![]() Her mother died when she was so young that she does not remember her. Historyīrienne was born the eldest daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth, Lord of Evenfall Hall, on the island of Tarth. Her black destrier is barded with the quartered sun-and-moon heraldry of House Tarth. Brienne has a sword, and she wields a blunt morningstar during melees. Brienne's dented steel armor is a brilliant, deep blue cobalt, and she also has mail. Instead of a lady's attire, Brienne wears a velvet doublet quartered rose-and-azure, breeches, boots, and a fine-tooled swordbelt. Despite-or perhaps because of-the fact that she has no expectation of ever being recognized by society for her accomplishments, she nevertheless strives to live up to the ideal of a true knight at all times. Although she has received poor treatment from most knights, Brienne clings to a naively idealized concept of knighthood. īrienne can be headstrong and judgmental, but she is also honest, straightforward, loyal and determined. While Lady Maege and Dacey Mormont have found respect and acceptance as female warriors, Brienne yearns for respect and acceptance from others, and easily gives her love and loyalty to the few people who treat her with any degree of genuine courtesy. ![]() ![]() Perhaps because of this background, Brienne is as awkward in personality as she is in appearance. When she tried to dress and act like a proper lady, she was met with mockery and disdain for her unattractive appearance and lack of feminine social graces when she turned to a career more suited to her talents as a warrior, she received only contempt and resentment for her gender despite her considerable skill. īrienne has spent most of her life as the object of scorn, rejection and-at best-pity. Shorter than Hodor and the Greatjon, maybe a bit shorter than the Hound, maybe roughly the same height as Robert. Just off the top of my head, I would say Brienne is taller than Renly and Jaime and significantly heavier than either, but nowhere near the size of Gregor Clegane, who is the true giant in the series. ![]() Brienne is well over six feet tall, but not close to seven, no. ![]()
