“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]
