Briar was a fairly ordinary human girl. At 19, she looked quite young. As [[Acantha]], she still looked much the same, only paler and with a pair of thin [[vampire]] fangs. She took to wearing a complicated, black aristocratic outfit emblasoned with a red lowercase [[wikipedia:Greek letter alpha|Alpha]] over a smaller black cloak. After Acantha and the human Briar merged into one being, Briar retained the aristocratic garments but removed the 'alpha', since she rejected the name “Acantha”.

Shortly after she began travelling with [[Century Smith]], Briar remained quite overwhelmed by the revelations he made to her about the nature of reality, and the sheer spectacle of aliens, strange interdimensional locales, and so on. However, she was courageous and resourceful despite her near-constant state of shock. She was deeply kind, always looking for a solution to an issue that would work out for everyone, sometimes at the expense of taking easy ways out that involved needlessly harming enemies. As Acantha, on the other hand, she had become embittered and selfish, jealous of her other self to the point of wishing her destruction for the sheer satisfaction of now being the ''only'' real version of Briar, neglecting options that would keep both of them alive.

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]].

In December 2021, [[Prime Universe]] time, while trying to enjoy a vacation, Briar and [[Century Smith|Smith]] became embroiled in the conflict between multiple species and factions of cyborgs competing for the right to be dubbed [[Supreme Cyborg]] by [[Cybele#In the Prime Universe|Cybele]]. They ran into them at the [[Multiversal Waffle House]], the [[Interdimensional Gift Shop]] and even the “[[Gnome Place]]”, which they only visited by accident in the first place. Realising the cyborgs were a threat wherever they went, they tried to beat one group of them to their apparent destination, [[the Frost King's Realm]]. Arriving before the cyborgs' ship landed, they borrowed a [[striberu]]-pulled sleigh and headed for the village. On the way, they met [[CS-NA]], whom Smith recognised as a [[Subcinctus|Subcinctan]] robot, the first human CS-NA had ever encountered who understood his [[Subcinctan Audial Code]]. | In December 2021, [[Prime Universe]] time, while trying to enjoy a vacation, Briar and [[Century Smith|Smith]] became embroiled in the conflict between multiple species and factions of cyborgs competing for the right to be dubbed [[Supreme Cyborg]] by [[Cybele#In the Prime Universe|Cybele]].

Arriving in the village, they witnessed the arrival of the [[Mecharon]]s; showing himself to make a stand, Smith was shot by one of their energy weapons, although it proved ill-adapted to human biology, only knocking him back and making him taste gingerbread. Scrambling to hide, Smith and Briar tried to evade capture by the Mecharon squad but were eventually caught, with the Mecharon commander ordering them converted into Mecharons themselves. However, CS-NA managed to force all the Mecharons to go into hibernation mode and retreat to their ships by hacking into their own comms frequencies, saving the two humans. Smith ruled that now that the village was saved and the Mecharons they'd been chasing were defeated, he and Briar could move on with their holiday fun; he offered CS-NA the chance to join them, but CS-NA, being on a wider mission of his own, declined.

The two met up with [[Lord Nachtos]] once again, and told him about the Mecharons, much to his amusement. However, even as they received an invitation from CS-NA to join him in the [[Cupid Homeworld]] for the Christmas party he had organised, they found that Smith's earlier optimism had been misplaced, as they ended up having to fight [[Detraxxi]] in the skies of [[Tetrayon-Twelve]]. Smith and Briar instead sent Nachtos to the Homeworld with their recommendation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
