It's a lioness with a crown and a rose. I have a long, thick scar on my right forearm from where I got sliced open by a sword in my first year in training, and another scar on my abdomen from where a spear pierced me. I get quite competitive. Was nothing, really. Merely a flesh wound." [i]Brynn smirks[/i]. "As far as piercings go, I took all my piercings out once I began taking my training seriously. Used to have my nose, lower lip and ears pierced."
[i][color=abab84]Personal Style:[/color][/i] She has a sort of carefree, "badass" grunge/greaser style she likes to sport around.

Depends on the day she's having. She prefers boots and high-top canvas shoes with her jeans, but in shorts, she would prefer sandals or completely barefoot. Her hair is almost always down, except when she is training/battling She ties it up in a tight bun. Every now and again Brynn will put on makeup but tends to leave it off and go with a more natural look. Besides, who has time to put make-up on when they're busy kicking ass? Plus, putting makeup on just to go into battle is absolutely pointless, [i]amirite[/i]?[/indent]

[indent]Brynn, to most, has this "I'm better than you" vibe about her, which those who think that tend to believe it's because she's Hera's daughter. Like one of those snot-nosed popular brats in high school who thinks everyone is beneath her. Quite the opposite in Brynn's case, except she [i]does[/i] have a serious case of [b]RBF[/b]. Brynn is very much about helping others [i]way[/i] before she even thinks of herself, she just tends to be super competitive when it comes to physical training. She tries not to gloat, but sometimes she can't help it. She knows she's good at what she does, but she does like to help others out and give them pointers, especially the newer campers. She may only be 17, but she kind of acts like the Mother Hen among her friends. She loves working with others but doesn't mind being a lone wolf , either. Although most of the time that's not so, considering her and her best friend Zoey spend quite a bit of time together. If you really get to know Brynn, she tends to be quite sarcastic. You'll know she's comfortable with you when she starts insulting you. It's all love, so don't take it personal. She's loyal to a fault and will do anything and everything in her power to protect her friends and loved ones.[/indent]
[color=abab84][sub][b]History[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]Brynn's coming to be was anything short of a miracle.. I mean, as are any of Hera's children. Bronwyn was birthed from the goddess herself, and some short time after she was brought into being, was completely given up to a man named [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ba/4c/3d/ba4c3d22c8ce7c110d8a9f5eea836a8c.jpg]Vernon Knowles[/url]. Hera didn't feel Zeus would be very accepting of her child born outside of their marriage (although he had several, himself), so she instead gave Brynn to her father. Vern grew up in Oregon but shortly after reaching manhood he fled to the city streets of Brooklyn to take up work, and spend many more years living there. Construction was flourishing at the time, and it seemed he was never out of work. Hardly had any downtime, but Vern knew he'd eventually have to make time in order to someday start a family of his own. Neither of Brynn's parents have opened up to her about how they met, or how long they'd seen each other before she was conceived. Hera and Vern's relationship after Brynn's birth became quite distant, and after Vern took over care for Bronwyn, the two hardly ever heard from the goddess at all. He'd go on to tell his family members that he'd decided to adopt a child rather than waste time trying to explain the real story. As if anyone would believe him, anyway.

Vern spent the first few years raising Brynn on his own. As Brynn grew, her abilities began to show through. At the young age of 5, just on the cusp of her 6th birthday, Brynn's father sent her away to the camp in New York to begin her training. Being a young child, Brynn didn't take to it too well the first summer. Not only did she not understand why she had been sent there in the first place, but it was also the fact she was nearly killed upon entering the camp that had her freaked out. A manticore chased her into camp. Her small legs, at the time, couldn't carry her very far, leaving the manticore with the ability to swipe her across her back with its gnarly claws. A satyr and a few older campers (Brynn's best guy friend, Greyson Davies, being one of them) heard her screams and came out to fight off the beast, helping her into the safety of the camp. After she was treated for her wounds and calmed down, Brynn was told of who she was and where she came from, and where she was for the summer. Although her mother claimed her right away, upon arriving, she did not get to meet her. Much to young Brynn's disappointment.

She returned home for the school year, and the following year came back with a vengeance to learn all that she could and make her daddy proud. And her mother, Hera, as well. Brynn grew to hold no ill-will towards her mother after learning the reasons why she had to stay away. Brynn spent 11 years going to camp during the summers until the summer of 2017. It was time to head off back to camp, and she was as excited as ever. Unbeknownst to Brynn, she had been being hunted for several weeks prior. Vern was getting their truck ready to make the trip down to camp when they were attacked by a fairly large cyclops. Unfortunately, there's no happy ending to this story. Without going into too much detail, Brynn's father didn't make it out alive. He sacrificed himself for his daughter's life, and managed to allow her to escape. Luckily by this age, Vern had taught her how to properly drive and she did just that, all the way to the Rockies where her best friend said he'd gone off to. She didn't think it was wise to go exactly where she'd be expected to go, so she headed up to join OA.

A fire had somehow been started in their home, so it wasn't very hard to have faked her death. She's since stayed at camp and has made a year-round home out of it. Since her father's death, her training has become more intense and she in herself has become more fierce. She focuses hard on her studies, as well. With Greyson being there to help aid her, it's been quite easy for her to fall in with the rest of the crowd. Brynn hopes to make the rest of her time here at OA go by quickly. She's eager to get out into the world and make a name for herself in the world of demi-gods.[/indent]
[Indent]Side Note: In Brynn's escape from the cyclops, she managed to save her dad's old dog [url=https://www.thesprucepets.com/thmb/yBAvhJ72952EMnB7kD7AAjW5jek=/450x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/GettyImages-515672176-5afdf872c5542e00367bd69f.jpg]Duke[/url]. She brought him with her to OA. He doesn't really do much, and isn't very active. So most of the time it's like he's not even there, really.[/indent]

[indent]Hera, goddess of motherhood, marriage, familial love, and women.[/indent]
[color=#abab84][sub][b]Relationship With Godly Parent[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]Brynn and her mother Hera are decently close. She often sees her mother, when she is available.. however she tries to visit with her mom when Zeus isn't around. The King of the gods, her mother's husband, makes Brynn uncomfortable.[/indent]
[color=#abab84][sub][b]Demigod Abilities[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]♛ She has the ability of heightened strength.
♛ She has the power to preserve health of women, including protect a woman from death during childbirth.
♛ Although it's not something she gained from her mother, Brynn has trained well-enough over the years that she's become quite experienced with a range of weapons. She's one hell of a fighter, and a more than worthy adversary.[/indent][center][img]https://media2.giphy.com/media/5YRNpxPMsumU8/source.gif[/img]
