Neutral, Briar Belladonna

Briar Belladonna

Physical: Briar is a rather tall person, standing in at five feet ten inches and weighing in at 140 lbs. They have pale skin that has tanned some from their days outside growing flowers with their mother. They also have scars from fights they've picked with others over the course of a few years due to bullying. Briar originally had dark blonde hair that they later colored to a vibrant blue, they also wear it short. It became a habit since originally they weren't allowed to have long hair and kept it short out of habit. They have almond shaped blue colored eyes, a long slightly thin nose and fairly normal sized lips. Their jaw structure is pretty sharp however and for the most part despite being biologically female their features aren't really soft. They're for sharp and angular like a mans would be, however they still appear to be more petite than a thinner and smaller man would be. On the right arm they have a 3/4 sleeve tattoo done. The tattoo consists of red and pink hibiscus flowers, thorny vines that wrap around their arm and a skull that hides under one of the flowers, there are blue butterflies sprinkled around here and there mostly towards the top., and lastly a pink slight torn ribbon that runs through the whole thing.

Fashion:  On top Briar wears a black sports bra and a white tank top, it has a skull graphic on it and is slightly frayed towards the bottom. They're also known to sport a dark leather jacket with the sleeves partially rolled up. For bottoms Briar wears dark grey jeans that are torn and patched up from wear and tear.  They have suspenders of the same color hang off their sides, and a pair of worn out boots that too are worn out. Nothing on their person is relatively new and look like they've been bought at the thrift store which is how they like their fashion taste. Accessories includes a black beanie thy always seem to wear, a necklace with three gold bits, a butterfly ring, five studded bangles, and Electric blue painted nails.

Most people would be delight to be having a child but not for Briar's parents. Well one of them anyways. Briar's father was looking forward to having a son of his own to pass down the family business, which was a magic shoppe that sold many flowers and herbs for spells and potion making in general. The mother however was not totally thrilled, she had a promising future with Atherium and her talent in Ether magic. At the same time she couldn't bring herself to abort the child and decided to keep it until it was born since she had time between now and when she would be called up to work with Atherium. When the time came that Briar was to be born the father would be far disappointed and heartbroken. Instead of a son as he would imagine he was given a girl instead. Not only that his wife left him with the newborn girl to pursue her career. There were no words to describe how upset the man was, his wife abandoned him and he was not given a son. The man was very tradition and refused to give the girl the shop but he had an idea.

The man named his child Briar, a name that would suit both a girl and a boy and decided to raise Briar as a boy. Because they were a boy Briar could do things that were considered too girly. Long hair wasn't allowed, he treated Briar very roughly as he would a boy. He taught how to use their family magic and how to defend themselves. Yes the man would be able to pas his family shoppe and land to Briar as long as they were raised as a boy. This lead to conflict with other children as Briar was too rough with the boys and girls. They were always picking fights and being snappy to adults as well. Complaints fell on deaf ears as the man was proud of his 'son'.  But things would not stay this way for too long.

Eventually Briar began picking fights with their father when they demanded answers about their mother's whereabouts and identity. The man outright refused to talk about Briar's mother and would only speak of her in a negative light. Around this time Briar's father would go into coughing fits and became very ill. Briar was in distress as a twelve yea rold they had to now look after their father. But it seemed his illness got worse and worse. Briar backed off on the questioning until their father got well, but he didn't. Medical personnel told Briar that their father had contracted a fatal disease from working with a toxic plant that they were not aware of. It seemed Briar was immune to the plants toxicity as they were not effected. But in short their father was dying.

Briar begged their bed ridden father to tell them about their mother but again he refused and only told them this. Their mother was very talented in ether magic and would rather focus on her career than care for her own flesh and blood. Briar did their best to make their father comfortable as the end of his days were getting closer. The last thing they told Briar was that he was proud of them. Three months after his expected death date, he finally passed. Suddenly out of the blue Briar's mother appeared to them and took them in. She even had someone take over the shoppe until Briar was old enough to take it. Briar was not comfortable with this the first few months only hearing bad things about her. Briar's mother tried to explain herself but Briar didn't want to hear it. After another month or so Briar ran away from home but not before learning everything they needed to in order to live on their own.

With their talents growing flowers and their apparent immunity to the deadly plant that killed their father, Briar opened up a shop of their own and sold herbs and other medicinal plants. But at night there was a special shop that Briar grew and sold toxic deadly plants for more darker magical stuff and a special medicinal plant used for recreational purposes. However it was banned from legal usage and most is sold over the black market. Briar personally works with people from the black market to sell her plants and gets a royalty from them under the name of Nightshade. Eventually Briar sought out to further their education. They eventually moved out to Maleron's Haven and began going to The College of Magics to do more research on plant growth and potion making to improve their shop.

On occasion Briar receives letter from her mother apologizing to them but they go on deaf ears as well. Briar is just as stubborn as their father and is still angry with their mother. They live in a dumping looking apartment that is unfurnished with only a bed that lays on the floor. As much money as they make they can't let on that they are acquiring it through illegal means and so they live pretty poorly and they're fine with that. They never like being too fancy and over dressed like their mother appeared when they lived with her for half a year. To the citizens Briar is just some young punk that's trying learn some cool magic and that's how they intend to stay.
