-->-- ''From the summary.''


''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4772320/1/New-Reality New Reality]]'' by noa748 is a VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia {{Fanfic}} about the exploits of SelfInsert Brittany Furness, who finds herself trapped in Aselia and targeted by the main antagonist for the ever-sinister Angelus Project. Much better than it sounds; this particular self insert offers up realistically portrayed characters and a hearty helping of character development. Brittany is likable, believable, and reasonably flawed. Don't expect this chick to show up the main characters anytime soon.

-->'''Brittany:''' Fan-freakin'-tastic. So [[IKnowYouKnowIknow you know that I know...do you how I know? Do you know that I know that you know-]]
-->'''Kratos:''' Enough. If you're trying to conceal your nervousness, you're doing a terrible job of it.
-->'''Brittany:''' ...Sorry. But really...what tipped you off?
-->'''Kratos:''' Hmph. Were I to list everything, this would take all night.

* AltumVidetur: The enscription on Kerberos is supposedly this. Brit notes Latin is an equivalent of Angelic in Aselia.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[spoiler:Main/{{In-Universe}} example. Yggdrasill kidnapped Brittany by using Eternal Sword to invade Earth]]

* CantHoldHerLiquor: Main/{{Deconstructed}}. A simple drinking party finally makes Brit's tongue loose. She indirectly accused Zelos as the cause of her recent kidnapping. Zelos doesn't take it well. At all.

* AscendedFangirl: Before all this mess happened to her, Brit used to play TalesOfSymphonia, even beaten it [[UpToEleven four times]] already.

* PowerOfTrust: Following the TalesSeries' tradition, Brit has to learn to trust others with her secrets to gain their complete trusts back.

* BadDreams: Brit experiences being chased by [[SilentHill Pyramid Head]] (of all things) in her dream before the group raids Asgard Human Ranch.

* DetachedSleeves: As part of Brit's outfit.
