Cattie-brie: Forgotten Realms Character Analysis

Race: Human

Sex: Female

Faction: Companions of the Hall

Rating: 7.1

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Catti-brie is one of the most enduring and dynamic characters in the Forgotten Realms mythos. Known first as the heart of the Companions of the Hall and later as the Chosen of Mielikki, her legacy spans both life and death, across incarnations, gods, and the Weave itself. Introduced in R.A. Salvatore’s seminal Icewind Dale Trilogy, Catti-brie emerges as a moral compass, emotional stabilizer, and, eventually, a force of devastating arcane and divine power. Her story is inseparable from the saga of Drizzt Do’Urden, and together, their arcs echo the central tensions of the Forgotten Realms: race and redemption, death and rebirth, violence and grace.

Brienne of Tarth: A Song of Ice and Fire Character Analysis

Race: Stormlander

Sex: Female

Faction: House Baratheon / House Stark

Rating: 6.4

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Brienne Tarth, heir of Evenfall Hall and the only living child of Lord Selwyn Tarth, stands as one of the most distinctive and tragic figures in the narrative web of A Song of Ice and Fire. Mocked across Westeros as "Brienne the Beauty," she is neither courtly nor conventionally feminine, but hers is a tale woven with iron sincerity, uncompromising moral clarity, and an evolving concept of what it means to be a knight in a realm where oaths are bartered like coin. Her story spans five novels, from A Clash of Kings through A Dance with Dragons, and intersects deeply with figures such as Renly Baratheon, Catelyn Stark, Jaime Lannister, and even the undead Lady Stoneheart. She is featured in Game of Thrones, portrayed by Gwendoline Christie, though with key divergences from her literary arc.

Sammael: Wheel of Time Character Analysis

Race: Forsaken

Sex: Male

Faction: Shadow

Rating: 6.9

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Arena Status: Active (S2)

Before the name Sammael struck fear across nations, he was known as Tel Janin Aellinsar—a legend of the Age of Legends. Tel Janin’s early life was marked by brilliance in both athleticism and strategy. A world champion in the sword sport sho-zar, and a master archer besides, he was physically compact but extraordinarily capable. His build was dense, powerful, reflecting a mind equally formidable in battle. Known for his lack of humor and his tightly coiled energy, Tel Janin was never the charismatic leader his peer Lews Therin Telamon was. But he was among the most gifted military tacticians of his age, and perhaps the best the Light had—until that brilliance soured into resentment.
