Briar Moss
Briar Moss, once known as 'Roach', is a fictional character from Tamora Pierce's quartets ''Circle of Magic'' and ''The Circle Opens'' as well as the stand-alone ''The Will of the Empress''.
Briar is of unknown, multiracial parentage. He is described as having curly black hair and brown skin, typical to natives of Sotat, his birthland, but with a Western nose and light, gray-green eyes.
==Background==
Briar Moss was, in early life, a street rat called 'Roach'. In The Circle of Magic quartet, he is about 10; in ''The Circle Opens'' quartet, he's 14; and in ''The Will of the Empress'', Briar is 18. His mother was killed when he was approximately four, and he was recruited by a gang, the Lightnings, led by the 'Thief-Lord', in Deadman's District in Hajra. He was caught three times, receiving a tattoo of an ''X'' on the webbing between each thumb and forefinger for the first two; on the third he was sentenced to life at the docks. A great mage, Niklaren Goldeye, had a vision that he would find special mages—mages whose ambient powers were not easily discernible by the usual means—and as such was there, as he needed to be, during Briar's trial. He was able to detect the boy's psychic affinity with plants, and took him to Winding Circle Temple to be educated in plant magic.
Although initially a thief, Briar developed a strong sense of right and wrong, which would serve as a weapon against criminals and seductresses. He is cantankerous, but possesses profound loyalty to his foster-sisters Daja Kisubo (whom he calls Daj'), Sandrilene (Sandry) fa Toren, and Trisana (usually called Tris for short, but Briar often calls her Coppercurls) Chandler and his teacher Rosethorn, as well as a cutting sense of humor. His affinity with all things botanical has made him not only a master gardener, but has also led to such oddities as stealing and later coming to own an ancient, magic-storing, miniature pine tree called a ''shakkan'', tattoos of flowers that live and grow under his skin (he attempted to tattoo over his prisoner ''X'' tattoos with vegetable dyes and one of Sandry's needles), and the ability to control growth of plants. During the Circle Opens, he is shown to be somewhat flirty, but in the Will of the Empress he becomes much more promiscuous. In the same book, he was suffering from Posttraumatic stress disorder.
