Style: I almost always wear it straight, with a black headband in my hair to keep it out of my face. While I am playing sports or working in potions, I pull it back with a simple rubber band. I don't grow out bangs, I personally feel that they get in the way while I am reading or flying.
✦ Height | Weight ✦4'8" tall | 36.9 kg (81.6 lbs)
✦ General Appearance ✦I'm usually quite inconspicuous in a crowd. I'm generally quiet among people I don't know, and usually don't make much of a first impression, with my rather indistinctive brown hair and eyes and medium complexion. However, among friends I am quite relaxed and somewhat animated. Although I can appear 'delicate' with my features, a closer look will reveal both my vivaciousness and my hardiness in how I speak and act. I know next to nothing about makeup and other things girls use to enhance their features, and so you'll never see me wearing it, unless someone else has painted my face with said clown make-up.
✦ General Character Traits ✦Brynn is a naturally shy person. She mostly keeps to herself, an introvert through and through. Her mouth rarely opens for those she doesn't know, although she enjoys speaking with her friends. Even her professors have a hard time drawing answers from her, although it's not uncommon for her to participate when it her grade hangs in the balance. When she is coerced into group activities with her friends, Brynn does her best to be inclusive, making sure everyone is involved. She does this at the exclusion of herself sometimes, although she doesn't mind. She'd much rather see everyone else having fun than participate herself. In fact, when she's not being anti-social, Brynn can actually be a rather warm, open person. She's more than willing to offer a shoulder and an ear to anyone who needs them, and is always there for her friends. She's loyal to a fault, something that she prides herself in, and is quite protective of her friends. She may not stand up for them vocally, but she finds other ways to watch out for others. True, these methods tend to be sneaky and sometimes a bit more underhanded than she'd like, but anything to help out a friend. In fact, Brynn has a fair sense of justice and vengeance when it comes to others who were wronged. She doesn't care about herself as much, viewing herself as outside of things. This can cause her some trouble, since she has a morbid curiosity, and is willing to follow things through no matter the outcome. She almost always ends up looking back at things she's done with regret, though, thanks to her own morality and her need for some sort of structured system of rules or laws. It's a never ending conflict of experimentation versus staying in line that she deals with on a regular basis.
Although Brynn is fairly quiet, she can have quite the temper on her. While setting her off not the easiest things in the world to do, it's also not terribly hard. When she is angry, Brynn finds herself not raising her voice, but instead focusing on something with great intensity and not letting it go. The rest of the time, though, she's fairly easy going. She's someone that can keep secrets, a trustworthy individual. In response, she generally trusts others and is deeply hurt when they betray that trust. She almost borders naive in that respect, although she likes to think she's a better judge of character than that. She likes to think a lot of things, really, and she doesn't budge from her thoughts. Indeed, Brynn is stubborn at times. She can be a hard head, unwilling to change her opinions on anything. She's also fairly absentminded, placing things down only to forget where she put them mere moments later. The two things that Brynn never forgets about are quidditch and homework, the two important things in her life that aren't her friends.
✦ Habits | Mannerisms ✦Bronwyn seems to find her hair fascinating, and she tends to play with it a lot. Usually it's not bad, but it gets worse when she's in deep thought. She finds that keeping her hands busy with hair helps calm her down and lets her sort out her thoughts. She also tends to make an odd face when she is debating something: her mouth raises up on one side, her eyebrows pop up and sometimes her eyes get just a tad bit wider. It's quite the sight to see. She has very active hands, and usually has some sort of silver coin to keep them occupied. When they don't have anything in them, they tend to tap out beats and rhythms. She does this for the same reason she plays with her hair, in addition to the fact that she enjoys hearing the beats actually tapped out.
✦ Strengths ✦Brynn is honorable and fiercely loyal to her friends. She goes out of her way to help those in need, especially if she can be uniquely suited to help. She believes in the potential of people to achieve things and to overcome their struggles if they have the will, and is a level-headed and reliable giver of advice. She values and exhibits fairness in most things she does, although perhaps not in words. She is determined and hard-working to achieve goals. Brynn feels strongly about her passions and beliefs and will do what it takes to follow through, and she has great inner strength.
is smart, and tries her best to share this with others. She has learned a lot from reading books, and will not hesitate to share her massive collection with others should they need it. Although she doesn't have the courage to stand up for others, she does find ways to get back at tormentors who mess with her friends. She is loyal to a fault when it comes to the people she's let in. She does everything she can to help others when they are struggling. The girl is honest, but not brutally so. Lying has never been one of Brynn's strong points, but she also doesn't want to offend anyone. This has gotten her in trouble at times, but for the most part it has been something that she has been proud of, even if others aren't. Brynn works hard for things, be they school related or something else entirely. She doesn't take much for granted and can get annoyed with those who do.
✦ Weaknesses ✦Brynn will stand up for what she thinks is right, but usually just turns the other way when it comes to confrontation. She isn't one to rely on others for help, and tries to do everything herself before going to others. She views herself as a burden to her friends at times, and doesn't want to hassle them, even in dire situations. Brynn also tends to over think things as well, and by the time she knows what she should do, the time to act has passed. When Brynn is depressed or angry, instead of letting it out on something, she tends to withdraw, and tries to find escape in books among other things. If this doesn't work, the pent up energy will sometimes cause her to be on edge, which may lead to a fight. Although Brynn is smart, she tends to be a bit absentminded, and sometimes doesn't think before she asks questions. She can be headstrong where her friends or family are concerned, often acting without thinking about the consequences. This also comes from her stubbornness. Although when she gets truly angry Brynn withdraws, she gets mildly irritated easily, and more often than not has to reign that in. Brynn is morbidly curious, to the point where it sometimes gets the best of her. When Brynn can be overconfident at times, and even cocky when it comes to certain things. If she thinks that she will win, she will make or take almost any bet.

✦ "Never tickle a sleeping dragon." Thoughts? ✦It is taken both literally and figuratively. While it is excellent advice in and of itself, the true message is clear when it is taken figuratively. Brynn often relates it to the phrase , "Let sleeping dogs lie," and she does just that. She does realize, however, that if everyone were to heed this wisdom, nothing would get done in the world.
