Physical Description: Athletic build of a fighter, and a Vila. She has super wavey, yet small ringlet-like curls in her hair, which is cut short to just barely longer than chin length. It is a slanted cut, which gets shorter as it reaches to the back of her head. Her hair is a vivid purple colour with a red streak on the right side where most of her hair falls. The part in her hair is over her left eye, which makes the right side of her head thicker with hair. Her eyes are a bright violet, which often scare people, especially those living in her neighbourhood. Her ears sometimes change and look like flicked back super thin cat or wolf ears that almost look like feathers sticking out of the side of her head. She often wears a hat around her neighbourhood to hide her ears in case they change, as her parents don’t want them to know they’re not mortal humans. She has pale skin along with defined cheekbones and a longer heart-shaped face from her Slavic and Celtic ancestors. She wears whatever is comfortable, not really having preference to any one style of clothing. Her clothes are very generic because she finds her hair stands out enough as is. She really wears whatever she’s in the mood for and doesn’t honestly care to get dressed up. She is covered in scars, found all over her body. A beer bottle scar over her right hip and stomach looking like a comet, a jagged one on her lower back looking like a lightning bolt, one on her left thigh that looks like a cat on fire, one inside her left wrist that looks like winding vines that sprout from the base of her hand and run up her arm to her elbow, small sunbursts on the back of her right knuckles, a cross on the base of her neck that runs along her back and crosses over the new wound from having a stiletto dragged down her back, a sunburst scar from stilettos in each of her thighs, and five little stab wounds on her back from when she’d been attacked by a knife, and three on her front, just under her ribs.

Race: Part Slavic Vila and part Celtic Fireball Cat. Her mother is a Slavic weather-controlling Vila that can take on the shape of a wolf or a beautiful woman, Brynn can therefore take on the shape of a wolf, and is a woman. Brynn’s father is a Celtic Cat that can shape-shift into a fireball, thus giving Brynn the ability to shape-shift into a cat or a fireball. However, because Brynn is only half Celtic Fireball Cat, she can’t fully turn into a fireball. She can, however, be aflame whenever she wants, as a cat, wolf, or human. She has control over fire when she creates it, and can control the weather like her mother. Being young and not enjoying lessons that much she hasn’t had many and therefore has weak control of her weather-witching meaning the weather can sometimes reflect her moods.

Story: Brynna’s family decided they would be okay living in a normal neighbourhood with a lot of other young parents, so they had Brynna in a middle class suburban area of town with a scattered number of rich brats throughout their 6 blocks by 6 blocks of neighbourhood. They were actually running from their families who disapproved of their marriage, but when they had Brynna, their child, they simply ignored the two and focused on Brynna. The two sides of grandparents fought over her constantly, so she’s been the center of much quarrel, becoming hated by her cousins and aunts and uncles alike. Her parents, Aodan and Caelia love her dearly and have doted on her her entire life. However, they also know the suffocating burden of family, and let her do as she pleases for the most part. They try not to pressure her into anything, except for Wormwood, etiquette classes, piano lessons and dance lessons, and they try to protect her from their families when they can.

On her father’s side of the family, the Talan side, they've taught her how to fight, how to shape-shift, and how to control her fire. Fire being much more agreeable than weather, she was able to control this rather easily and is considered a bit of a genius on the Talan side of the family. They spoil her and try to drag her on family trips and take her out for expensive meals and buy her expensive gifts, but she has a tendency for returning gifts she doesn’t like, and her parents try and get her excused from as many outings as they can. Aodan has 3 brothers, each of whom have kids. His brothers think that their parents are wasting their money on Brynna, and their kids are mostly impassive and ignore Brynna’s existence.

On her mother’s side of the family, the Wallaschek side, they’ve taught her to dance beautiful Vila dances and are trying to teach her weather-control still. She picked up the shape-shifting rather easily, along with the dance and the etiquette, but her weather-control is still mediocre. However, it is better than some of her cousins who are the same age or older, so they praise her as well. Not to be out-done by the Talan’s they try to take her out and give her gifts and spoil her rotten in general. Caelia has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. The brothers rather like Brynna, actually, but the sisters hate her and are jealous of her looks and her grandparents attention to her. Of the cousins, most of the boys like to fight with her and the girls all hate her and like to compete in dancing against her.

Every year it is a competition to see how many presents Brynna sends back. Whichever side receives more, loses a holiday of choice to the other side. So they are not allowed to see Brynna on that holiday.

Despite her dysfunctional extended family, and overall rejection by children her own age, Brynna has grown up pretty normal. Home-schooled by her parents her entire life, she loves them and has always obeyed them for the few things they ask of her. She is generally polite and somewhat cold upon first meeting, but she is a loyal friend that will do anything for those she considers her friends. She has a tendency to be stubborn and strong-natured with an overall fiery personality, but she is truly kind at heart. With things she is unsure of, Brynna takes on a rather flippant attitude, and simply brushes off things she doesn’t like. Despite her strong nature, Brynna is a bit of a cry baby and sometimes relies too much on what others think. She is always trying to impress her family, for she just wants to be loved and accepted, but has also come to the realization, later in life, that her family will never truly love her unless they own her.

When Brynna aced her eighth grade exams, her parents began looking into highschools, wanting her to have the experience of going to school and interacting with kids her own age. They chose Wormwood because it wasn’t so far from home as the other supernatural high schools. They went to an information meeting and came back with the number of the Bonecos’. Arranging a meeting of their children, who were the same age, they had each other over for meals. Upon first meeting, Victor and Brynna disliked each other. To both children’s horror, they were introduced using their full names. Since then, Victor has called her Val, which she hates, and she has called him Vicky, which he hates. On the first day at the Talan’s Victor pushed Brynna down the stairs. On the second day at the Bonecos, Brynna broke his pushing arm. It was the start of a hateful relationship.

When their parents finally realized how much they hated each other, they were locked in a closet and told to figure something out, because they weren’t allowed to hate each other. Thus began the twisted love-hate relationship called frenemies. In front of their parents they became sweet and charming, usually sending biting and scathing comments at each other disguised as compliments, and at school they were competitively in hate with each other. They are always trying to get better marks in their classes and constantly bickering when they see each other, so they try to avoid each other at all costs.

Brynna has been to a few parties with some of her Wormwood friends, she’s had a boyfriend here and there, and she’s had time to explore the wonders of boy-girl relations of the sexual kind. She enjoys a monthly one night stand to sate her sexual interests, but is otherwise an impassive person. It only takes certain buttons to rile her up, but when she does she becomes a violent, uncontrollable, weather-wielding, shape-shifting, pyromaniacal, fighting machine. So don’t get in her way.

*Side Note: Brynna has been warned never to show any of her powers to the children in her neighbourhood. She is to keep them hidden at all costs. Because this is one of the few strict demands that her parents have given her, she will defend it at all costs, (stupidly) even if it means
