Debora Briscoletti is a playable character exclusively in the Nintendo DS version of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. She is the elder sister of Nera Briscoletti, and one of Rodrigo Briscoletti's two daughters.

Appearance and Personality

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.

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 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 a mother, Debora first appears very strict toward her children, though her love for them is clearly displayed in cut-scenes.

Appearances

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Debora is first seen in the prologue as Pankraz and 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's wife.

Upon reaching The Hero'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: a boy and a girl. The Hero is coronated as the new King of Gotha - but after a night of celebrations, Debora is abducted by monsters while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from Kon the Knight at his 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 and the children are able to finally free her, and she rejoins the party. Together they travel to Nadiria to find The Hero's mother, Madeline, and defeat the 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. 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.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation

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.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Debora has made an appearance in the Quester's Rest in the game Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies. She gives the player Debora's Dress.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

The Luminary can visit the Briscoletti mansion on the eve of the wedding via the Echo Chamber in the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Due to the actions of a monster sealed away by her ancestor Rodolfo, Debora has been turned into an exact duplicate of her father on the eve of her wedding day. Thankfully, the groom is still away from the mansion and the monster has been located in Alltrades Abbey.

Debora is more concerned about fitting into her wardrobe when transformed than anything else, complaining that none of her clothes fit anymore. When spoken to after the event is over, she fumes over the absence of the groom and calls him a useless boy as she wonders where he is.

Dragon Quest Rivals

Debora appears in the illustrations of several cards and can be used as the player avatar.

Quotes

Knightmare Towers

"'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!"

"'<player>! You'll pay for this, Kon!"

"'Now, <player>! Finish him off!"

Trivia

• 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 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 Three, they will mention how "scary" she is in party talk. She remains curt as ever.
• In her room, there is a "Bruise the Ooze" game machine that the player can use.
