}}'''Debora Briscoletti''' (デボラ, ''Debora'') is a playable character that appears exclusively in the [[Nintendo DS]] and smartphone versions of {{Dragon Quest V}}.

 

She is the elder sister of [[Nera Briscoletti]], one of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]]'s two daughters, and one of the eponymous "[[Heavenly Bride]]s" that can marry the {{Hero 5}}.

 

She has gone on to make guest appearances in other games, including {{IX}} and {{XI}}, as well as spinoff games.

Debora prefers expensive clothes and spends considerable time on her makeup. Her jet black hair, revealing attire and piercing eyes give Debora a somewhat intimidating form. She is taller and more voluptuous compared to her younger sister and has blue eyes. Her black hair is worn in an updo with decorative roses as hair accessories and she has a beauty mark near her left eye. Debora wears a short pink one-piece dress with red frills and lace and a red ribbon tied in the front, red high heels, a white fur stole around her shoulders, as well as various gold accessories. She wears gold hoop earrings, bracelets, a beaded anklet around her right foot, a necklace with a green stone, a beaded chain with pink jewels around her waist, and a sash with green and blue jewels of the same style worn by her sister {{Nera}}.

Because she was given whatever she asked for as a child, Debora has a very impatient and bossy personality that rubs most people the wrong way, even her own father. She initially considers the {{Hero 5}} more of a servant than a husband, but gradually softens her demeanor after she joins him on the search for his mother. ("So I can keep my eye on you.") As much as Debora loves to boss around others, she herself despises being told what to do and being bossed around, this is clearly displayed in [[Party Chat]] after the {{Hero 5}} marries her, where she will tell him that she married him not only to have her own servant, but to get away from her father and his rules. As a mother, Debora first appears very strict toward her children, though her love for them is clearly displayed in cut-scenes.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ5}}===

Debora is first seen in the prologue as [[Pankraz]] and [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|his son]] are disembarking in [[Littlehaven]]. She runs off to the ship cabin before her father can introduce her. She is not seen again until the second generation, when The Hero arrives in [[Mostroferrato]] in search of the {{Zenithian shield}}. Though she initially stand-offish in manner, when it comes time for him to decide between marrying [[Bianca Whitaker]] or {{Nera}}, Debora descends down the stairs and suddenly offers herself as a third bachelorette - to see if he is man enough to take her hand in marriage. If the player chooses Debora, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as The {{Hero 5}}'s {{Wife 5}}.

Upon reaching The {{Hero 5}}'s homeland, the kingdom of [[Gotha]], it is revealed that Debora is pregnant and she will stay in the castle to rest until it is time. After he returns from the [[Riteof Passage]], she gives birth to twins: [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|a boy]] and [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|a girl]]. The {{Hero 5}} is coronated as the new King of [[Gotha]] - but after a night of celebrations, Debora is abducted by {{MFamilies}}s while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from [[Kon the Knight]] at his [[Knightmare Towers|tower]], it is learned that she has the blood of The Legendary Hero - and for this reason she and her husband are turned to stone by Bishop [[Ladja]].

In the eight years that pass, Debora's petrified form ended up at the temple of [[Crocodilopolis]]. The {{Hero 5}} and the children are able to finally free her, and she rejoins the {{Party 5}}. Together they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find The {{Hero 5}}'s mother, [[Madalena]], and defeat the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

====Stats====

Debora is more of a physical fighter than {{Bianca}} or {{Nera}}. She has the most limited spell selection of the three, but can equip several of the more powerful swords, as well as [[Hela's hammer]] and every claw in the game. There are a few pieces of equipment unique to her, such as the [[Diamond akillics]] and [[Floral parasol]]. Due to her high agility attribute and the aforementioned acrylics, Debora is adept at slaying metal monsters.

====Equipment====

 

Debora appears in one of the three possible versions of [[Reaper's Peak]], specifically the one based on the far distant future of {}Dragon Quest V}}. She is found in the top floor of the mayor's home, and unlike the other brides she is not spending time with her children.

 

==={{DQ9}}===

On October 15, 2010, Debora began appearing as a special guest at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, she will give the {{Hero 9}} different pieces of her outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.

*[[Debora's damasks]] - Received if it is the player's birthday.

*[[Highness heels]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.

The player will receive the [[Accolade]] '''Bossy Bride''' if the {{Hero 9}} wears all parts of Debora's costume. However, it is only possible for a female {{Hero 9}} to earn this accolade as certain parts of Debora's costume are female-exclusive.

 

 

 

Appearing under the name "Third Woman Debora", she can be summoned to perform a special attack named "Sky Heel Drop". She leaps into the air and delivers a powerful axe kick that splits [[Crocodilopolis|Mount Azimuth]] in half.

 

 

Debora appears as a side character in the second part of the {{Dragon Quest V}} story event. If players choose to adventure with her, she will accompany the group in the {{Dragon Quest V}} quests, occasionally finding additional treasures, and also appear in the multiplayer lobby when hosting. Choosing her also gives players the option to obtain equipment based on her, as well as black wigs based on {{Parry}} and {{Madchen}}; and the option to dress Debora up with any armor the player has -as long as it's equippable by female characters.

 

 

Debora appears as an S-rank character of the Hero family as part of the limited {{Dragon Quest V}} event, appearing on her own banner along with [[Snowbird]]. She can also be chosen as the player's companion by giving her the [[Circle of Water]]. She wields [[Iron claws]] in her model and her Akillics appear as a special weapon. Debora also appears as a boss in the special Zenithian Brides boss battle with {{Bianca}} and {{Nera}}.

 

:''"'I knew you'd come and rescue me sooner or later, <player>.But you shouldn't have! You've played right into their hands! That's why they used the Chancellor and kidnapped me. It was to lure you here. The ringleader is planning to kill you and then become king in your place! How dare he!"''

 

Debora is the Italian, Dutch, and German form of the name Deborah, itself a Hebrew name דְּבוֹרָה that means "bee". In the Old Testament Book of Judges from the Bible, Deborah is a heroine and a prophetess who leads the Israelites when they are threatened by the Canaanites. Together with the help of Israelite general Barak, they form an army and destroy the Canaanite army. It is a common Jewish name and was first used by English Christians after the Protestant Reformation.

*Her wedding ceremony is the same as her sister's would be (except it uses fireworks for her entrance instead of colorful confetti like Nera's), though the {{Hero 5}} is forced to sleep on the floor during their honeymoon. Because the story is not significantly different for any of the brides, the only truly new experience marrying Debora brings is her unique [[Party Chat]] and more aggressive battle style.

*If the player did not marry Debora, and later visits her with his children in Generation III, they will mention how "scary" she is in [[Party Chat]]. She remains curt as ever.
