theDisturbance of Bern. Unwavering in her loyalty and devotion to KingZephiel, she led the invasion of Sacae at the Disturbance's onslaught. At the war's climax, she was tasked by Zephiel with the protection ofIdunn, to ensure the entire war did not go to waste.

Biography

Early in the war after conquering Sacae, working withNarcian, Brunnya led an assault on CastleAraphen, where the leaders of theLycian League were conferring on the matter of going to war with Bern. They decimated the League's army and defeated and severely wounded LordHector ofOstia, the League's leader. Shortly after, Zephiel himself arrived and requested that Brunnya bring Hector before him. After finishing with Hector, Brunnya informed Zephiel that she was to return to Sacae, but first voiced the concerns of the army by inquiring about Zephiel's work with a sinister figure like Idunn; Zephiel deflected her question by informing her that one of her level of faith in and devotion to him should not question his wisdom and should simply follow orders, to which she complied.

Later, atTaras, Brunnya received news of the fall of Bern-controlledAquileia and the death of Narcian.Roartz andArcardo had fled to the Bern-occupied territory, and attempted to seek refuge with Bern; Brunnya reassured the two that as allies of Bern they would not be abandoned, tasked them with the defense ofBulgar and Taras respectively, and reminded them that the two had it incredibly easy compared to the trials conquered byRoy. Once she had left, she mentioned to one of her soldiers that she was not at all impressed with their cowardice and betrayal oftheir country.

As the Etrurian army headed by Royapproached Bern Keep, Zephiel entrusted Idunn to Brunnya in order to ensure that the purpose of the war could still be carried out. Brunnya traveled to theDragon Sanctuary and in turn entrusted Idunn toJahn, while she and the remnants of the Bern army prepared to defend the Sanctuary from the inevitable pursuit by Roy's forces, well aware that the odds were against them and that the fight would be futile.When Roy did come, Brunnya informed her forces that because of the futility, any of them could leave now with no consequences; almost no-one left, and the army expressed its solidarity with Brunnya and Bern. In spite of her determination, she died for her homeland in the battle, much as she expected.

Analysis

Brunnya is an interesting unit inTrial Maps. She has very balanced stats all around. Her weapon levels are also really good. An A rank in anima allows her to use theBolting andFimbulvetr in her inventory. She also boasts an amazing A ranks in staves, which allows her to use theFortify staff in her inventory as well as every other staff except theStaff of the Saint.

Overall, Brunnya is a very good Trial Map character. She is also not very demanding to get, only requiring the game to be completed four times, which can be tedious, but is not as bad as ones after her.

Brunnya: Devoted General
Bern is the strongest military power in Elibe—and Brunnya is one of the most powerful spellcasters in Bern! Did I mention that she's also beautiful, hardworking, and kind to boot?	Brunnya swore her absolute loyalty to Zephiel, the King of Bern. And of course, Zephiel trusts her the most out of all his vassals.	Her feats in battle were so outstanding that she rose to the top flight of the Bern military: the Wyvern Generals. With crashing lightning bolts and shearing winds at her command, Roy and friends were in for a tough time…	She'd definitely be a terrifying foe to face in battle, but I bet that if we got her on our side, we'd find few partners more reliable than her. Show us what you can do, Brunnya!
