Description
Brianne de Chateau, known in her transformed state as Ribrianne, is a warrior from Universe 2. Her civilian name and appearance are unique to the anime adaptation of the "Dragon Ball Super" story, while the manga presents only her transformed state, with notable differences in characterization. Her name is a play on chateaubriand steak, continuing a naming theme for characters from her universe.
In her base form, Brianne appears as a slender young woman with shoulder-length green hair, typically wearing a pink dress with a white collar, a belt, black leggings, and pink high-heeled shoes. When she transforms into Ribrianne, her alter ego, her physique becomes nearly spherical and rotund, her skin turns teal, and she wears a sleeveless red and green dress with a thick petticoat, yellow gloves and boots, and a cap with an antenna-like protrusion on her head. This transformation is a deliberate parody of the magical girl genre, contrasting with the sentai hero motif of the Pride Troopers from Universe 11. Later in the Tournament of Power, she accesses further transformations, including Super Ribrianne, which grants her butterfly wings and increased power, and a colossal giant form.
At her core, Brianne is defined by her absolute belief in the power and strength of love. She views love and happiness as the most important emotions and entered the Tournament of Power with the personal goal of wishing upon the Super Dragon Balls to become a goddess of love for all universes. However, her initial understanding of love is somewhat shallow and self-centered, primarily focused on outer beauty and her own team, rather than its deeper, more inclusive forms. This is most evident when she expresses shock that Android 18 could be married to Krillin, whom she considers ugly due to his lack of a nose and bald head. Despite this, she is brave and not easily intimidated, maintaining a calm demeanor in the face of overwhelming power from fighters like Kale or Jiren. She also has a low tolerance for insults, especially regarding her appearance or the ritual of her transformation, and can become enraged when her teammates are harmed or eliminated.
Brianne is the leader of Universe 2's team and heads a subgroup of magical girl warriors known as the Kamikaze Fireballs, fighting alongside her trusted companions Sanka Ku (who transforms into Kakunsa) and Su Roas (who transforms as Rozie). Her role in the Tournament of Power is as a major antagonist for Universe 7, engaging in significant battles against several of its key fighters. She clashes with Vegeta early in the tournament, fights Android 17 in a lengthy exchange, and has a pivotal rivalry with Android 18. Her fighting style is characterized as reckless and aggressive, relying on charging attacks and powerful punches.
Throughout the tournament, Brianne undergoes notable development. After her teammate Rozie is eliminated through trickery by Android 17 and 18, and she herself is ultimately defeated by Android 18, she is initially saddened. However, upon seeing the genuine, loving relationship between Android 18 and Krillin, she begins to question her own superficial beliefs, wondering if there are other types of love she does not yet understand. In her final moments before her universe is erased, she sheds her anger and arrogance, uniting all of Universe 2 in a final, fearless celebration of love, cheerfully waving goodbye as she is erased.
As a fighter, Brianne possesses a variety of magical and ki-based abilities themed around love and hearts. Her signature attack is the Pretty Cannon, a pink, heart-shaped energy blast fired from her hands. She can also fire rapid smaller heart blasts with the Pretty Love Machine Gun, summon an energy bow to fire homing Heart Arrows of Love, and utilize powerful team attacks with her fellow Kamikaze Fireballs, such as the Light of Love, which releases a hypnotic sweet aroma. Her ultimate technique is the Ribrianne Eternal Love, where she creates a massive heart of energy to launch at her opponent. She can also use the Big Amour technique to trap an opponent by encasing them in a giant heart construct. Her strength in her transformed state is considerable, allowing her to fight evenly with Super Saiyan Vegeta and hold her own against Android 17 and Android 18.
