Biography

Legends

Dragonslayer

Brook was said to already be at the Wingwatcher welcome ceremony when Ivy and her friends arrived. Brook was said to be one of the few Wingwatchers to stay on for longer than her twenties, and that she was in her forties, and won every strength competition the village ever had, and "loved recruiting new Wingwatchers more than anything else in the world". She then welcomed Ivy, Daffodil, and Violet, calling them her babies, and that they were her favorite recruits. She asked Ivy if there was any word from Stone. When Ivy shook her head, Brook said that he'd never quite recovered from what happened in the desert. Later, Foxglove said that Brook had wanted Ivy as a Wingwatcher as soon as she'd seen Ivy's first drawing in her portfolio. Foxglove later also said that Brook had lost a lot of people when the village burned, resulting in Ivy realizing that Brook was old enough to have known Heath before he was the Dragonslayer. Brook was one of the Wingwatchers attested by Heath's soldiers for plotting against him. At the end of the book, she becomes the new lord of Valor after Ivy exposes Heath.
