Quotation1 If I'm gonna sleep for a hundred years, I've got to live it up now! Quotation2
Briar Beauty in "Legacy Day"


Briar Beauty is the next Sleeping Beauty and she is a student at Ever After High. In the destiny conflict, she is on the Royal side because she respects her destiny, although; her fear of sleeping for a hundred years (yet she remains a Royal).

Like most Royals, Briar also has few doubts with her story. She is afraid to fall asleep for hundreds of years, since it will have a negative impact on her as well. As she is going to miss all the fun and parties, and also her friends. Briar is serious about this, as she can't imagine herself sleeping while others are celebrating in joy and harmony. Faybelle Thorn, the daughter of the Dark Fairy, is destined to put Briar into a long-century sleep yet; she considers her as her "best frenemy forever after" and enjoys her company.

Portrayers[]

In English, Briar is voiced by Kate Higgins.

Character[]

Personality[]

Briar is a kind and loving girl, and a hyperactive girl who loves adventure, despite the fact that she can fall asleep everywhere and anywhere at any given time, which is strongly due to a curse that her mother Sleeping Beauty had, which Briar inherited genetically.[1] Briar is kind, sensitive about her destiny, and a loving friend. She is fierce and loyal, and also is best friends with Apple White and Blondie Lockes, according to her website profile and the doll profile on the back of the doll box, although her roommate Ashlynn Ella is a close friend of hers.

She is friends with Raven Queen and Madeline Hatter,[2] Briar is scared for her "destiny" and claims she is not just a party girl, in her words: "Is that how you see me? Just, a party girl?" and then explains how she doesn't want to lose her friends. She most likely will lose her friends if she sleeps for a hundred years because, in a hundred years, her friends will all be long dead. She is sensitive, generous, and friendly. Briar loves adventures and journeys but wants to have her life without sleeping for a hundred years. She can be sad when the fact that if she signs the Storybook of Legends, she'll sleep for one hundred years is brought up, but in "Way Too Wonderland", this is solved when Raven signs and turns evil, but Apple brings her back, saving her, and Raven uses her newfound powers to put the pages of the book inside everyone and they don't need to sign the storybook to decide what they want, that they can be Royal or Rebel without signing the book. Briar is grateful to Raven for this and wants to live every day of her life awake. She is generally a good person with a good heart and loves Blondie's MirrorCast show. She enjoys gossip and fashion. In "Thronecoming", she threw the Storybook of Legends down the well so she wouldn't have to sleep for a hundred years.[3] Briar, as not wanting to fall asleep for a hundred years, generally feared the Storybook of Legends. She doesn't have to worry about the book anymore, as the pages of the storybook have been destroyed.

Her "Magic Touch" is having super hearing (she can hear things from miles away) however this only happens when she is asleep.
