I was the anon down there. So my theory is a bit too far and is ridiculous but I'll still talk about it. The theory starts off with Brandish and Karen Lilica being related. Why you ask? Well first lets start of with their looks. Both have the same color of their hair and have the same taste in clothing style and also a little bit of facial features. Some of you maybe wondering, "Why doesn't Brandish have Celestial Spirit Magic?" Well that moves us to the next part of the theory. Their mother/grandmother was a Celestial Spirit Wizard who was a servant of Layla Heartfilia in the past. Karen Lilica inherited that magic and Brandish too but she didn't favor that kind of magic because it was involved in an incident in the past. So just like Karen Lilica, she abused her spirits and as a result, she lost her contract with her Celestial Spirits. This gave way to learning a new kind of magic which she has now. Situations like this have happened in the past like what Sorano/Angel experienced. After losing her contract she gained new magic and this is the same case for Brandish so learning a completely different kind of magic is really possible. So why does Brandish show hatred to Layla? It is because of that incident in the past which made her hate Celestial Wizards. Well thats just a theory, an ANIME theory! Thanks for reading.
