Why does Branwen have zero lore?

I have googled this, but can't find an answer. I just wondered why her lore is 0.

    Intelligence: 9. So, she has -10 penalty to lore.

    Only bards gain high lore. INT and WIS influences this, but for non-bards only very slightly. Branwen will get lore when she levels up, but not much.

    Ah thank you! I thought it was more continent on Wisdom.

    Being Stoned effects the memory? Really? I don't remember that.....

    Wizards also gain some Lore, but really Bards are the main Lore guys. Just ask Volo.

    She will eventually get above 0 in lore as she gains levels, but will never be a great identifier. You need a Bard, a smart Thief, or some Identify spells for that.

    She also digs ELO.

    The only non-bard that can somewhat reliably identify common items (+1 stuff, ammo) is Xzar on higher levels, especially if you give him all WIS tomes. He has high INT and WIS, so I assume the same is true for Dynaheir (haven't tried, but she can also dual to cleric). It does save you a few spells in midgame because he identifies the common things earlier than other NPCs, but it will never be anywhere near a bard's lore.

    Like Branwen, I too love ELO.

    She is a 'sweet talking women' and gives me a 'strange magic' oh it's so good, that healing magics special.

    There is definitely going to be a 'showdown' when we meet Viconia the 'evil woman.' It's a 'givin thing' that many players at this point drop Branwen under the 'Mr Blue Sky' and abandon her. It horrifies me that people do this, I just 'can't get it out of my head, now my whole world is gone for dead'

    These people must be from 'Xanadu' for doing this.

    ...

    I crossed a line somewhere and lost it again... Blue days Black nights... I look into the sky... And I wonder why...
