Brill (Elfquest)

|
Brill is a fictional female elf character from the comic book series Elfquest by Wendy and Richard Pini. She's one of the WaveDancers, the sea elves who live at Crest Point, introduced in the 1996 Summer Special pilot-issue and whose adventures are continued in the Elfquest Reader's Collection #15. Brill, who has long dark brown hair, sparkling jewel deep blue eyes, and uniquely shaped ears, used to be love-mate to the tribe's only fullgrown healer, Skimback, right before the story started. However, he was tied by Recognition to another woman of the tribe, Sandsparkle, and Brill has been alone and mourning ever since, for she too had always wished to bear a child of her own. Thought she's being cheered up by Spine, the tribe's joker, Brill has started wondering if she too will Recognize someday.
She has a twin sister, the sassy warrior Krill, who is identical to her but has short-cropped hair and not shaped ears.
Brill was featured in the 1999 Lovemates Calendar's December Plate by Wendy Pini, together with Sunstream (previously known as Suntop), who is the son of Elfquest's main characters Cutter and Leetah. Afterwards, Richard Pini stated "there's a strong probability" Sunstream and Brill will Recognize by the time of "Final Quest". Rumors claim that she will also be a main character in the further WaveDancers tales.
It remains to be seen whether the new DC Comics Elfquest publications will deal with WaveDancers, or not.
The name of Brill comes from a flatfish of European waters which has fins that strongly resemble hers (see Brill).
