As Acantha, Briar gained [[Vampire|vampiric]] abilities, including transforming into a bat at will, an ability which the recomposited Briar retained after she merged with Acantha. She created the [[Shadow Pathway]]s, which could be used for teleporting, both across universes or on a small scale. Acantha also had the knowledge necessary to engineer a time loop as she fell out of reality towards the [[Oblivion]].

== Biography == | |||
=== Early life === | |||
Briar was born in an isolated village in the middle of a forest. She knew nothing of any reasonably advanced technology, let alone the existence of the [[Multiverse]]. She met [[Century Smith]] during an incident when she was bitten by an [[Invisible Vampyre]] and [[Sanguivor]]. Her superstitious fellow villagers mobbed her, but she and Smith ended up running away aboard [[Century Smith's Void Ship|Smith's Void Ship]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'') | |||
=== Struggling with vampirism === | |||
As her transformation into a vampire began, Briar's body began to become invisible, piece by piece, beginning with the area of her forearm around the wound where she'd been bitten. Trying to ignore her condition's immediate effect, she took to wearing long gloves as she and Smith travelled to find some cure. They stopped off at the [[Adromedi Jungle Observation Tower]] so that Smith could do some repairs to his ship. They then met [[Jenny Nowhere#Betraying Century Smith|a friend of Smith's]] who was a dimensional scientist at the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], and, after a stop at the [[Interdimensional Bank]] so that the scientist could retrieve her “library card” from her vault, to the [[Interdimensional Library]], where they discovered a potential cure: a prick from the fang of someone who'd already been bitten and cured of vampirism. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'') | |||
=== Becoming Acantha === | |||
In one possible timeline, Briar, unable to find such a fang, succumbed to vampirism, her mind itself becoming twisted and evil. She destroyed [[Century Smith's Void Ship]] bare-handed in her beastly rage, before learning to control her powers so well that she devised an entirely new means of transportation both for herself and any new [[vampire]]s she created, the [[Shadow Pathway]]s. Newly equipped with these innate dimension-travelling powers, Acantha returned to her home village and conquered it. She took to wearing intricate, aristocratic black garments adorned with the red letter “alpha” to match her new name, borrowed from a [[Ἀκάνθα|controversial figure in Greek mythography]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'') | |||
=== Timelines at war === | |||
However, in another possible timeline, which threatened to overtake Acantha's, Briar managed to cure herself using her own fang from the future, a paradox made possible by the disturbances in the synchronicity of Time in [[the Void]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'') due to the disappearance of [[Lord Thymon]].
