Brunhille Valrin

Great Taurus, Grandmaster Brunhille Valrin (a.k.a. Impenetrable Brunhille)

I'm not going to lie, I'm going to beat the living shit out of each and every one of you. By the time I'm done, you'll be able to prevent me from doing as much as leaving a scratch on you, and by extension, you may even be able to shield those around you.
To understand how to ward, you have to know the pain you want to stop. It gives you motivation.
— Brunhille speaking to her new students


One of the greatest spectacles in the Circle, Brunhille is known for her ridiculous displays of Warding, standing in the center of a ring and instructing entire classes of pyromancers to unleash their abilities on her while she wards away the damage. Other displays have included Zhiaohu Li throwing his most powerful strikes against her wards, and instructing students to swing her sword as hard as they can at her.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Brunhille will not talk about her past, except that she "escaped a worse life." It is implied that many of her scars weren't from her warding training, but nothing is confirmed.
Brunhille took up the Sword and learned Warding at some point in her youth, and used those skills to act as a guard for Archaeologists and trade caravans. As she began to build a reputation for her services, she decided to vanish into Goldshimmer Forest, claiming she didn't want her past to come find her.

It was there she discovered the Circle of Magic, and decided to join due to its secluded location and school of Warding. She spent a decade as a student of Warding and Swordsmanship, ascending to Master in Warding and passionately displaying her skills to her peers.

When the previous Grandmaster of Warding stepped down from his position due to old age, Brunhille would be chosen to become the new Great Taurus.

Possible childhood abuse, but she will not talk about her life outside the Circle.
