"I'm one step closer to my heart."

Commonly, Pooka's natural behaviour is being an eternal child and a practical joker. Because of that, people see Brietta as innocent and playful
Not only that, she possess calm, amiable, humble, and patient traits as well. Due to the fact that a Pooka can be a wise faery, when needed, Brietta can be wise and give wisdoms to others. At certain occasions, especially the embarrassing ones, she becomes a little clumsy and somehow bashful. Though she might look like a courteous maiden, don't make her mad. She might go berserk if you do.

"One step closer to you."

"You are shining sadly."

After the hardships she must bear as her journey to her truest self, Brietta Deoch Elsha is now a true trickster. Like how a Pooka supposed to be, she's playful, mischievous, curious, and cunning―all in courteous manner, of course. As playful as she is, she still knows her boundaries of creating havoc, sometimes. Need not to worry, she won't destroy the world nor take lifes for her sheer fun. She won't bring too much harm to the source of her fun, anyway. How would she have fun if she did just that?

Self-serving, her actions are mostly done for her own benefit. This happened due to her belief that she only has herself to depend on, instead of pure egoistic or arrogant manner. Nevertheless, depends on the person, she can be helpful, yet menacing. With her highly intuitive mind, she relies on her intelligence and whim to determine which side should she show, like how any trickster would. No matter what, she openly questions, disrupts or mocks authority and norms in life. Her constant questioning molds her into a wise faery. Her wisdom shall be shared in her own cunning way as the exceptional price, so don't expect much from her.

Since she embraced her shadow completely, rage outbursts from her are put to the minimum. Instead of going berserk, she'll become way more playful, which might turn her games into way too dangerous. This, of course, doesn't make her immune to emotional bursts. If anything, this faery has her fragile side which she (mostly) successfully hide with her playfulness. Only with the right trigger, can the Pooka prove that she too, can be sentimental.

Her detrimental values as a Pooka can be put to rest once she's with someone she respects. How to earn her respect? Play with her games until she grows tired and surrenders to you. Don't worry, her games mostly consist of having a ride to the mountains, or controversial conversations―nothing too dangerous. Tolerate her duality, then you shall earn her relentless respect and even loyalty.

Without any more hope towards the twisted world, Brietta is an optimistic nihilistic. Without the purpose from the world, she shall create her own; having fun with all her might, as freely as she should be. Life is a waste if not for having fun, right?

What's the point of NOT doing things if it won't matter in the end?

In her human form, she’s seen as a beauteous ravenette, with a slender figure, large hazel eyes, and long flowing black hair. Usually, her hair has two strands of hair extended from the top of her brow, resembling the antenna of a butterfly. Usually, she’d be seen with her hair swaying behind her back. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean that she can’t use other hairstyle, such as ponytail and braids.

After she unlocked her further potential as a Pooka, she's frequently seen letting her shapeshifting powers manifest within her as the form of gigantic butterfly wings upon her back. Her attire resembles that of a butterfly and has been dressed in ballet shoes. The overall look is black and while other parts have red or purple.

When her wings are not present, her fashion is pretty much normal and casual, with black as its main color.

In her original form, the most prominent feature of hers is her jet black coat. Standing in nobility, her wavy, thick, long, silky mane often became the breeze’s toy to play with. On all of the lower part of her four legs, wavy, feather-long silky hair become gallant embellishment. The Baroque body type of hers would enchant anybody who laid her eyes on the majestic equine, herself.

"Hello shooting star, will you hear my wish?"

Her story started when she was born to the faery world,「 Phantasia 」,in November 1st. As the only child of her parents, she was spoiled and loved during her childhood. The innocent Pooka enjoyed her life to the utmost, galloping around the ethereal world. Little did she know, that her curiosity of Phantasia could lead her to a place which would change her life, forever.

"Dear Moon, listen to my kept secrets."

One fine day had she spent by galloping throughout the Phantasia meadows. Her legs halted as her eyes noticed a sight of a peculiar-looking lake. Instead of aqua, the water had amethyst as its color. Lucky for her, before she could even take a step closer towards the eye-catching lake, her mother halted her. And why did that happen, you wonder?

"I go closer to you every day, but you’re still faraway."

It turned out that the amethyst-colored lake was a magical lake. A lake which could take any faery to the humans' world. For other faeries, it would be their ambition to explore the humans' world. But for a Pooka like her, her mother couldn't allow her to go across the border. Due to several incidents, Pooka's image on the humans' world was bad, worse than how she could imagine it. Humans, especially in Ireland, feared Pooka's presence, since a single Pooka could create havoc with its nature-related powers.

"I promise, I won't walk away."

Alas, the curious Pooka couldn't gratify her curiosity upon the humans' world. Since her mother had told her, once she went through the lake, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the beauty of Garden of Eden—the other name of Phantasia— ever again. An enticing journey had a great cost, indeed. Despite knowing the fact that she would be kicked out from the Garden of Eden if she braced herself to enter the amethyst lake, her curiosity and desire of doing so kept on blossoming upon her conscience.

"It will come true some day, this long waiting."

In the end, she couldn't ignore her yearning to go through the border. Without her parents's blessing, the innocent Pooka trotted towards the amethyst lake. As she walked deeper into the lake, mystical mist started to surround her. Scenes of her childhood in Phantasia could be seen from the mist, rendering her reluctant to go even further towards the lake which became deeper as she kept on walking. Yet, what's done is done. There was no way back. All she could do was to keep walking, towards the mist which kept on haunting her with her surreal memories during her time in the Garden of Eden. Until, she became completely drenched into the amethyst-colored water.

"Can you hear my cry? On a late night, I’m dreaming."

The moment she pulled out her head to breathe, the scenery that she witnessed became completely different. It was Phantasia no more. The no-longer-innocent young Pooka had arrived at the humans' world. With that done, all she could do was only striving to survive in the humans' world.

"You must have been very far."

In the end, during her venture within Earth, did she realize the whole truth. Phantasia was only the world she could live in when she was a child; her childhood. No matter what, every child would eventually grow up; entering the true world, Earth.

Growing up is not the problem, forgetting is.

This Pooka would never forgot how Phantasia was, how her parents' wisdom guided her through her girlhood. As for now, she shall create her own purpose of life, hiding her hope of being reunited with her parents.

For more details of her story, it is written here.

Pookas, pronounced poo-ka is from the old Irish ‘Puca, are commonly known as evil creatures who are able to change their shapes and originate from the myths and folkloric stories in Scotland, Ireland and the neighboring areas. There are many variations of the spelling Pooka some of which are Puca, Plica, Phuca,Pwwka, Puka or Pookha all of which are totally acceptable. It is possible that the origin of the word Pooka may come from the Scandinavian word Pook or Puke meaning ‘nature sprit’.

Belongs to the Fey race, Pookas are creatures who are known for their supernatural powers and their ability to connect with nature.

Some people claim that Pooka was a God in Europe with the name “Boga.” It is believed that Boga was a God of nature, resulting Pookas' plant manipulation and animal manipulation abilities. Depends on their genuineness as a Pooka, the extent of their nature manipulations' abilities differ.

As for Brietta, her plant manipulation abilities allow her to do as of follow ;

★; create plants from the ground
☆; manipulate the growth of plants
★; control plants' movements
☆; converse with plants
★; manipulate plants roots, vines, leves, and branches to use them as whip-like and spear-like weapons

With limitations as of follow ;

★; unable to create plants which she never encountered before
☆; unable to create plants if her energy is low, since creating from nothing takes a whole lot of energy
★; most ineffective if she's unable to access fertile grounds
☆; unable to bring life back to dead plants

For Brietta's animal manipulation abilities, it allows her to do as of follow ;

★; create animals from the ground
☆; manipulate the growth of animals
★; control animals' movements
☆; converse with animals

With limitations as of follow ;

★; unable to create animals which she never encountered before
☆; unable to create animals if her energy is low, since creating from nothing takes a whole lot of energy
★; most ineffective if she's unable to access fertile grounds
☆; unable to bring life back to dead animals

Since her plant and animal manipulation abilities heavily depends on the nature's fertility, her powers are rendered inefficient if she's faced with infertile soils, extreme cold, and extreme heat.

Despite Pooka's abilities with the nature, their identity lies on their ace which never depends on their energy. An ultimate shapeshifter, a Pooka can take any form it chooses, but their original form is a dark, sleek horse with a long wild flowing mane and luminescent golden eyes. Yet, since Pooka is an incredible shapeshifter, they can become a dog, cat, goat, rabbit, eagle, panther, snake, bear, and many other living forms that exist. No matter what form they use, they always appear with jet-black coat.

Pooka's original form

Pooka as a butterfly

Pooka as a dog

Pooka as a cat

Pooka as a panther

Pooka as a snake

An important thing to always remember about a Pooka is that they have the power of human speech and when inclined, they make great sport of those they talk to as they like to embellish the truth.

In Ireland, the Pooka is the most feared Faery, possibly because it appears only at night and enjoys creating havoc and mischief.

Another thing the Pooka love is to chat and will happily stop and enjoy the breeze with you, sometimes giving great advice and making exceptional prophecies for an exceptional price. Though Pooka has its trickster side, Pooka can become a wiseful faery and give people wisdoms.

November 1st is considered Pooka's Day. This coincides with the harvest and the traditional customs that when the harvest is being brought in, the reaper must leave a few stalks behind. This is called the Pooka's share and must be left to appease the Pooka because we for one would not like to incur its wrath.

Milka van Guiness Deoch Elsha

Previously named as Milka Van Guiness, this girl was Brietta's owner. They both escaped from Van Guiness estate, her origin. Yet, they decided to take off and start a new life together, a free life. Though still a beginner, Milka had a bright future as a rider, hence making them both spent a lot of time to hone their skills for the equestrian world.

Thanks to her sacrifice, Brietta was then able to unlock her true potentials.

Royce Van Guiness

The older brother of her previous owner, the one who witnessed the Pooka's kill upon his mother. The figure who she scared of the most, since he could get his revenge anytime towards her. He was one exceptional rider, she had the risk to encounter him in an equestrian competition in the future.

And indeed they both met, under the dead or alive circumstances. He ended up becoming the faery's master, a guide towards her path to her genuine value as a Pooka.

And hell, it was hell.
If only she didn't show up, she'd be stuck in hell for all eternity.

In the end, the Pooka broke free from his wicked chains. With the destruction of his chains, his life had also came to oblivion. Her kill towards him became the last push she needed to be the truest self of hers, how ironic.

CJ

In present, CJ is the only human she holds dear as a friend. This may be due to the fact that they once lived together in Venom City, under the same roof. Not only that, CJ earned her respect ever since the human welcomed her owner in their house. Despite her respect, sometimes, her mischief may go overboard, even towards this human. Nevertheless, she never meant real harm. In a way, she considered CJ as her family―though she may have a hard time to admit this.

Rena

Since Rena is CJ's counterpart, it's only natural for her to learn to respect this human as well. It may not go smoothly for her, since Rena earned her respect only due to privilege―at least, that's how Brietta see it. If only Rena doesn't remind her of Milka, she'll have a much harder time to respect this human. Aside from that, how Rena pours her pure love towards CJ somehow tickles her mind, in a good way. Since she lost hope in mostly everything, seeing how humans can still love, somehow brought joy within her secret heart.

"I’ll fill my heart in the stars in the sky and send it to you."

★; Her full name, Brietta Deoch Elsha, has a connected meaning. Brietta stands for strong. Deoch stands for mythical princess. Elsha stands for noble. Put them all together, her full name has a meaning of strong and noble mythical princess.

☆; The amethyst lake, which brought her to the humans' world, turned out had a meaning behind its color. Brietta found it out after she knew that the color purple relates to the imagination and spirituality. It stimulates the imagination and inspires high ideals. It is an introspective color, allowing us to get in touch with our deeper thoughts.

★; Has a soft-spot upon the back of her neck. This somehow only applies to her when she's using her original form. Lightly massage it to make her lower her guard.

☆; Aware of the importance of balancing her light and shadow within herself, she has a liking to play Tibetan singing bowls to balance her chaotic nature.

★; Another human activity that she likes is practicing yoga, especially within the forest.

☆; Surprisingly loves to sing, especially in the forest, with the birds and other animals.

★; Aside from singing, she can also play guitar, ironically thanks to her torturing era of absolute devotion to Royce.

☆; Is very vulnerable to anything made with silver, keep it away from her or she'll burn.

★; Due to her tormenting training, she has high pain tolerance, but only if she's prepared to receive pain―thanks to Royce's method of prepping her.

☆; Rarely eats humans' food, since she prefers to use her original form and munch on grass instead.

★; Though black is her main color—because of Pooka's nature—, her favorite color is purple.

☆; Banana is her favorite fruit. It was the first fruit she ever eaten in the humans' world.

★; Her birthday, November 1st, is actually a Pooka's Day in Ireland.

☆; Star-gazing became her hobby the moment she arrived at the humans' world. The stars reminded her of the gleaming luminous plants within Phantasia's forest.

★; Ironically loves to drink tea, especially lemongrass tea. Why ironic, you ask? Because tea was the only drink she can brew for Royce.

☆; Her colossal wings may resemble butterfly, but their movement resemble the bird's instead.

★; Due to the past, she has a star mark on the back of her right shoulder which is mostly hidden very well by her long hair.

☆; People who have advanced dressage riding skills will earn the privilege to be able to ride her in peace, for she respects people who respect the sport.

★; Likes to be pampered through baths, especially when humans give her a bath when she's using her true form.

☆; Hates and fears her birthday, since she thinks of birthdays as getting closer to death and she doesn't feel ready to die―to face both Milka and Royce in the after life.

★; Thanks to her devotion to Royce, she had stained her hands with tons of humans' blood. As an attempt to be eternally untouched by humans' laws, she never used her human form whenever she had to make a kill.

☆; Panther form and snake form became her forms that she hated, since they were her most frequently used forms to kill her targets. Unless urgently needed, she would avoid any chances of using those two forms.
