Only surviving child of Lord Selwyn the Evenstar, last of his line at Evenfall on the sapphire isle of Tarth. Tall as a tall man and twice as broad, mocked from childhood as Brienne the Beauty for her plainness, she took up sword in defiance of her station and won her place in King Renly Baratheon's Rainbow Guard by standing last in the great melee at Bitterbridge. When Renly fell to a shadow she rode north sworn to Catelyn Tully and took a second vow at Catelyn's hands to return her lost daughters whole; she has kept that one across every road of the war since, for as long as her sword arm will hold.
