“It seethed inside me for years, a molten pit, burning like destructor fire. That's when I realized the Superiority was right. I was dangerous. Very, very dangerous. ”
—Brade on how she felt after being taken from her biological parents.[1]
Brade Shimabukuro is a human woman licensed to Winzik, the head of the Superiority's Department of Protective Services.[2][1]
Brade was taken from her parents at the age of seven and her upbringing was overseen by Winzik.[1]
Appearance and Personality
Brade is a human woman in her early twenties, is a couple of centimeters taller than Spensa, muscled, and wears her hair in a buzz cut. Brade has a lean face, severe beyond her age, and walks with a certain power in her step.[2] Brade's last name, Shimabukuro,[1] means "island bag" in Japanese and may suggest Japanese heritage,[3][4] specifically from the island of Okinawa. Brade has varvax mannerisms and uses their hand gestures due to her upbringing under Winzik.[5] She is also known to use dione hand gestures.[6]
“What, and give up the fight? Admit it. You've been wondering all along, haven't you? Which of us is better? Well, let's find out.”
—Brade, to Spensa, exhibiting her ultra competitive spirit.[7]
Brade has a forceful and domineering personality, constantly pushing hers and Winzik's views on people she hasn't even met.[2]
She is extremely aggressive, at times for little reason, such as when she light-lances Morriumur into an asteroid during the Superiority's Delver Resistance Program tryouts.[8] Whether she meant to slingshot Morriumur into an asteroid and condemn him to be destroyed by the drones, or rather she was just using him to accomplish the means of making an extremely sharp turn, is unclear. Her aggression is easily triggered, evident at the party aboard the Weights and Measures when she throws her drink against the wall after being annoyed by government officials.[6]
She is very competitive, always trying to outdo Spensa during their time training in the delver maze, and especially right before she summons a delver near Detritus, when she challenges Spensa to see who the better pilot is.[7]
Although she was raised by varvax, Brade still feels connected to humans, as she displays confliction when Spensa asks her how she feels about destroying the humans on Detritus.[6] She is loyal to Winzik to a fault, due him overseeing her upbringing, evident in her support of his coup[6] and her continual defense of his ideas and methods from Spensa's attacks.[1]
Attributes and Abilities
Pilot
Brade is an extremely talented pilot, considered by Spensa to be superior to her.[9] It is quite possible that Brade is the most talented one on one pilot in the galaxy. Brade flies a Krell interceptor[10], and is adept at using the light-lance[8], the destructors, and maneuvering in tight spaces. She is able to handle the stress of flying in the compact space of the delver maze while taking on dozens of embers at a time exceptionally well.[1] She is also well accomplished in dogfighting, being able to outmaneuver and stay ahead of an enemy at extreme speeds in the vacuum of space.[9]
Cytonics
Brade is a trained cytonic. Her training of these abilities allows her to sense other cytonics,[11] hyperjump,[12] perform mental prods,[2] picture cytonic coordinates and destinations in her mind, and more. She has not demonstrated the ability to use mindblades, but her cytonic aptitude might be great enough that she has discovered this ability without training.
Perhaps most frightening of all, Brade has displayed the ability to summon a delver from the nowhere by projecting a cytonic scream within her mind into the nowhere, thus attracting the baleful attention of the beings.[9]
Winzik took Brade from her parents at an early age, probably recognizing her cytonic abilities, to use her to form the secret core of the Delver Resistance Program. On its surface, the program espoused defense of the Superiority by fielding a fleet of pilots to navigate a delver maze, reach its heart, and detonate a weapon that feeds the delver the cytonic coordinates of the human preserve on Detritus. The true purpose of this program, however, was to provide Winzik with a core of powerful cytonics, such as Brade, with which he could summon delvers at will and direct them to wipe out rebellious groups.[13]
Relationships
Winzik
“Winzik is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. Obviously, he understood our limits better than we did. ”
—Brade, defending Winzik from Spensa's verbal assault.[1]
Brade is loyal to Winzik to a fault, due to his oversight of her upbringing. He has brainwashed her into believing that he is a genius and cannot make mistakes, and that humans are vile and despicable creatures, and that he alone can save her from their savagery she would have fallen to had she stayed with her parents. Sometimes Winzik uses her to intimidate people[2] because she is a human being, and they collaborated to develop the cytonic coordinates planting weapon that was to be used on the delver.[6] Brade was also a conspirator in Winzik's planned coup, but believed that Winzik was getting rid of a valuable asset in Spensa by trying to have her killed.[5]
Spensa
“Our people? What are they to me? You seem so hung up on the idea that I should owe those humans on Detritus something, just because we share a distant heritage. My opportunities are here. Winzik wants you dead. He rightly sees you as a threat. Your only hope is to come with me, and let me persuade him you can still be of use. ”
—Brade, to Spensa, after Brade shoots down the military ship to save Spensa's life.[5]
Brade is suspicious of Spensa because she is a project of the Department of Species Integration, and its department head, Cuna, is a powerful enemy of Winzik. Brade grows more suspicious of her, thinking she is a cytonic, as Spensa grows frightened whenever the Weights and Measures hyperjumps, indicating she is seeing the delvers in the nowhere during the jump.[10] She also feels Spensa eavesdropping on her Winzik, and Tizmar's conversation outside the cafeteria and grows even more suspicious.[11]
At the beginning of her time training for the delver maze, Brade flies on her own, even after Spensa is appointed assistant flightleader.[14][15] It is only when Spensa gets the flight organized and well drilled that Brade begins to see the value of working in a cohesive unit.[16] She grows closer to Spensa and the pair became two of the best wingmates in the program, becoming indistinguishable from wingmates who had been together for decades, covering each other at the right times, moving within centimeters of each other while still having enough space, and moving in perfect sync.[15]
Brade's relationship with Spensa shatters when Spensa drops her hologram and reveals she was never Alanik, and that she is the human spy, escaped from Detritus. Ever loyal to Winzik, Brade sounds the alarm, shouting that the human spy was actually Alanik masquerading as a human, and runs to inform Winzik.[17]
The pair find each other on opposite sides of the battlefield above Detritus, when Brade succeeds in summoning a delver.[9] They meet once again after Spensa moves the delver to Starsight, and race each other to the delver's heart.[18]
Brade's final confrontation with Spensa comes when she saves Spensa's life by shoots down a military plane targeting Spensa by firing a rocket launcher. Brade, seeing Spensa's value as a cytonic and fellow human, offers to deal with Winzik and allow Spensa to join them in their coup, and become a part of Winzik's defense force and rule the galaxy with him.[5]
Flowers of Night's Last Kiss Flight
“Hey, nice work today, I think this group is finally getting it. ”
—Brade, to Spensa, complimenting Spensa's work to improve the flight.[16]
Brade enters the Delver Resistance Program with a poor opinion of flying with a flight, preferring to fly on her own and take on all of her enemies at once - a product of her arrogance and competitiveness. Brade is aloof while with her flight, not conversing with the rest of them in the jump room while waiting for the Weights and Measures to hyperjump, or on their general comm line while training at the delver maze. Gradually, she begins to see the value of being part of a flight, with structured leadership and flightmates who have different skill sets that cover her weaknesses.[16]
- Morriumur: Brade light-lances Morriumur into an asteroid during the tryout for the Delver Resistance Program[8], whether they come to terms on this bad interaction, or whether either of them remembered who each other were when they were put in the flight is unclear.
- Vapor: Brade and Vapor might have a strained relationship, due to Vapor being an agent of Cuna, Winzik's main rival. Vapor was Brade's flightleader in Flower's of Nights Last Kiss.
