Lindsey Brown

Lindsey Brown is one of the supporting characters in the comic "Fractured" and a victim of the Gender Curse which she realized in her adult age and began to make efforts to transition into the woman she really was through exercise and hormone therapy. She was originally met when she was made a victim of the mockery and harassment of Blake, Evan, Matthew, and Kyle due to her being a Transgender Woman. She is saved by Alistair Huntington who intervenes and distracts the men while she gets away but never actually meets him properly. This incident also leads to the men shattering Alistair resulting in their getting cursed to gradually turn into women. Weeks later after the four men have transformed (some more than others) Matthew finds Lindsey again and beings a conversation with her not realizing she's the girl they mocked that night. At this point the fragment of Alistair that is around Matthew's neck and is partially controlled by the Mad Fox persona senses who she is and after a struggle, Alistair manages to cure her of her Gender Curse and transforms her into a full woman. Lindsey then goes on to form a minor friendship with the other four acting somewhat as their mentor since she has experience with dysphoria and being trans. When the four men realize who she is they elect to keep it a secret from her and agree to be certain to be nice to her from then on. Months after they got properly introduced the four men have now become 3 woman and 1 man following their final confrontations with the repaired Alistair and his Apprentice. Lindsey has now become the fifth member of their group after they not only told her the truth of who they used to be but also fully embraced their new lives as women and become genuine friends with them. Lindsey joins them on a day at the beach where she and Eva (formerly Evan) woe and score a double date with two men on the beach.
== Appearance ==
Lindsey is a fit Caucasian woman with long red hair. While cursed she is first seen in the early stages of her transition thus, she still has a few more masculine features like smaller eyes, thinner hair, and more manly facial structure. When she is cured of her curse by the fragmented Alistair her facial features quickly smooth out and become much more feminine as well as longer, thicker and slightly brighter hair. Her chest was originally rather small, and she relied on cloth packing to make her chest appear larger but after being transformed she grew to more of D cup sized natural chest. She is usually seen wearing very feminine clothing and is very open and expressive of her feminine side.
== History ==
Lindsey was born under the name Lucas to a somewhat conservative or close-minded family. In her late 20s she either discovered or at last decided to embrace her true self and came out as Transgender to her friends and family. This was however poorly received, and she lost a great many friends, and her parents came to hate her because of this. Despite the lack of support Lindsey chose to pursue her true self and begin efforts to transition into the woman she was on the inside. She began exercises to grow out her curves and thin out her body as well as growing out her hair and began hormone therapy. While she lost a great many friends and her family after coming out, she seemed to still have some supportive friends as evidenced by her talking to someone on the phone about her recent progress in HRT, but this individual is never specified or physically seen.
At one point Lindsey had just finished a consultation with her doctor and was talking to her friend on the phone hoping he would up her hormone dosage soon. At this point however Lindsey was approached by a group of 4 men who were out for the night basically just being genuine assholes to everyone they came across. The four men were Blake Anderson, Kyle Robinson, Evan Ryu, and Matthew Wallace, all four of which noticed she was transgender as she was early on in her transition at the time. They began to harass and somewhat verbally abuse her until Alistair Huntington, who is scowering the area after just separating from his apprentice Isabelle looking for those who carry the curse, arrives and oversees what is happening. Alistair had intended to cure Lindsey of her gender curse but seeing how the other men were harassing her chose to intervene and distracted the four men long enough for her to get away. Lindsey remained in the shadows after she got away looking for whoever helped but Alistair telepathically told her to run and not look back. She left with Alistair intending to follow her soon after once the four men had left but instead, they found Alistair's cursed crystal body and shattered it thinking it was a discarded lawn ornament of something.
Several weeks later Matthew goes to the gym and is attempting to exercise enough to reshape his body into a more masculine form to fight off the effects of the curse that is transforming him. Unknown to him a shard of Alistair that has been partially taken over by his dark side; the Mad Fox, arrives and places itself around his neck which furthers his transformation without him realizing it. After his workout has made his body much more feminine looking than it was before he sees a girl exercising in another part of the gym and approaches her hoping to get a few good views in while he exercises alongside her. Unknown to him at the time this girl is Lindsey, but he doesn't recognize her from the night he and the others were cursed. The two begin to talk a bit as they exercise, and Lindsey looks Matthews transformed body over and begins to wonder if he is trans as well due to his "in-between" look and drive to exercise so hard. She finally questions him on it after learning he still uses a stereotypically masculine name. Matthew retorts this a bit but then after seeing his reflection he realizes all his progress has been going the wrong direction and he looks much more feminine than when he arrived at the gym earlier. Lindsey apologizes for her misjudgment and admits she's trans. Matthew thinks how he and the others usually make fun of people like her but only to strangers on the streets and just to get a laugh. 
Matthew and Lindsey talk for a bit with Lindsey saying she's only a few months inter her medical transition and she hasn't had surgery yet since it's so expensive and she needs time to think it over more. As the two of them talk a bit more the Mad Fox and Alistair awaken within the shard around Matthew's neck and realize who Lindsey is. They both fight for dominance within the shard as while he is so damaged Alistair can't fully contain his dark side. The Mad Fox wants to swap the curses in Matthew and Lindsey which would turn Matthew all the way into a woman since his transformation progress has been so slow. However, this would also mean Lindsey would receive his slow acting gender curse which would ruin all the progress she's made in her own transition by making her body male again. After a mental struggle Alistair's mind wins out and he uses the power still within the shard to remove Lindsey's curse. Both she and Matthew notice her begin to change and while confused as to how and what is happening Lindsey sees her face and hair change in the mirror and is in awe that she looks so much more feminine and beautiful now. She then bends over with an odd sensation in her chest and crotch as her breast now grow with her bra stuffing falling out with genuine breasts now filling her bra and her crotch transforms soon after making her a full woman. Matthew is confused and worried as he now fears what is happening to him and the others in contagious, but Lindsey is overjoyed and hugs him with gratitude after realizing he had something to do with her finally becoming a real woman. Lindsey's curse is detected to have been removed by Isabelle's pet robot I-Gurr witch eventually leads to her finding the shard as well but not for several more days.
After her transformation Lindsey joins Matthew in the park nearby and while she is still "on Cloud 9" now that she's cured of the curse and is a full woman, she also explains to Matthew how a lot of people from her old life now hate her for being trans including her parents. While the shard had enough power to let Alistair cure her curse it did not have nearly enough to perform Mass Memory Alter meaning Lindsey's family will still remember her as trans instead of having always been a girl. Despite this Lindsey is happy to be in her proper body and after Matthew loosely explains he and his friends are going through something similar Lindsey agrees to meet the rest of them and try and offer at least a bit of support. 
A few days later Lindsey meets with the four men turned/turning women unaware that they just had an encounter with Isabelle before she showed up and now each of them has been given an addition to their curse. The group make introductions and while Blake (now Lilly) is a bit discussed by learning that she's trans due to her own stereotypes she quickly realizes she is effectively trans as well and realizes her past mistakes. The group then go to a restaurant to talk things out more. As the group is ordering drinks Kyle, who was cursed by Isabelle to transform much faster now, runs to the restroom as he fully becomes, she. After returning to the table Kyle joins the conversation Lindsey is having with the others. She explains how she sympathizes with feeling trapped in the wrong body and is unsure why she transformed the right way while the other are all going the wrong way. Lindsey suggests they could look into transitioning the natural way through surgery or HRT but none of them feel it could fully or sufficiently reverse the effects of the magic that's affecting them. Lindsey then mentions how she was harassed in an area close by and describes the four men who did it. The four around her realize who she is and are all ashamed and fearful of how she'll react if they tell her. Lindsey remains oblivious to their identities as they have all transformed too much for her to recognize by this point. In a somewhat discreet way, the four of them use a ruse story to agree to be nice to her and never tell her who they actually are. While Lindsey is confused the dinner goes on and she officially begins a friendship with the other four still unaware that they were the ones who has harassed her that night. 
Several months later the Lindsey joins the rest of the group on a day out at the beach having officially become their fifth member. By this time the other four have learned their lesson and (somewhat) talked things out with Alistair and Isabelle. In the end Lilly, Kayle, and Eva elected to remain as women after finding a happier lifestyle as such and only Matthew has changed back to a man as he was already married and happy with his wife. While Lindsey is a bit late to the beach, she happily joins the others and it revealed they admitted the truth to her about who they really were but in spite of that the group have all become close friends. Lindsey then joins Eva in applying sun lotion on each other as they notice two cute guys watch them from nearby. After a successful lore tactic, the two men approach them, and they score a double date. Lindsey then joins the others to begin their day out eager for some time with her friends. 
== Personality ==
Lindsey is one of the rare cases of a victim of the Gender Curse that recognizes it so profoundly that they elect to transition on their own instead of the Saphire Fox needing to find them and show them what they've always felt yet denied themselves deep down. She openly lived as Transgender before the fox actually came to her and while she did lose her family and most of her friends after coming out, she remained firm and adamant that she was a woman despite her body saying otherwise. 
Lindsey is shown to be a bit timid and self-conscious likely stemming from the Trama of her family's rejection of her. She is shown to be very fearful and defensive when confronted by the four men. While they never physically harmed her their verbal abuse clearly had her on edge. Despite her defensive side and past trauma, she is shown to be very kind. She remains hidden but away from the four men after being rescued showing concern for whoever saved her. And when she meets Matthew and assumes he is also transitioning due to his half-transformed state she reaches out very friendly and respectfully apologizes for her mistake later. 
After being fully transformed she is overjoyed at the results but is still a bit upset her family hates her simply for being herself. Despite her past Lindsey is happy to be a full woman now and after hearing the situation with Matthew and his friends she elects to help them and act somewhat as a mentor or at least offer support since she's able to sympathize with their dysphoria and self-disgust. When it later comes to light who the four, she is helping really are she is forgiving towards them and eventually goes on to join their group as the 5th member. Though it is never specified if she forgave them because she simply chose not to hold a grudge or because she saw they had changed on the insides just as much as the outside. Following her full transformation and adjustment to life as a full woman Lindsey is very feminine, bubbly, flirty, and a bit provocative as evidenced by her very revealing wardrobe and flirty behavior on the beach. Over Lindsey is a very kind person despite her traumatic past and has come to very much embrace and enjoy her life after being cured of her curse. 
== Relationships ==
=== Lilly, Kailey, Eva, and Matthew ===
Lindsey's relationship with this group is complicated as she first met them when she was made the object of their ridicule due to her being trans and their being assholes to entertain themselves. However, when she meets them again, she wants to help them but is unaware of who they really are due to their appearances having changed so much due to their curse. After hearing about their situation, she wants to offer them support and advice on how she can relate to their being the wrong gender now. After they realize who she is they all seem to have the realization that harassing her is what lead them to being cursed but know she herself didn't do anything, so they all agree to be nice to her having seen the error of their ways. At the same time, they all agree to not tell her who they were fearing how she'll react. 
After a time however Lindsey becomes much closer to the group of them and after their final encounter with Alistair and Isabelle and three of them deciding to keep their new lives as women, they come clean about who they used to be. While this is never seen how exactly it played out, Lindsey comes to forgive them and is joined into the group as the fifth member.
=== Unnamed Parents ===
Lindsey is estranged from her parents due to their not accepting that she's trans. Due to the fact that Lindsey never had her life and identity rewritten completely by Mass Memory Alter it can be assumed this severed relationship still stands and Lindsey's parents and most if not all of her family have severed all ties with her as well as many of her friends. The only person we see Lindsey still interact with in a friendly manner is someone she speaks to on the phone when Alistair first finds her but it's never specified who this and what their exact relationship with Lindsey is. 
=== Beach Boy ===
At the end of Fractured Lindsey employees Eva's help with trying to draw the attention of two cute guys. As Eva is the only one of the group to embrace an attraction to men after transforming, she is eager to help by letting Lindsey apply sun lotion to her while she lies down and removes her bra. After their little trick worked both she and Eva score a double date with the two guys. We never see what becomes of this romance, but it can be assumed the two at least went on the date a week later.
