Your Character
Briar is your character’s best friend, and is shown to care very deeply about you. Because of this great bond, Briar volunteers to be your Lady’s Maid so that you can spend even more time together. Briar encourages you to come outside of your shell, and is your closest confidant. When you two were children, everything was a competition. According to Briar, she is still one ahead after the mule racing incident of 1810. This can change depending if you win Harvest Queen in Grovershire.

Edmund Marlcaster
Briar and Mr. Marlcaster have a very flirty relationship, and from the way that Mr. Marclaster glances longingly at her whenever he sees her, it is obvious he has a crush. Miss Daly claims to have seen a nicer side of him and really believes he is a good person, even going as far as defending his actions when he left Your Character in London, saying that he regrets doing it and that it was all his mother’s fault. However, she constantly says that her relationship with him can never become a reality and that she believes that he doesn’t care about her that much.

Arthur Woods
Briar and Mr. Woods have a flirty relationship as well, and it is obvious from the way Mr. Woods gets flustered around Miss Daly that he has a slight crush on her. However, Briar may not feel the same way, because whenever she is asked about how she feels about him, she never gives a direct answer, instead changing the subject or saying that doesn’t really know how she feels about him. She does care about him, but she also cares about Mr. Marlcaster, so it is hard for her to make her choice on who she loves more.

Pavarti Daly
Pavarti is her mother. Although Briar speaks of her parents and mainly her mother, Pavarti does not appear until Book 2.
