Branded are generally very similar in appearance to [[beorc]]. In fact, they don't show any of the distinct characteristics of a laguz. The most obvious trait of a branded is the mark they bear on their skin, the placement of which differs among members of the race. For example, [[Micaiah]] and her grandmother [[Misaha]] both show their mark on their right hands, but [[Soren]] and [[Stefan]] refer to their marks as being on their foreheads, and [[Zelgius]]' brand can be seen on his back. The shape of the brand seems to differ depending on the tribe of the laguz ancestor. Micaiah and Misaha's brands are the same shape, indicating their [[heron]] ancestor, [[Lehran]]. Soren's is different, indicating his [[dragon]] heritage. Zelgius' mark appears to be different from the two previously mentioned, and probably indicates his laguz ancestor was either a [[hawk]] or a [[raven]]. Many branded cover up their marks with pieces of clothing, if they are able, to try and conceal their heritage. | Branded are generally very similar in appearance to [[beorc]].

In addition, Branded age slower than normal beorc. This is less noticeable during childhood, but eventually, the difference in age becomes quite apparent. The rate slows differently depending on the type of laguz blood the person has. Branded with dragon ancestors, for example, age much slower than Branded with any other type of blood. | In addition, Branded age slower than normal beorc.

Because of all the persecution Branded face, many live reclusive or nomadic lives. They hide among the beorc, covering their brands and not getting close to anyone. It's nearly impossible for Branded to live with laguz, because the laguz have a certain instinct for identifying them. Some laguz can sense Branded more easily than others, and the ones that can't quickly catch on. The laguz then treat the Branded as if they don't exist, referring to them as "parentless", and denying that laguz blood flows in their veins. | Because of all the persecution Branded face, many live reclusive or nomadic lives.

Branded also have a knack for identifying each other, as does [[Yune]] (and presumably [[Ashera]]). [[Stefan]] very easily identifies [[Soren]] as Branded, and [[Soren]] and [[Micaiah]] recognize each other's heritage. Yune identifies all three as something she's never seen before, at first thinking Micaiah was the only one in existence. | Branded also have a knack for identifying each other, as does [[Yune]] (and presumably [[Ashera]]).

Branded are known for having special powers that normal beorc don't have. This is typically affected by the type of laguz blood given by their ancestors. Beast tribe blood can contribute to strength, while bird tribe blood may contribute to speed, and heron blood to magical powers. Not much is known of these powers, other than they are the main factor contributing to Branded hatred among beorc. | Branded are known for having special powers that normal beorc don't have.
