[ AGAINST MY WILL I STAND BESIDE MY OWN REFLECTION ]
CELEBRITY CLAIM Zooey Deschanel.
EYE COLOUR Extremely animated and bright, Brynn's eyes are a baby blue color that's almost TOO blue to even be real. They have flakes of grey in them that give the color a icy wet look that is similar to a newborn child's.
HAIR COLOUR Brynn's hair is a rich dark brown color, naturally highlighted with chestnut. It tends to look fairly dark most of the time, and the chestnut color is only present in certain lights and the sun. The length has grown to just above her middle back with natural waves that she neglects to do anything about (like straightening it). It's a wonder why her hair looks so healthy.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT She's a petite little thing. Brynn stands at a less than impressive height of 5 feet and 3 inches and weight the equivalent of a feather. At first glance she looks fairly fragile, some think they could break her just by hugging her.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES She has a fairly large collection of brown freckles scattered all over her body in different sizes and a few pale scars from her past tumbles.... Brynn's pretty klutzy.
CLOTHING STYLE Brynn has a huge obsession with video games and art so her clothes reflect that. You will definitely catch her wearing over sized game shirts or something incredibly funny that references a game. Other times you'll find her wearing flowy things like skirts and bell sleeves. Brynn doesn't like her clothes to cling to her body so I suppose you could call her a hippie-- she certainly dresses like one. However she sees herself as a tree spirit, a natural born flower child.... not that her being an earth element means anything of course ;D

BEST MEMORY [My mum had a garden that she tended to a lot back in France. She loved it to death and we used to call it our secret garden. I think it was one of the biggest in town. Anyway, our favorite section was the huge Poppy garden. Well the winter really screwed them up, and it made my mum really depressed all season. So on the first day of spring we sat out in the middle and I helped them come back into full bloom. My mum was so happy... I was too.]
WORST MEMORY [One time me and my brother Danny were riding on his 4-wheeler in the woods. There were tons of turns and Danny is always good at driving but there was one further than he usually goes that sent us off the hill. We got into a horrible crash and ended up in the hospital. They said that Danny hit his head on a rock, that was the last time I saw him]
LONG-TERM GOAL Brynn would love to be an actress but the fact that she's a mute sort of keeps her from accomplishing that. So instead she's working hard on her art and plans to do graphic design for games.

[ SOMETIMES I REMEMBER THE DARKNESS OF MY PAST ]
MOTHER Victoria Vidal (35), Interior Designer
FATHER Dimitri Vimir, and and occupation unknown.
SIBLINGS Daniel "Danny" Vidal, Brynn's twin brother, died at 15.
OTHER Jacki Collins (37), Interior Designer, Victoria Vidal's girlfriend.
HISTORYWell that's a toughie, where exactly should we start? I guess we could talk about Brynn's parents? Yeah... that's a tad difficult seeing as though Brynn's mother doesn't even entire know who the father really is.
Victoria was the typical party girl in college. She was just a freshmen joining up with a bunch of crazy art kids, went to a party and bam! She got involved with "some guy named Dimitri" as she says, for a couple of months. It was nothing all too serious. Victoria often said that Dimitri never talked about himself or his family. She could only recall him having nightmares all the time. He was the tortured soul type who always claimed to be dangerous and that was what Victoria liked about him so much. The two hooked up a lot in school but never settled down. In fact, once Victoria found out she was pregnant Dimitri had mysteriously disappeared. No one knew where he went, but Victoria was alone. However, not entirely alone, after all she had twins on the way.
It was then that Victoria started cracking down on her studies. She wasn't going to allow herself be a failure as a parent. She wanted to keep these children. So she majored in art and design and got a nice little job as an apprentice under an interior designer named Jacki Collins, a Canadian woman with some serious talent. Oddly enough the two got pretty close and started dating when Victoria was about 5 months pregnant. She was always a free spirit and noticed fairly young that she never had a specific preference for men or women-- they're all people, she would say.
Victoria and Jacki settled down in a little house in Paris, they didn't have much money but they made it by with happy days. On April 28th, Victoria gave birth to identical twins. The boy, born 6 minutes earlier, was named Daniel and the girl she named Brynn. When Brynn was born, she did not cry. Instead she was quietly cooing and looking around. After some examination it was discovered that her voice box hadn't developed which made her a mute. The doctors said that she would need some extra care as she would probably find communication easiest in sign language or writing when she got older. Victoria accepted her daughters flaw and held her children passionately. They were her prides, the very beings that she worked so hard for in school, and now she was happy to say that they would live all right. They would have a loving home, even if they didn't have a father.
Growing up, Brynn and Danny were a unit. Their friends always would refer to them as "Danny and Brynn" or "Brynn and Danny" never separated. They were gentle children, quick learners, and creative-- both finding their calling in the arts. They're relationship was similar to that of a couple. They would always hold hands wherever they go and Danny seemed particularly protective of his sister when it came to her talking to other boys. Because of this, Brynn never got much exposure to boys and dating which explains her fear of being around people she "likes". They shared almost everything as far as personality and talents go. However growing up they were dealing with an abundance of nightmares. Sometimes it would see like that was ALL they would dream about-- scary things. When Victoria took them to a therapist, it was discovered that at their age the "nightmare syndrome" should of worn down and balanced out. Apparently it was common in young children but by the time these children are about 10 it mellows out. This was not so with the twins, and they were deemed with a nightmare disorder or serious dream anxiety.
Around that time, Victoria and Jacki became interested in Wicca. It's practices and connections with dreams and nature seemed to click with the twins perfectly and it calmed them down whenever they had nightmares. Life went on again, but yet another oddity occurred. The twins were playing in Victoria's garden when Brynn found a dying flower. Somehow it had gotten trampled during their play. Danny tried telling Brynn that there was nothing they could do for the flower but she tried to help it either way. With her hands gently caressing the petals, she brought the flower back to life. When Danny realized he could do the same things, it wasn't long before the twins found themselves talking to a strange man who witnessed them about enrolling into a school in Canada before they were 14 years old.
Victoria wasn't happy about letting her young ones go, but she knew they needed to learn their way around their gifts. Somehow she had an idea that this was something gifted to them by their father. So away the twins went, to a magical school full of other kids like them, playing with the elements. Brynn and Danny stayed together just as they did on the outside and Danny called their mothers often (telling them things Brynn would write as well).
They were happy and doing okay, just living their lives. It was just so on their freshman summer. They were heading back home to spend time in Paris before their sophomore year in high school. Victoria was ecstatic to see them as they were for her. However on one day of their vacation, the twins went for a ride on Danny's 4 wheeler in the woods. Somewhere along the line they got into an accident on a turn that sent them over the edge. The twins were put into the hospital where Brynn survived with only a broken arm to speak of, but Danny had hit his head on a rock and didn't wake up. Brynn felt lonely after that day, living her life without the other part of her. She was upset and didn't want to return to school but she had to. She wasn't one for staying depressed, instead she held her brother close to her heart by wearing his yellow topaz necklace... the wiccan stone for hope, and returned to school without her brother.
Thus begins her sophomore year as a single person, just Brynn... not "Brynn and Danny".

YOUR NAME Nzy
YOUR AGE I'm 18
RP EXPERIENCE Quite a few years on and off.
HOW'D YOU FIND US? I think I came here before, it was in my history so I checked it out xD
SECRET WORD Correct.
RP SAMPLE"this was an accident, not the kind where sorrow sounds. never even noticed we're suddenly crumbling. tell me how you've never felt; delicate or innocent? do you still have doubts that us having faith makes any sense?"
it was a usual dark night in Siberia, Russia. the sky was a coat of black abyss and all that was really visible was the blanket of frost on the ground. one would think that being in Siberia, people think twice about stepping outside. well the asylum was surrounded by some strange bubble thing created by the government. it let the snow in but kept the temperature at the usual US winter night. it was weird... but it was also pretty awesome too. but no matter what temperature it was there would always be that scarey winter chill of death in the cemetery.
"tell me nothing ever counts. lashing out or breaking down. still somebody loses 'cause there's no way to turn around. staring at your photograph-- everything now in the past. never felt so lonely i wish that you could show me love."
Hope let her fingertips brush gently against the smooth stone slabs that were randomly scattered across the field. her jade green eyes taking in the eerie sight of naked tree branches-- like claws in the night-- and the emptiness of the area. it felt so lonely in this place, but Hope found it to be a very quiet place to gather thoughts. it was also nice because doctors didn't tend to want to look out here for their patients. heh, bastards must be feeling guilty. how could they now? they killed children for a living...
"random acts of mindlessness, commonplace occurrences. chances and surprises, another state of consciousness. tell me nothing ever counts, lashing out or breaking down. still somebody loses 'cause there's no way to turn around..."
she stopped singing for a moment when she ran into a grave stone. her heart almost skid to a stop completely. Hope's face twisted into a sad expression as she read the inscription: Patient #34992. how could they do that? they already degraded us in the living life now they must degrade us in the afterlife? Hope turned her head away, holding her breath and trying not to cry. how... how could she still be here and yet all the others were either killed by a drug or her own blood injected into their bodies? how was she still alive? hurt, Hope got down on her knees and picked a winter flower sprouting from the ground near the slab. she gently placed it at the base of the stone and sighed.
no body would even remember this person... just that they were a number...
