    Cookie What the smurf is Brahne?



    In a wold that has aadvark people, rat people, genome-monkey people, hippo people, a man who's not a fish but a FISH MAN, and whatever the smurf Cinna is, JUST WHAT THE smurf IS BRAHNE?

    Why is she blue? Why does she dress like the love child of a clown and a prostitute? How did she give birth to such a beautiful daughter (I mean, the original Garnet was her twin basically, so)?

    Alternatively, how do you say her name? I used to say "bran" until I realized it's probably "brawn" because she's brawny. ]

    Any thoughts on Brahne?

    I really have no idea! There are some really ugly "people" in this game :P

    Maybe her parents are a shoopuf and a hypello!

    Perhaps with the dressing she's trying to be pretty. It's not working D:

    As for Garnet (SPOILER)she's not her biological mother - her real mother is called Jane and is seen escaping from Madain Sari on the boat at the beginning of the game

    I always pronounced it "BrAHne" but that doesn't mean much as I also thought it was TIEdus not TEEdus, CHOCobo not CHOcobo, AYEris instead of AIRris, Celes as is "Sells" not "Celeste" etc.

    She is Quina's mother/father. :3 It is the only explanation for everything.

    Ohhhh right, the original Garnet. I forgot she was a replacement for basically looking "identical". Maybe the shoopello people have really bad eyesight!
    Or maybe she was originally beautiful but had an affair with Cid, and Hilda made her look like that.

    I love her. I think she's an excellent character, plus she's got one killer theme.

    Br-AR-n. Br-AH-n is fine, though.

    If I remember it right, Brahne used to be beautiful but was corrupted by her greed and anger.

    Queen Brahne is epicness reincarnated. She is living (or dead, depending how far you are in the game) proof that you can look both ugly and awesome at the same time. She is a beacon of light in a land of darkness, seeing how merely one glimpse of her can put a smile on a person's face (granted it's from how funny she looks, but a smile is a smile).

    And according to Rantzien, she's somehow related to the Chestire cat...

    As for how I pronounce it, it's "brawn" to me.

    I say it Bra-nn. I guess brawn, but whatever.

    I have no idea, great question. Perhaps it's all makeup or something, like the suntan lady thinks she's pretty but everyone hates her.

    I pronounce her name like the paper towel and I thought it was clear what she is. Kuja tells us.

    The corruption is literal in her case (greed, anger so forth)
    and how DID she have a kid?

    Very carefully.

    I say "BrAHne" as well. Did realize there was disagreement over the pronunciation, lol.

    And obviously, she's the target of the Tantalus' kidnapping scheme.

    according to finalfantasywikia, yes it's supposed to be Brah-ne. That's how I always pronounced it. also linking here from the poster thread I noticed the url doesn't change itself to smurf.
