She is the bastard daughter of Ember Quinlan and Einar Danaan. Bryce was born in the year 15, V. Bryce was raised by Ember and her stepfather Randall Silago , who taught her self-defense and how to handle weapons, especially guns. Bryce's mother was very protective of her and did not want Bryce to move from her hometown, Nidaros , to Lunathion.
Growing up, Bryce was somewhat of an outcast amongst her peers. This was largely due to her Fae heritage, considering Nidaros is mostly populated by humans. At age five, she managed to collect Jelly Jubilee , a highly coveted toy from The Starlight Fancy franchise which were the number one toys on every girl's Winter Solstice wish list.
Ember left Nidaros for the first time in years to buy Jelly Jubilee from one of the big towns two hours away. This served as a means for Bryce to finally connect with other kids, she showed them the toy at school and was instantly accepted.
The toy is of significant emotional value to Bryce; Jelly Jubilee's half- pegasus , half-unicorn heritage served as a self-esteem boost to Bryce. Although the toy differed greatly from the other horses in the franchise, it was still the most valuable. Twelve years ago, when Bryce was thirteen, Ember had a sudden change of heart about her meeting her father and got in contact with him. Documents showed up a few weeks later granting Bryce civitas status in exchange for her declaring allegiance to the House of Sky and Breath.
Bryce was hesitant, but Ember encouraged her to do it. Bryce soon visited her father for the first time at his villa in Five Roses. Einar insisted the visit be discreet. This was also the first time she met her half-brother Ruhn Danaan , and they quickly became close. Her visit to her father, however, was less successful and her hopes of having a relationship with him were dashed by his vindictive personality and behavior towards her. The Autumn King refused to acknowledge her until her traditional visit to the Oracle.
