P E R S O N A L ••• ○○○ I don't know where it is, I don't know when, but I want you around
FIRST IMPRESSION "Kinda cute, but she looks like the sort of girl I wouldn't want to piss off." or "A little uppity there, don't you think?"
IN DEPTH Brianna is your typical redhead. Spunky, hot-tempered, independent, and sassy, her personality is certainly one to be reckoned with, and is generally very overwhelming to those around her. While being sweet and silly come easily to her, so do being bratty and sarcastic, and she's that one girl you wanted to make sure you never looked at the wrong way. When she gets a grudge, she holds it--Professor Slughorn often tells her that her persistence and unwillingness to give up would have made her a good candidate for his house.
In a perfect world, she probably would have been born an only child. Having an older sister, while wonderful, is also her great bane in life. Both strong of personality, Brianna and Fiona clash constantly, mostly due to her sister's stifling overprotectiveness over her. All she wants is to feel a little recognition and independence, which are two things she feels like she never gets out of Fiona. This causes her to oftentimes be overdramatic and rebel--she once ran away in a marvelous flourish over one such argument, proving at the same time that she's not yet mature enough to deserve what she requests of Fiona.
LIKES Getting compliments, acting, hanging out with her friends, Ireland, Quidditch, Herbology, singing, dancing, dances, getting dressed up, being treated like an adult, writing, and being social
DISLIKES Idiots, people that insist on acting like freaks, oblivious people, people that are unnecessairly cruel, Transfiguration, being treated like a child, having people try to control her life, being called a brat, people assuming they know her, and Professor McGonagall
ALIGNMENT Neutral
PATRONUS Horse
BOGGART It used to be that she wished more than anything that her dad would come back to life, but now that's Brianna's greatest fear. She wants him around, but the abuse is probably more than she could handle having to deal with again.
FAMILIAR A white cat named Mairead, which was a gift from Zach.

DEFINING FEATURES Brianna sports numerous scars (most very light) on countless parts of her body, courtesy of her father. There is one that is much more prominent than the rest, however, which extends about four inches down the right side of her stomach from a large shard of a broken beer bottle.
MANNER OF DRESS She likes to wear light colors, basically stuff that she deems to be pretty (but not like, floral prints, oh god). She likes bright colors, too, green being her favorite.

BIRTHPLACE Dublin, Ireland
CURRENT RESIDENCE London, England
FINANCES Not really that fantastic, but she's got a decent enough sum of money to her name as inheritance after her father died, so that's something.
HISTORY Brianna Antoinette O'Hara was born on June 29th, 1961, becoming the second and last child of Franklin and Diana O'Hara, four years the junior of her sister, Fiona. It was a happy family, with plenty of love and fun and good times, but unfortunately that could not last for long. Brie was only three years old when her mother perished, an event which threw the small family into a death spiral of disaster. Frank was left a general bum of a father by the loss of his wife, and he made it a habit to drink and beat Fiona at every chance he got. The toddler-aged Brianna was only saved this horror by her sister's brilliant job of covering it all up (and taking many a blow for her), and she would remain oblivious until Fiona left for Hogwarts.
Frank's rage was easily turned on his youngest daughter, who for four years was traumatized by the violence she had inherited from her older sister--and yet, she thought that she had no one to blame but herself. During that time, she devoted her entire being to making her father happy and trying to redeem herself for things she had never done, wanting nothing more than to earn his love back. Brianna could never stop herself from seeing her father as the man he was before, and no matter what he did, she knew she would always love him as her daddy. Having never truly known her mother, Frank O'Hara was the only parent she had, and he thus became the only person that she would ever put aside her strong-willedness and temper for.
It was a breath of relief to escape the hellhole her home life had become when she got to Hogwarts at the age of 11. Besides being back with her sister, she was away from the day-to-day violence and fear and had finally found a place where she felt like she didn't have to watch her back all the time. She relaxed easily into her own little niche in Hufflepuff house and quickly made friends with her roommates--however, much of the time, she felt she was living in her Fiona's shadow. Independent of spirit, she despised being 'Fiona's little sister' all the time, and despite of all her love for her, had a great weight lifted off of her shoulders when the oldest O'Hara girl graduated.
At the end of Fiona's seventh year, the two sisters escaped in secret together to a flat in London, leaving Frank with no idea of where they might be. During that time, her older sister worked a lot to keep Brianna in school, trying not to use up the insurance money that their father had given her. In the meantime, Fiona began to become close friends with Grayson Wilkes, who quickly learned of the wrongs that Frank O'Hara had committed against his daughters. He took it upon himself to kill the man, although neither sister knows this for sure, and the general story around the household is that he died in some pub brawl.
Brianna was broken up over her father's death for a long time, which put on her a stress which led to a great deal of clashes between she and Fiona, one which ended in the teenager running away in anger and with great dramatics. Generally, however, her problem with her sister is that she feels that she is far too overprotective of her, which, while true, is a belief fueled mainly by her strong wish to be independent and recognized as a capable witch. |
