==Appearance and Personality==
==Appearance and Personality==
Nera is a gentle and modest girl, a stark contrast to her rude and outspoken sister Debora. Her outfit is a bright white and pink affair, its intricacies reflecting the rich family she comes from. She has long flowing blue hair which is tied by a big pink ribbon. She also wears a golden choker, bracers, and earrings. She also wears a toga-style white gown, which is worn over a longer pink dress, held together by an obi-sash with gold and jewels, once again showing her family's wealth.

She wears a toga-style white gown, which is worn over a longer pink dress, held together by an obi-sash with gold and jewels, once again showing her family's wealth.


==Story==
Her outfit, like that of most characters, has been made more elaborate in the {{Heroes}} games. She wears a pair of white lace opera gloves with pearl bracelets and a large decorative white flower at the top of her left glove, as well as white pump heels instead of her usual black. Her dress also has more lace details and an intricate embroidered pattern on the skirt and her hair bow.
{{spoiler|start}}
The player will first meet Nera at the start of the game where she is still a child, seeing both her and her sister for a short time before moving on in the story. Nera will not be seen again until the second generation, where the [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|Hero]] will catch her runaway dog Bingo shortly after entering [[Mostroferrato]] for the first time. Mr. Briscoletti is in possession of the [[Zenithian shield]], and will only give it to the man who marries his daughter. Looking for a man worthy enough to be her groom, he tasks perspective bachelors with retrieving the [[Circle of Fire]] & [[Circle of Water]].


When the hero returns with both rings, Nera notices his friend [[Bianca]] and wonders if he has feelings for her. Her father asks that he choose between Nera and Bianca, agreeing to finance the wedding either way. Before he can make a decision, her sister Debora emerges and offers herself as a last minute bachelorette. If the player chose Nera, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as the hero's wife. If the player does not marry her, Nera will marry her own childhood friend Crispin Burns and live with him in the Briscoletti's second home.

Nera will not be seen again until the second generation, where The {{Hero 5}} will catch her runaway dog Bingo shortly after entering [[Mostroferrato]] for the first time.

Looking for a man worthy enough to be her groom, he tasks prospective bachelors with retrieving the [[Circle of Fire]] & [[Circle of Water]].


Upon reaching the hero's homeland, the kingdom of [[Gotha]], it is revealed that Nera 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 is coronated as the new King of Gotha - but after a night of celebrations, Nera is abducted by monsters while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from [[Kon the Knight]] at his [[Knightmare Tower|towers]], 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]].
When The {{Hero 5}} returns with both rings, Nera notices his friend [[Bianca Whitaker]] and wonders if he has feelings for her. Her father asks that he choose between Nera and {{Bianca}}, agreeing to finance the wedding either way. Before he can make a decision, her sister {{Debora}} emerges and offers herself as a last minute bachelorette.

If the player does not marry her, Nera will marry her own childhood friend [[Crispin Burns]] and live with him in the Briscoletti's second home.


In the eight years that pass, Nera's petrified form ended up at the temple of [[Crocodilopolis]]. The hero and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the party. Together, they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find the hero's mother, Madeline, and defeat the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

====Level up restriction====
Of the three brides for the Hero, Nera is the most able when it comes to magic and relies more on spell usage than [[Bianca]] and [[Debora]], having the most overall spells of the three. Additionally, she is the only bride candidate with the ability to heal in any way, starting with <i>Midheal</i> in most versions [or can learn it within a couple of levels from when she joins]. She is also the only bride with the explosive <i>Boom</i> family of spells.
In the {{Super Famicom}} version of the game, Nera could only make it to Level 10 in the second generation, as well as being uncontrollable.  The {{PlayStation 2}} and [[Nintendo DS]] versions remove this limitation and allows her to be controlled as normal in the second generation.

==Etymology==
==Etymology==
Nera's original Japanese name, Flora, is the name of the goddess of flowers in Roman mythology. She is also associated with springtime and fertility. Flora would lend her name to the English word, flora, which means plantlife of all kinds. The name Nera itself is a symbolic Hebrew name given to girls born on Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights and means "candle" or "Light". It is also the feminine form of ''nero'', the Italian word for the color black; this serves to contrast Bianca, whose name means "white".

"Wow! The dedication of these soldiers is so inspiring! It really gets me into it, too!"

—Nera, observing the soldiers training in the Gotha barracks in Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride.

Nera Briscoletti (Flora in Japanese, which is left unchanged in fan translations) is a character and possible party member in Dragon Quest V.

She is a blue-haired maiden and Rodrigo Briscoletti's daughter. Starting with the DS remake, she has a sister named Debora. She is one of the player's choices to be The Hero's bride.

Appearance and Personality[edit]

Nera is a gentle and modest girl, a stark contrast to her rude and outspoken sister Debora. Her outfit is a bright white and pink affair, its intricacies reflecting the rich family she comes from. She has long flowing blue hair which is tied by a big pink ribbon. She also wears a golden choker, bracers, and earrings. She wears a toga-style white gown, which is worn over a longer pink dress, held together by an obi-sash with gold and jewels, once again showing her family's wealth.

Her outfit, like that of most characters, has been made more elaborate in the Heroes games. She wears a pair of white lace opera gloves with pearl bracelets and a large decorative white flower at the top of her left glove, as well as white pump heels instead of her usual black. Her dress also has more lace details and an intricate embroidered pattern on the skirt and her hair bow.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]

The player will first meet Nera at the start of the game where she is still a child, seeing both her and her sister for a short time before moving on in the story. Nera will not be seen again until the second generation, where The Hero will catch her runaway dog Bingo shortly after entering Mostroferrato for the first time. Mr. Briscoletti is in possession of the Zenithian shield, and will only give it to the man who marries his daughter. Looking for a man worthy enough to be her groom, he tasks prospective bachelors with retrieving the Circle of Fire & Circle of Water.

When The Hero returns with both rings, Nera notices his friend Bianca Whitaker and wonders if he has feelings for her. Her father asks that he choose between Nera and Bianca, agreeing to finance the wedding either way. Before he can make a decision, her sister Debora emerges and offers herself as a last minute bachelorette. If the player chose Nera, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as The Hero's wife. If the player does not marry her, Nera will marry her own childhood friend Crispin Burns and live with him in the Briscoletti's second home.

Upon reaching The Hero's homeland, the kingdom of Gotha, it is revealed that Nera 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: a boy and a girl. The Hero is coronated as the new King of Gotha - but after a night of celebrations, Nera is abducted by monsters while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from Kon the Knight at his towers, 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, Nera's petrified form ended up at the temple of Crocodilopolis. The Hero and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the party. Together, they travel to Nadiria to find The Hero's mother, Madalena, and defeat the Grandmaster of the Underworld.

Of the three brides for the Hero, Nera is the most able when it comes to magic and relies more on spell usage than Bianca Whitaker and Debora Briscoletti, having the most overall spells of the three. Additionally, she is the only bride candidate with the ability to heal in any way, starting with Midheal in most versions or can learn it within a couple of levels from when she joins].

Her Coup de Grâce is Big Banga, where she raises her wand to the sky, twirling it around to gather magic, which she then flings forward as a giant bubble to create an incredible explosion a few yards ahead of her.

Dragon Quest Walk[edit]

Nera, along with Bianca and Debora, appears as part of the game's 2-year anniversary Dragon Quest V event. As in the original game, the player can choose Nera as a bride in Chapter 3 of the event's story. Each of the three has their own branching quests and the player cannot choose another after making their selection. Nera's route is entitled "Road to Happiness".

Quotes[edit]

Knightmare Towers

"'Oh, <player>! I knew you'd come and rescue me! But... You really shouldn't have. The reason those monsters had the Chancellor kidnap me was so that you'd follow. It's the ringleader's plan to kill you and then become king in your place! Oh!"
"'Stop! Stop this at once, Kon!"
"'There you are, darling! Now's your chance!"

Etymology[edit]

Nera's original Japanese name, Flora, is the name of the goddess of flowers in Roman mythology. She is also associated with springtime and fertility. Flora would lend her name to the English word, flora, which means plantlife of all kinds. The name Nera itself is a symbolic Hebrew name given to girls born on Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights and means "candle" or "Light". It is also the feminine form of nero, the Italian word for the color black; this serves to contrast Bianca, whose name means "white".
