Her hair is a golden brown, but tends to get lighter when she's been in the sun for extended periods of time. The woman's hazel eyes hold a gentle look, even when she gets angry.Her face is lean with strong cheek bones. Briar usually wears her hair down and untied, unless she is working. As a healer, she finds it best to put it in a tight braid, or a high bun. She doesn't care too much about fashion, but does enjoy color in her wardrobe.This witch likes to look tidy all the time, because of her upbringing.

Briar watched her best friend drown to death when she was six. She's never gotten over it. When she was in school, she almost got sick every time she saw the back lake, and did everything she could to avoid it. Briar actually fainted when she took the boat across to Hogwarts. She had tried to be brave, but it was dark, and the memory of her friend screaming for help flooded her memory. erised: Her mother to be happy for her. Briar was close to the woman before her parents found out about her liking Gabriel. It tore their relationship apart, and she longs to have it mended. overall personality: Like most people with her ravenclaw background, Briar has strong desire to seek knowledge. Anytime she has a free moment, a book can be found in her hands. Usually quiet, she takes joy in listening to those around her. To her, its another form of gaining knowledge. Many people are surprised when she joins a conversation, because she often makes a witty comment. Briar enjoys laughter, and making others happy. One wouldn't describe her as shy, but she has only a select group of true friends. This is because she is very selective about her company, another trait that came from her background. If you get to know her, she will open herself to you without reservation. Briar sees no point in exaggerating the truth, or muddling with the facts. If you want an honest opinion, she's your woman. Briar has always had a compassionate nature, and enjoyed taking care of others. She often places others needs above her own. This is especially true of her husband and children. The brown haired woman likes to know whats happening in the lives of her family. She's very observant and can usually tell when something is not right. When people are hurting, she is their source of comfort. She has often stayed after her shifts at Mungo's to visit those without family, or friends. Her heart brakes for them, but she does her best to keep smiling. history your family and such parents: William and Abigail Pierce siblings: Lionel,37 pets: 1 dog, 1 owl born: Croydon, London/England overall history:It was a bright sunny afternoon, when Abigail Pierce began laboring with her second child. Her son had been born two and a half years earlier, and it had not gone well. As with so many couples from Pierce's background, she had been told who she would marry, and was expected to accept that choice gracefully. William was handsome, and had done his best to be attentive to his intended. Abigail was resistant to his charms, because she hated the idea of marrying because someone else had decided she would. The night of their wedding, the young bride of nineteen locked herself in the guestroom of her new home. William was frustrated, but he didn't bother her. When evening came the next day, he told her that they needed to make their union more official. Abigail told him that she was too tired, and the man was perplexed. He told her that they couldn't wait forever, and Abby stated to yell at her husband. She told him that she hated him, and that she would never do anything with him, aside from sit in his house. Thinking the girl was crazy, he apparated to a local pub, where eventually he found himself completely taken over with drink. William came home to find his wife in the guest bedroom once again, with the door closed. When he turned the knob, it was locked. After shouting at his wife to open the door, he struck it hard with his hands, The woman merely told him to leave her alone. Unfortunately for the two of them Will's frustration and anger was magnified by the consumption of far too much liquor. He pushed open the door, and took his wife by force. Nine months later, his son was born. It was a difficult pregnancy, and a very emotional one for the newlyweds. Abigail couldn't get over what William had done, and William became detached. He couldn't bring himself to believe what he had done. It was a miracle that the two had not found a way to divorce each other after what had happened, but what was even more of a miracle was the fact that Abigail allowed her husband to do what he wanted with her body again. It was consensual from that point on, and Abby longed for a daughter. Two and a half years went by before she got her wish. The couple named their daughter Briar Elizabeth, and while William disregarded the child because it was a girl, Abigail doted on her, and gave her all the love she had to give. Briar grew up in a wealthy household, that believed they were Superior to others. Being purebloods, they kept to an inner circle of friends, if one would call that sort of relationship, a friendly one. Most of the people Briar were exposed to were Slytherins, but she knew a few Ravenclaws. She had received her letter like her brother a few years before, and it was no surprise to anyone. Briar was a quiet child growing up, and when she was getting ready to go off to school, she was worried she'd be alone. She'd never been very good with social interaction, unless she knew the person very well. When Briar got on the train for school, she sat in the compartment with her best friend, Pearl. Pearl was the daughter of one of Williams colleges, and spent a lot of time at the Pierce home when the two fathers were away on business. Pearl's mum had been killed in a tragic potions accident. Briar's own mother felt sorry for the young girl, and treated her like her own. Since Briar didn't have a sister of her own, she grew very attached to Pearl. Crossing the lake to Hogwarts in her first year was the biggest challenge Briar ever faced. Since she was six, the girl had avoided large bodies of water whenever possible. Having seen a friend drown to death, Briar had a strong fear of drowning. The fear was so paralizing to her that she fainted shortly after boarding the boat. The brown haired eleven year old spent her first night at Hogwarts with a caring yet stern witch by the name of Madam Pomfrey. While Briar didn't know it at the time, this was something that set her future in motion. Briar was sorted into Ravenclaw house late that night, and Madam Pomfrey stayed by her side to comfort her. Briar became inquisitive about the duties of the older woman, and fell asleep only after Pomfrey had given her something to calm her down. From then on, when Briar wasn't in the library, or her common room studying, she would visit the hospital wing. She offered help to Madam Pomfrey whenever she was allowed and expressed an interest in becoming a healer. Eventually Briar became friends with a few others aside from Pearl. One of those friends was Gabriel Perry. Briar found him to be very good company, and by her third year, she stared to realized she thought of him as more than a tutor in Transfiguration. Thinking that her good friend would be wierded out by her admiring feelings, the girl never said anything. To her delight, and shock, Gabe asked her out. She tried not to seem as eager as she felt. The two became an official couple shortly after that, and remained together through their final years. Briar never told her family about Gabriel because she knew what they'd say. Girls like Briar just didn't get involved with anything less than the best, and to her family, the best was pureblood elites. Families were so obsessed with keeping the blood pure that they were doing anything to ensure it. While arranged marriages had been less dominant, within the community, many families were partnering up with others like their own to keep out tainted blood. After graduation, Gabrial went off to Harvard, and Briar was left alone. She missed him terribly, but continued to owl him everyday, sometimes twice a day, just because she missed him. When Brair was younger, she'd never given much thought to the parties she was forced to attend. It wasn't until her eighteenth birthday that she realized just what her parents were plotting, with so many other concerned parents. The Ministy parties, and holiday affairs were nothing more than a chance for parents of like minded views to push their children on someone elses. Mothers would shove their sons to the ladies, and Fathers would shove thier daughters to the gentlemen. Briar however realized that no all men were gentlemen. When she was twenty years old, her father called her into his study for a serious conversation. You're getting married the graying man said flatly. Naturally this came as a complete shock to Briar who had been focusing all her energy into her internships as a healer. She had hoped Gabe would ask her to marry him at some point, but she worried her family might drive him away. Briar asked her father who she was supposedly marrying, and was completely stunned to hear the name that her father spoke. Her supposed future husband was a well known skirt chaser, and it made Briar angry to think this is what her parents had decided. Deep down she knew her mum would be against it, but that she was too passive now to go against her husband. Briar ran from the room in tears, and her father told her she was overreacting. As the young woman shed hot tears into her pillow, she heard a light knock on her door. It was Abigail, her mother. The gentle woman comforted her only daughter, before telling her to dress up. Tonight there was a ministry ball honoring the bored of goveners. Abby assured her daughter that a little fun might sooth her heart ache. Unconvinced, Briar agreed with her mother, and got ready for the event. As usual, the whole affair was a bore to Briar, and she began her search for the library. Books were very useful things. They broadened ones mind, and allowed people to escape from this world into another. Smiling as she found her destination, she hadn't noticed she was being followed. Her future fiance had seen her walking off by herself, and saw the perect oppertunity to know his bride to be. Briar sat on the couch, book in hand, and smiled as she opened the hard cover. What happened next is something she has blocked from her mind. She can only remember her brothers booming voice,and the look on her father's face when he came into the room. After that night, Briar never spoke to her father again, and avoided him whenever possible. A few summers later, she sat completely silent while her father yelled at her about a piece of filth called Perry. It touched her heart to know Gabriel had asked permission to marry her.While her father brooded and shouted pacing around the room, Briar was making plans. If her parents weren't going to let her be with the one man who'd lay down his life for hers, than they didn't need to call her family. Briar went to visit Gabriel and his family over Christmas holiday. It was then that Gabriel proposed and she accepted his offer. She sent an owl to her mother, to let her know of the situation. Ten munuets later, a howler arrived from her father, informing her that she was dead to him now, and should not bother coming to collect her things because he would incinerate the lot of them. Luckily for Briar, her mother cared enough to salvage some of her things, and had them sent to her. Hopping that her father would overcome his irrational hatred of wizards and witches like Gabrial, she proceeded with the wedding plans. it pained her that her mother, whom she'd been so close to, refused to help her with her own wedding. Gabriel's mother was a very kind woman, and enjoyed helping Brair with all the arrangements. That experience brought them even closer together than they'd been before. There was a small hope deep down within Briar that her parents would come to her wedding and give thier blessings. Her brother came, but he didn't speak to her, and it broke her heart. After saying her goodbyes to the people who came, Briar cried into the loving arms of her now husband. After their honeymoon, Briar moved in with Gabriel and lived in the US, receiving training through owls, and packages for her intended job as a healer. A year after they were married and settled in, Briar gave birth to a healthy baby girl, which the couple named Grace. When Grace was almost three, Gabrial finished his studies, and made plans to return to England with his wife and daughter. As much as Briar had enjoyed her home in the US, she was eager to return to the country of her birth. Once they returned they settled in Hogsemde, and in the years following, Gabriel became a Professor at Hogwarts, while Briar became the healer, and nurtured her passion for caring for others. When thier daughter turned five, the couple was blessed again with a child. It was a boy, and they named him Maximillion. They called him Max, and soon learned that the names of their children fit each of them very well. The little family enjoyed a relativity quiet live for a few years, until the summer of 1995, when Briar learned along with her husband that the Dark Lord was returning to power, and gaining followers. TO protect his family, Gabriel joined the order of the pheonix. Briar had wanted to do the same, but she knew with two younger children, it wouldn't be wise. The woman couldn't bare the idea of loosing her husband, but she knew she couldn't risk her children loosing two parents either, so she worried over her husband in quiet unrest, hoping that one day she would wake up and realize the darkness that loomed over the wizarding world was nothing more than a bad dream. now for the person behind the character alias:Brandy age: 28 experience:10+ years where'd you find us?: I was already here :P anything to add?: I play Daphne Greengrass lastly the roleplay sample An all too familiar voice, broke into the thoughts of Miss. Prewett, and she looked up to see Arthur. Her boyfriend was always apologizing, or at least it seemed that way, but Molly didn't mind. After all, when someone else apologized, it meant they were in the wrong, which took the blame away from her. Not that she got into a terrible about of trouble,or that she did anything to be blamed for in the first place, still it was nice. Well, seeing Arthur might be looked at as troublesome, by her brother Fabian, but that was just silly. She wished those two could be friends, like they used to. What was the big deal about her dating Arthur anyway? Fabian should be happy that she loved someone he'd known as long as he had. Molly hadn't always seen Arthur as boyfriend material. Really now, how could she be with someone who was so interested in muggles. The red haired girl had never had a problem with muggles, or those of her housemates that were not born to magical parents. She just didn't understand them. To be truthful, she didn't want to bother understanding them. Eventually Arthur won her over, with his charm, and desire to impress. She told him not to tell her brothers, but that was just because she knew them all to well. While today Fabian was firm, in saying he was mad, because it had been kept from him, Molly knew otherwise. He might have been mad, but he would have over reacted either way. Molly's older brothers cared a great deal for her, but Fabian seemed to go a little over bored at times. The sixth year offered Arthur, a smile, and stood up to greet Arthur. Moving to hug him, she shook her head. "No, it's fine. It's nice of you to do that." Molly said cheerfully. With her big brown eyes, she looked into Arthur's, and her expression gave away more than her words. It wasn't that she was upset about having to wait for him, no, it was more that she'd been rather nervous, in thinking about how to present her case. Maybe she could get Arthur not to join, or if nothing else, maybe he would side with her, on the matter of her joining the order. She'd have to wait another year, before she'd be allowed in, but if it meant being with Arthur, it would be worth it. She could hardly imagine this society getting anything accomplished with a trio of gingers constantly fighting, and being bitter, over her lover for Arthur. Licking her lips once, she turned her gaze to the floor for a moment. "I need to talk to you." she said in a more serious tone. For the most part, her conversations with Arthur were relatively happy. They had their fights here and there, but all couples did.She was hoping that this particular discussion could be kept as that. A discussion. She has a case to present, and feelings to vent. She wanted Arthur to see where she was coming from in this, and hoped that could be done without her getting agitated. Overall, Molly was a cheerful young woman. She wasn't ill tempered, unless you were talking about something that truly annoyed her. Looking back up to face Arthur, she gave him a hesitant smile. "You love me right?" she asked, with an innocent expression. Molly had some time, before Arthur had appeared, to think about a tactic. One thought had crossed her mind, and that was how much Arthur truly loved her. She knew he did, and maybe that was enough. Perhaps if she simply asked him not to join the order, because she feared something would happen to him, he wouldn't. Of course, that idea was pretty far fetched, but it was all she had, at least for now.
