Rue Briar



Codename: Rue

Age: 18

Powers
Rue is a skilled alchemist and is always training to brew new magical teas in place of Mistaké. She mainly deals in defense and healing, as direct combat isn’t her style. She’s catalogued and studied the ninjas powers thoroughly and has been able to use that information to enhance their powers temporarily with different brews. She’s not an elemental master, but for the sake of not dying on the battle field Lloyd teaches her spinjitzu and basic defense. She does try to learn sorcery but after a bad experience vows it off.

Backstory
When the Harumi and Garmadon took over the city Rue was hiding away from the SOG with her father, due to his position as an advisor to the mayor of the city and close terms with the Emperor and Empress, he was wanted. She fails to save him and he’s made an example of by Garmadon. Now alone Rue decides to help out anyone in danger from the SOG and runs into Mistake, Mistake says nothing and hands her the keys to the shop. She’s confused until she finds out Mistake is dead and sees the address carved into the key. Deciding she needs a place to crash and a way to survive she starts learning about the strange little shop, and eventually finds a book with every receipt and root she needs to replace Mistake in tea brewing. The ninja come to clear out the shop post S9 and after a shaky introduction Wu decides to teach her what he knew from mistake and gives her more recourses to learn alchemy. Lloyd and the others help her learn some self defense, including spinjitzu, but she becomes jealous of their elemental powers and finds Wu's copies of Clouses teachings in sorcery. She teaches herself some basic control and goes to show everyone but accidentally hits and scars Lloyd, vowing to never use it again.
