PERSONALITY Boggart: Swimming in the lake and being dragged under by something that drowns her. It's not the drowning she fears most but the unknown, unseeable, slimy thing with something wrapped around her leg. Mirror of Erised: Becoming The Quidditch Captain of Slytherin Patronus: Vixen - Feeling like she belonged at Hogwarts. Cannot produce a Patronus Briar is what one could call a friendly sort of girl. She's always gotten along with people, found them easy to talk to and hold conversations with, she's great at manipulating a conversation her way if she needs to but very often she's actually interested to hear what someone else has got to say. In some ways she's a bit of a sponge, she picks up other people's mannerisms easily and uses them without even realising. it helps her blend in to a conversation easily and it's more common one-on-one, in a group she's just really energetic, drawing her energy from those around her, a real extrovert. Briar finds it easy to make friends but she can also be just too much for other people and she really doesn't care. Some people hate her because of her because of her blood status and some hate her because she's loud or imposing. She's not interested in the opinions of people that hate her and tends to block out any sort of negativity. She's not quick and she's not bright at a whole lot of things but this far in life it hasn't been much of a problem. She may have rubbed someone up the wrong way as she has been known to say the wrong thing, not meaning to offend but having done so anyway. She's been a little too trusting the past and spilt secrets she really shouldn't have that have then gotten out all over the school. She's not a strong secret keeper but she's usually very blunt and honest. There's been a few boyfriends and girlfriends in Briar's time at Hogwarts. She falls for a pretty face fast and hard but rebounds quickly after a week of heartache. She's never down for long and she's not always one of those girls that has to be in a relationship. She enjoys fun with anyone she thinks decent enough, male or female doesn't matter to her. Briar may not be a whizz at school work but she's pretty good at other things, mostly her hand-eye co-ordination. She fell in love with flying in her first year of Hogwarts and tried out for the quidditch team in her second year. She didn't get on the team but was made a reserve though never needed. She made the team in her third year as seeker and loved it. It's pretty much been her life and her obsession ever since. She is a very driven young woman who can occasionally get a little too obsessed with things but she claims it's just because she's passionate about something. HISTORY Mother: Marlene McKinnon, 35, Half-Blood, Gryffindor Alumna, Order of the Phoenix, August birthday Father: Brice McKinnon, 36, Muggle-Born, Ravenclaw Alumnus, Order of the Phoenix Supporter, January birthday Siblings: Heather McKinnon, sister, 18, Seventh Year, Gryffindor, Half-Blood, September birthday Partners: A few ex's but no one now Others: Snowy Owl named Freckles Grandparents on her mother's side Briar was the second born daughter to the young McKinnon couple. Her parents had a whirlwind romance, they knew one another as soul mates and it was with that idea of true love in mind that Briar grew up on. Love was constant and never ending in the McKinnon household. Marlene was pregnant with Heather at school and the pair got married a week out of Hogwarts. Marlene gave birth shortly after her eighteenth birthday and Brice and Marlene just fell perfectly in to the role of loving parents. Heather was their world, they were one another's worlds. Not long after the couple were pregnant again and that was enough. Their world was complete as a family of four. Marlene and Brice worked hard to be good parents to Heather and Briar. They took them on sea-side holidays every summer and made sure the girls knew just how loved they were. They spent time with their mum's parents often but rarely saw her father's parents. The McKinnon's were rather religious and disapproved of Marlene, believing she had led Brice astray. They were already rather concerned with their son when he started showing signs of magic and then there was another drama when it came time for Hogwarts. There was a fight between Brice's parents and it was eventually, albeit reluctantly decided that he would attend Hogwarts. Heather went off to school the year before Briar and Briar was treated like a Princess the entire time. She was looked out for and ket busy as much as possible. Her parents were concerned that she would miss Heather all year and she pretty much did. She wrote to her sister every week but played with the neighbourhood kids for company. She was social from a young age and made friends quickly. They lived in a muggle and magical community so there were all kinds of kids to play with. The following year Briar went to school. She spent the whole train journey with her sister and sister's friends. They told her all about the houses and the way that Hogwarts ran and she was warned to stay away from Slytherin and anyone in Slytherin house. She hit it off well with all of her sister's friends and when it came time to cross the lake she was on her own again, not having made any friends on the train. It didn't matter though, she struck up conversations fast and got to know the three other people in her boat with ease, creating three new friends in her own year. It was a great feeling and a great memory because it was then she felt as though Hogwarts would be one hell of an incredible journey. When it came to the sorting hat Briar wasn't there long. She'd expected Gryffindor much like her sister but instead she was sorted to Slytherin. Something she'd not expected and was a little weary of. Her stomach dropped as she looked from her sister at the Gryffindor table, over to the Slytherin table that was clapping from their seats. She sat, feeling uneasy but she smiled at her housemates, intending to talk to her head of house, or even the head master tomorrow. She'd heard awful things of Slytherin and yet here she was. It truly made her question who she was as a person. Was she evil? Being at the Slytherin table wasn't too bad. Briar found it easy to talk to people around her and settled in well before the end of the evening. By the time she tucked herself in to bed she supposed she would give it a week and see how she felt. Perhaps the sorting hat was wrong but so far there didn't seem to be anything evil about the Slytherin's she'd befriended so maybe it wasn't all as bad as Heather and her friends had made it seem. Hogwarts was incredible. Briar loved learning about magic but by far her favourite subject was flying. She took to it like a grindylow to water and basked in the sun and the breeze as she flew through the skies. She had a natural talent for it which was just as well. Every year through Hogwarts her grades sat around an A, though she was able to scrape a couple of E's in Charms and Care of Magical Creatures. She's not really the academic sort and has charmed her way to getting a cute guy or girl to help her out considerably with her homework. When she graduates Hogwarts she hopes to become a Professional Quidditch player and has no back-up plan if she should fail because she's not really one for planning and she's certain she can achieve her dream.
