Branwyn (マーガレット, Margaret) is a fictional character featured in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War.

Role in Game

Branwyn starts out as a mercenary but does not seem to be motivated by money or glory and often targets French nobles in any conflicts she participates. Her fellow mercenaries are confused by this behavior and question her reasons for fighting. It is later revealed that she has a strong desire to join the English forces, but every time she enlists they turn her down because of her young age and gender.

Eventually, Branwyn finds the perfect opportunity and follows Prince Edward's knights into battle. Despite initial complaints from his knights, Edward allows her to fight to test her skill. Once the battle is won, an impressed Prince Edward apologizes to her for the behavior of his subordinates and accepts her among the ranks of his army.

Bladestorm: Nightmare

In the Nightmare story segment, Branwyn is among the many officers sent to hunt down the player who they accuse of siding with monsters. Though defeated in battle, she and the others learn their mistake and gladly offer aid to clear up the misunderstanding caused by the kings of England and France. Branwyn in particular contributes to the alliance's excursion in Flanders by keeping the monster army at bay with long-range archery.

• "It seems the English troops under Prince Edward are highly regarded."

"They are august, well ordered and chivalrous - the very model of knighthood."

"That is not true. They are an obstinate shower who would shun a person simply on account of her being female. Curse them! I know they would suffer me to join them were they witness to my skill!"
