Team BRIR (pronounced "Briar") is a group of Huntresses in Atlas. The team is composed of Bianca Prisma, Roane Ashwood, Ivy Thickety, and Ruda Tilleroot.[1] They are introduced in RWBY: Arrowfell.

With the destruction of Atlas in “The Final Word”, their current status is unknown.

History[]

They are active in Atlas during Arrowfell, but come from outside the Kingdom. According to Bram Thornmane, they are rogue Huntress mercenaries who only protect towns and fight Grimm in exchange for monetary payment. Elm Ederne also mentions that she couldn't find anything about them in the Special Operatives Unit directory or any registered Huntsmen information on the team.

Secretly, the team is known as the "Keepers of Arrowfell" due to their role watching over the abandoned Atlas Military facility Fort Arrowfell and the technology that it housed left to them by James Ironwood's predecessors. This secret was taken with them to the grave as not even the Atlesian council knew the identities of the Keepers.

The team use an underground network beneath Solitas called the "Crystal Nexus" in order to sneak around throughout the continent and keep the entrance to Fort Arrowfell locked up.

They inadvertently became part of Thornmane's conspiracy against Ironwood when they believed his lie about Team RWBY being the ones who stole the orbs from Fort Arrowfell and try to dispose of them. After being defeated, they realized that they were deceived by Bram Thornmane and help Team RWBY after they reach them in the Crystal Nexus in order to access Fort Arrowfell.

Boss Battle[]

In gameplay, like Team RWBY, they are capable of switching members to fight Team RWBY on one on one battle instead of fighting together.

  • The thorns of briar patches are reflected in the team's clothing, which feature plenty of spikes as accessories on their clothes.
  • The team has matching tattoos and thorn ornaments.[2]
    • Bianca has a tattoo on her right cheek and an ornament on her shoulder plates.
    • Roane has ornaments on her hairbands, armbands, and leg pieces. She also has a tattoo on her upper left leg.
    • Ivy has a tattoo on her right collar and ornaments on her ears, jacket, and belt.
