Bruna, the Light of Alabaster, was an Angel from Innistrad. She was the leader of the Flight of Alabaster. She was eldrazified by Emrakul.

History

The Four Sisters

Bruna, Gisela, Sigarda, and Liesa are described as sisters who pre-existed Avacyn.[1] Despite this, when Avacyn appeared, the sisters deferred to her out of respect for her power and goodness.

As such, while they disapproved of Liesa's consorting with demons, Bruna and her sisters stood aside when Avacyn executed Liesa in a righteous fury and forbid her name to be spoken again.

The Flight of Alabaster

Bruna and the other angels of The Flight of Alabaster personify the Blessed Sleep and are associated with the Hunter's Moon season.[2][3] They provide magic that wards against the desecration of dead humans. In the absence of Avacyn, they remained the most active guardian force and continued to reinforce wards that protected the human populations.

Corruption

Brisela, Voice of Nightmare

After Avacyn's corruption, Bruna fell in complete alignment with Avacyn's will, going off on a crusade to wipe out humanity. She and Gisela showed up at Sigarda's home, trying to intimidate her into allying herself with them.[1]

After Avacyn's death, Nahiri managed to summon Emrakul into Innistrad. This resulted in Bruna and Gisela being mutated into a horrific amalgamation, Brisela, that enforced Emrakul's will.[4] Brisela was killed by Sigarda.[5]
