Here is where I will have a paragraph describing Brianna's appearance, personality, and, perhaps, her usual tactics. A DM should be able to take this and have a fully usable NPC.

Brianna CR 21
Female Tiefling Rogue 2/Swashbuckler 2/Bard 3/Druid 3/Fochlucan Lyrist 10/Plane Dancer 1
N Medium outsider (native)
Init +12; Senses darkvison 60'; Listen +19, Spot +17
Languages Mulhorandi, Common, Elvish, Undercommon, Druidic, Sylvan, Celestial, Abyssal, Infernal, Drow, Ancient Khemitian, Draconic, Auran, tongues (bard spell), telepathy (Brianna's circlet of insight)
Height 5 ft. 7 in., weight 135 lb., age 30, XP 211,469 (1,469).

Bardic Music: Brianna can use her song or poetics to produce magical effects on those around her. She can use any combination of the following effects, 14 times per day.

Countersong (Su): Brianna can counter magical effects that depend on sound by making a Perform check at +37 (+42 if using Cli lyre) for each round of countersong. Any creature within 30 feet of her who is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use her Perform check result in place of his or her saving throw if desired. Countersong lasts for 10 rounds.

Fascinate (Sp): Brianna can cause up to four creatures within 90 feet that can see and hear her to become fascinated with her. Brianna's Perform check at +37 (+42 if using Cli lyre) result is the DC for the opponent's Will save. Any obvious threat breaks the effect. Fascination lasts up to 11 rounds. This is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.

Inspire Courage (Su): Allies who can hear Brianna receive a +3 morale bonus to saves against charm and fear effects and a +3 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. The effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the song and for 5 rounds thereafter. This is a mind-affecting ability

Inspire Competence (Su): An ally within 30 feet who can see and hear Brianna gets a +2 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill for as long as he or she can hear the music, to a maximum of 2 minutes. This is a mind-affecting ability.

Suggestion (Sp): Brianna can make a suggestion (as the spell) to a creature she has already fascinated. A Will save with a DC of 31 (DC 36 if using the Cli lyre) negates the effect. Using suggestion on a fascinated creature does not count as against Brianna's daily usage of Bardic Music effects. This is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting, language-dependent ability.

Inspire Greatness (Su): Up to two allies within 30 feet (including herself) who can hear Brianna sing receive 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), the commensurate number of temporary hit points (apply Constitution modifier, if any to these bonus Hit Dice), a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves. The effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the song and for 5 rounds thereafter. This is a mind-affecting ability.

Song of Freedom (Sp): Brianna can use music or poetics to create an effect equivalent to the break enchantment spell (caster level equals her bard level). Using this ability requires 1 minute of uninterrupted concentration and music, and it functions on a single target within 30 feet. Brianna can't use song of freedom on herself.

Evasion (Ex): If exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, Brianna takes no damage with a successful saving throw.

Nature Sense (Ex): Brianna gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.

Grace (Ex): Brianna gains a +1 competence bonus on Reflex saves.

Sneak Attack: If Brianna's opponent is ever denied his Dexterity bonus to AC, or if Brianna flanks him, she does an extra 1d6 damage on each attack.

Tiefling traits: +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma (included in listed statistics); Cold, electricity, and fire resistance 5; Spell-like abilities 1/day—darkness as a sorceress of her character level; darkvision up to 60 feet; +2 racial bonus on Bluff and Hide checks (already figured into the statistics given above); Level adjustment +1.

Trackless Step (Ex): Brianna leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked.

Trap Sense (Ex): Brianna receives a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by traps and a +1 bonus on Reflex saves to avoid traps.

Trapfinding: Brianna can use the Search skill to find traps with Search DCs higher than 20, and the Disable Device skill to disarm magical traps.

Unbound: Brianna's Druid oaths have been relaxed, allowing her to wear light metal armor with no loss of spellcasting, supernatural, or spell-like abilities. She also suffers no experience point penalty for multiclassing.

Wild Empathy (Ex): Brianna can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. She rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.
The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, Brianna and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
Brianna can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a -4 penalty on the check.

Woodland Stride (Ex): Brianna can move through natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain at her normal speed and without damage or other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her.

This pair of elegant bracers is crafted from green leather with mithril tracery that looks like vines. Tiny, leaf-shaped plates of silver branch off the mithril to create a glimmering pattern.

These bracers grant a +2 competence bonus on initiative checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.

Additionally, the bracers can be activated three times a day as a free action to gain one additional attack with any weapon you are holding, as long as you have already used the full attack action this round. This attack is made at your full attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to your situation. This effect is not cumulative with any other effect that grants am extra attack when making a full attack, such as the Rapid Shot feat, a speed weapon, or the haste spell.

Whip of Webs (MIC 63)

Complex strands of tightly braided spider webs have been woven together to create this unusual whip. Tiny, multilegged black shapes skitter up and down its length, hiding among its countless knots.

Three times a day, after a successful strike with this +1 whip, Brianna can activate it to wrap the target in a web of tough, leathery filaments. The creature is entangled as if by a net for 3 rounds or until it escapes. Multiple strikes by a whip of webs aren't cumulative.

This powerful spell is initiated with a single word. When this spell is cast, a fantastic sound of organ music issues from the caster. This sound automatically dispels any silence spells in the area of effect. The nearly deafening music has no effect on the caster, but to all other creatures in the area the following effects occur:

• All creatures in the area levitate into the air at a speed of 5 feet. A Will saving throw negates the effect, but creatures must make new Will saving throws each round they remain in the area of effect to resist levitation. A levitating creature cannot move, apart from the uncontrollable ascent - even flight is powerless to escape the levitation unless the affected creature has freedom of movement in effect. Teleportation can allow escape as well.
• Levitating victims of this spell must make a new Will saving throw at the start of their turn to resist succumbing to a delusional vision of the sky or ceiling above peeling away to reveal the heavens, complete with winged angelic beings that appear to welcome the victims with open arms. A character that succumbs to the powerful illusion can take no actions and is considered helpless.
• Three rounds into the spell's duration, the sound of music is deafening - all creatures in the area (save the caster) are automatically deafened for the remaining duration.
