Piane Cebe
she/her | female | peridot
Co-owner
Piane is open and friendly, the person you’d see casually walking up to someone alone simply to say ‘hello!’ with a tendency to wear her heart on her sleeve. While her blithe attitude means she'll occasionally cause offense without intending to and she’s a bit ignorant of the conventions of other peoples, this veena viera simply does want to bring people happiness - at least when not distracted by her odd thoughts and musings.As of January 5th, 2023, Piane is no longer offering hostess work. Her drink is still available. Details here (Brilliance main page)
Drink: Love Potion
A blend of ice, rolanberries, bananas and other fruits, with just a shot of vodka - a thick, chilled drink to soothe from the sun’s heat while heating up the night.

Gwa'ir Eptco
he/him | male | onyx
Co-owner, Host | Serving: All
A somewhat enigmatic keeper with an unusually painted history, Gwa’ir's the type who thinks a lot, often with a calm attitude and a drive for learning about others. He seems to have a bit of a melancholic side when he can’t figure things out or thinking on the things he left behind to work in this part of Eorzea. Very much the type good with numbers and presentation though, hoping to show clients his best.Rumors abound that his business outside the club is far dirtier than it appears, though...
Drink: Long Island's Iced Tea
Created by the roegadyn bartender, Long Island - a drink made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a bit of cola which gives it its color. Often served in a high glass, it looks very little like alcohol and can be hard to taste what's within, making it a somewhat deceptive drink.
(IG Item: Lemonade)

Kiht'sae Bloodmoon
he/him | male | moonstone
Host | Serving: Men | floater
A healer in profession, Kiht’sae is intelligent, witty, and very much a flirt. As life is so often weary and draining, he aims to provide aid and succor in whatever ways he is able. He’s fond of new sights and experiences, and a lover of stories.While he is more inclined toward serving men, Kiht'sae is willing to host women on a purely platonic basis.
Drink: Winter's Hearth
This sweet yet mature pick-me-up is a mixture of hot chocolate (comprised of yak’s milk and the finest heavenly kukuru powder) and red wine (mulled with heavens lemon, La Noscean oranges, and umbral-aspected spices). Served beside a premium, white chocolate bonbon.

Coral Adair
she/her | female | zircon
Hostess | Serving: All | Floater
Once the conversation gets rolling, the aspiring idol Coral loves to be a teasing chatterbox. She loves to leave people on the edge of their seats, seeing how far she can push their buttons before they succumb to her charms.
However, if you manage to flip the script on her, she's sure to give you a different kind of show than what she intended...

Giving you plenty of sweetness with that touch of tart hidden within, this alcoholic drink leaves you just wanting a little more each time, like a teasing kiss. Served in a typical tequila or margarita glass.

Hostess | Serving: All | Saturdays only
Friendly to everyone at first meeting, she tries to present a positive attitude. She is supportive and empathetic, and tries to use these skills to boost the spirits of others. Her recent history has her trying to display more confidence, but sometimes a meek, overly polite Delphrine can surface, if only for a moment. She can get distracted if the conversation turns towards one of her interests or hobbies, speaking and listening with more excitement.
Drink: Sunset Lotus
Capturing the essence of a Hingan sunset is no easy feat, but this drink will make you feel like you’re in the trade city of Kugane. Combining the traditional sake with lychee syrup, pineapple juice, grenadine, and the import known as “vodka,” this drink is sure to ease you into an evening of merriment, as any good sunset should.

she/her | female | ruby
Hostess | Serving: All | saturday only
As a former worker on a riverboat, she lived most of her youth at sea and on the backwater rivers of Eorzea.

She enjoys keeping conversations light with jokes while focusing on her guest's interests.
Drink: Shark Bite
A reimagining of the dangers hiding beneath the sea! It brings a sweet and sour profile fighting for dominance with every sip.

Senali Kavala

Hostess | Serving: All
Senali is an energetic girl - and a graduate of clown college - who loves to exchange stories with her guests.

She'll talk your ear off, regaling you with tales of her adventures, and will listen with a sparkle in her eyes as you tell her yours. She'll crack jokes with you, laugh with you, and when you're feeling down she'll give a shoulder to cry on.While willing to host men, Senali has a preference for hosting women.
Drink: Bloodmoon
The Bloodmoon is a deep red drink that tastes strongly of sweet candied apples and berries. The glass is chilled to give the drink a cool, smooth finish, and the rim coated in a layer of brown sugar.
(Drink slowly; with its high alcohol content, if you drink too fast you will get absolutely hammered.)

Leorise Fiviale
she/her | female | rose quartz
Hostess | Serving: All | Thurs. only
Will be taken off of hosting roster after Oct. 31st, 2022.A woman whose main priority is herself and hers, Leorise plays and acts cute but hides a sharp tongue and thinks little of most she meets. Despite appearing and acting like a complete socialite, she’s a competent healer and engineer bar none, and thinks strongly of her skill in these fields. Her being a hostess of Brilliance is largely her doing a favor for people dear - but that doesn't mean she has to like it.This woman always has places to go and people to see, and so only flits in every now and then......though mostly because she's also played by the person behind Piane Cebe.
Drink: Black Lie
A La Noscean Pinot Noir is infused with Doman black tea and Gridanian rose petals, adding a complexity to the wine's flavor.
