About

Brighella wasn't always known as Brighella, The Trickster. They were once known as Alias, a very loud child who always seemed to get themself into trouble. When their parent got into debt with the Fatui, Alias was practically sold off to the Fatui by their parents. After a few years of serving in the Fatui, while out on a recon mission, Alias fell into the Abyss. They were fighting for their life for an excruciating year and a half, witnessing unspeakable horrors on a daily basis before finally making it out- only to learn they were supposedly only gone for a week and a half.

That entire experience changed them. They were distant before, sure, but after the Abyss… they were nothing short of heartless. Alias continued working their way up the ranks, eventually being noticed by The Tsaritsa herself. Alias was named “Brighella” and took up the sixth seat of the Harbingers. They now serve her, enacting on her behalf to one day overthrow the Heavenly Principles.

Appearance

Not many know what Brighella looks like- and those who do can't put a name to the face. They have short hair with a tuft on the right side, and a gem on the left- a gift from the Tsaritsa herself. 

They wear an outfit that does not fit the cold climate of Snehznaya. A shoulder pad on their right shoulder keeps their fiery-red cape attached, and on their left shoulder hangs the Fatui mask they've been given as a Harbinger. 

On their belt lies their vision and a satchel, presumably carrying important supplies. Their shorts are made from a flexibly, lightweight material. Along both their knees are two guards, the same material as their shoulder pad. Their boots are lined with wool, but do not be mistaken- they are combat boots, designed to look unassuming.

Design Notes

•  Brighella uses the medium male model. They have short blonde hair, speckled with streaks of white from stress. 
•  On the left side of their head lays a gem, gifted to them from the Tsaritsa. They are never seen without it. 
•  Along one ear is a chained earring that clips above and below their ear, adorned with two blue gemstones at the base.
•  The cape on their right shoulder is tattered from battle. 
•  Their mask is held up with magic, probably. 

Trivia

•  Has constant nightmares of The Abyss, and wakes up with real wounds from the fight. 
•  Has a tendency to injure their knees, so started wearing knee guards to keep it from happening. 
•  Loves shiny objects to a fault- can often be seen eyeing anything that sparkles, no matter how "worthless" it is. 
•  Made their own clothing. 
•  Does not like Mondstadt.
