Her father returned to Adsilia before she was born and her mother committed suicide a few weeks after Bran's birth. After her mother's death, Brannwyn was entrusted to her aunt, Blodwed Nerys, a Gormese warrior. Blodwed decided that it would be best if Brannwyn was trained as a warrior as well. Brannwyn was trained as a warrior under the watchful eye of her aunt until the Gormese Occurrence in 1851. Before this, Brannwyn worked hard to become the best she could be, which according to her aunt, was never good enough. Brannwyn was very close to all her fellow warriors, seeing them all as a family. She was in a romantic relationship with Tearlach, a fellow warrior, until his untimely death during the occurrence. During the Occurrence, Brannwyn was impaled through the abdomen, barely missing major organs. She was taken to the mainland and treated for her injuries.
