Brooke Fair

## Description

Brooke Fair is a quiet, caring girl. She is usually reserved unless around close friends and has a bad habit of holding things. She has few close friends she feels she can fully trust as she keeps several things about her past a strict secret. She keeps people at arm's length as she does not want to get anyone involved if things go bad. She is very against performing any violence herself and choses to not carry any weapons or get involved in physical fights.

She is known for her voice more than her looks as many don't recognize her until she speaks. She almost always is wearing something pink or brightly colored. She prefers to spend time with people but will pull away occasionally when she needs time to think, though she also dwells on things more than she should. She loves the beach and scenic views, finding that it calms her.

## Relationships

* + Brooke meet Tony during her first weekend in the city at an after party she had been invited to by Dirk Rockahard. Tony's friend, Hallelujah, introduced the two. Brooke was taken by Tony's energy and sense of humor, as well as finding him cute. Their first date consisted of a drive around the city and some time spent getting to know each other on the pier. Tony is one of the few people in the city who know Brooke's background and has completely accepted her for it, sharing his own similarities. Brooke enjoys spending time with him though is unused to the loving attention. Even though Tony remains busy outside of the city, they keep in contact as much as possible. Tony is Brooke's first love, as Brooke is his.
* Coach Daniels - arranged marriage; broken off.

## Background

Brooke was born as Kellen Einar, the youngest child and only daughter to Christina and Frederick Einar of the German mafia settled in mid Florida. Her father rejected her for the fact that she was a girl and in his mind girls were only good to be married off and provide sons to continue the family line. There was no real love in her parent's marriage as it had been an arrangement as well. Christina had accepted her role and kept her head down, showing real affection only for her daughter since she knew no one else would.

Kellen and her mother lived in a condo away from the main house for the first several years of her life. Frederick had seen Christina's role fulfilled and decided he didn't want either of them around the four sons he had stating that he didn't want them to 'get soft.' Christina doted on Kellen, teaching her how to play the piano so the two could play together. Christina told her countless fairytale stories and did her best to make up for the love that Kellen would never receive from the rest of the family. Even though Kellen's birthday didn't have a solid day every year, Christina took the time to throw a party every year, even if it was just the two of them.

Kellen went to a private school when she was old enough. The school was specifically meant for kids who's families worked in the black market. Many knew her father's name which made it hard for her to make friends. The other kids' parents would tell their children to either stay away from her or try to be friendly in hoping of gaining favor. Christina tried to shield Kellen from her father's work as much as she could but eventually had to explain the life she had been born into and what would be expected of her once Kellen was older. Due to this, she chose to be on her own more often than not even though she hated it. Around this time, Kellen was also assigned her own guard to keep up appearances, Wolfram Muha, though at the time he was Cain Aouli.

When Kellen was eleven, she returned home one day to find her father in their living room. His words were, "You're mother is dead. She was at the wrong place at the wrong time. That makes you my problem now."

She was moved back to the main house immediately. There was little time to mourn her mother as the funeral was done very quickly and emotion was not allowed. Since Kellen couldn't stop her crying, she was forced to stay in her room and not allowed to go. She had to learn how to cry behind closed doors and keep her emotions out of sight of both her father and brothers. Her brothers, having been raised by their father, had similar views of her as the head of the house. The time she lived in the main house was filled with bullying as well as emotional abuse from her brothers. It got to the point they had made a game of it to see who could make her cry the fastest.

Seeing her as a distraction to the boys growth, Frederick sent her away again when she began high school. She was sent to live with a group of hitmen that worked for the family. This was a group that had been a thorn in Frederick's side for some time as they did things their own way which he hated. His thought process was that the assassins would get annoyed with the teenage girl enough to kill her, and then he could turn around and go after them in 'retaliation.'

The group, surprisingly, took Kellen in as their own little sister. All of them had their own personalities that made Kellen feel like they were more of a family than her own:

* Alex - AKA Deadshot - leader of the hitman group and resident sniper. He was very blunt and serious when it came to work which led to several fights with some of the other members. Though he was rough around the edges, he did small things to show that he care: ie, patrolling the dorm house they shared if Kellen was feeling unsure about the safety, leaving chocolates for her during her 'time of the month', and making her coffee so she could sit and drink with him when they were the only ones awake.
* Ali - AKA Viper - con artist and poison expert. He was Kellen's best friend within the group. He was only a year older than her so the two got along very well. Ali is flamboyant, narcissistic and snarky but loved and cared for Kellen with nothing held back. He would drag her out on shopping trips to help her break out of the shell she was forced into and would treat her to lunch and coffee to talk her ear off and make her laugh. When Ali wasn't working, they were nearly inseparable.
* JJ - AKA Zero - group's hacker. He was a full on introvert, preferring to stay in his and his partner's bedroom unless dragged out. He would sit on the couch and let Kellen lean against him whenever she needed physical comfort and Ali wasn't around. He spent most of his time playing video games or reading manga and watching anime. He was always the silent support.
* Tristen - AKA Val - con artist specializing in making hits look like 'accidents.' JJ's partner, the two knew each other since they were kids and married before joining this group. He was the resident 'mom friend.' He would cook and bake for the house and was the mediator for any fights that happened within the group. He and JJ tried to keep Ali and Liz from making Cain's life hell.
* Liz - AKA Ranger - explosive specialist. Loud and outgoing, she was the one who tried to be Kellen's 'girl' friend. Along with Ali she would take Kellen shopping and was the one who taught her how to use makeup. She was the person usually in charge of 'distracting' Cain enough for them to sneak Kellen away which usually involved blowing up his car or something of his.

The group saw how Kellen was treated by her father and took on the role to keep her safely away from him and help her get her own life. They even got her an intern position with the town's ripper doctor. Dr Lance, AKA The Mad Hatter, ran the Wonderland group and clinic. His turf was very strictly neutral. None of the groups were allowed to cause trouble within the clinic or risk him kicking them out permanently. He was the only ripper doc in the city so people took him seriously. Despite his sociopathic tendencies towards his patients, he had a soft spot for Kellen. (He also hated her father.)

He took her under his wing to teach her all about the art of medicine as best as he could while being 'technically' unlicensed. He had her help as a nurse within the clinic, following him around and helping with procedures to help her learn. She found that she enjoyed being able to help people, even if they were criminals at the time, and expressed interest in going to legit medical school. Dr Lance did not fully agree, having gone through it himself, but was willing to support her and let her continue to learn under him in the meantime. He even offered her a place within his own gang, The Wonderlanders, under the codename Alice.

When Kellen was about to graduate high school, she was called back to the main house for a meeting with her father. He informed her that now that she was of legal age, she was now able to assist the family. In the form of being married off. She was told that he had already made a deal with a family up in Canada for her to travel there and marry their son. She was told she could either go along with the deal, or make money in 'other ways.' She was forced to get the family crest tattooed on her back to show that she was a part of the 'family'.

Once they learned of this, the hitman team along with the Wonderlanders put their resources together to smuggle her out of the city. Her name was changed to Brooke Fair, chosen by Ali to 'make her feel like the pretty girl she is.' Lance even assisted in removing the family crest tattoo. Set with newly forged paperwork, a new identity and money pooled together by everyone who cared, Cain helped sneak Kellen out of town and away from her family. Eventually, they got far enough away that they thought it was safe to split up. The idea was to go and live their own lives while keeping low to avoid being found by Frederick or any of Kellen's brothers.

## Life in Los Santos

After traveling the states, the newly named Brooke ended up in Los Santos. She heard that the hospital in town was looking for doctors and thought it would be a good chance to become one herself. She had been taking online classes and was ready to get more hands on experience within a real hospital. Her first day in town she went to Pillbox and met the director, Luxanna Mills, and was informed that she could start as an EMT and work her way up to Doctor. She had her first day ride along with Hugh Mann who showed her around the city. When he had to go to sleep, he gave her 10k to get a vehicle because he didn't want her wondering around the city alone. She went to a party thrown by Kay Hurrll and met the Dr herself as well as made friends with Dirk Rockhard who reached out to her because he was concerned that she was alone.

From there she was invited to an after party where she was introduced to Tony Canoli. They hit it off well and agreed to go on a date. Later on, he was at Pillbox visiting a friend and asked her if she had time. Their first date was at the pier, talking and learning about each other. They learned that they had quite a bit in common and melded together very well, agreeing to be a couple at the end of the date. With both of their schedules, they don't get to spend a lot of time together recently.

Tony also introduced her to her two best friends, Coach Daniels and Marcus Soft at an event at the VU. Coach and Marcus introduced her to The Scene crew where April Vonkeaton eventually hired Brooke on as a Medical Advisor for the team. She also works as the Medical Liason for the newly formed SAFEnet fighting group.

She eventually learned that Coach also came from a mafia family. Specifically, the one she was supposed to marry into. She had never met her 'fiance' but had heard plenty of stories of him and his weapon, especially his engraved bat. When she saw Coach take said bat out one time to show it to a new security recruit, she panicked. Marcus helped talk her down and drove her to work at Pillbox to help give her space while offering his support in if she wanted to talk to Coach. Having developed trust in Coach and seeing him as a brother at this point, she did reach out to talk to him. They were surprised to meet like that but learned that they were both on the run from the engagement. Neither of them were interested in pursuing anything romantic. There was some issues when Coach's partner, April Vonkeaton, found out that caused the two to not talk for a time but it was sorted out. Brooke is still cautious about what she does around her guy friends, especially any that are in relationships, so as not to make anything uncomfortable for anyone else.

Brooke spends most of her free time with the Scene crew, making new friends along the way. She struggles when her friends are hurt, having completely detached herself from the situation when she had to do surgery on Stuart Jacobs after he was sucked into the void and hit by several cars. She finds that she either wants to cry, like she did when Hugh died of cancer, or completely detach from the situation. She had a session with Frank Pinata just before he died where she was told that compartmentalizing is normal in the medical field, it's when it happens in her day to day like that it should be concerning. She was told to find a trinket to fiddle with to help keep her in the present when her mind begins to detach. After Dr Frank's death, she went to the beach with her friends and dove into the ocean for a shell that she now carries and fiddles with when she begins to detach. She is beginning to rethink her choice of working at Pillbox as lately her job has been more stressful than satisfying.

On Sunday August 15th, The Scene celebrated Sadie Star's birthday at The Scene building. During the party, Brooke saw an employee email stating that Coach was in a coma. She left the party and went to Pillbox immediately for information. She learned that he had been hunting, not attending the party due to issues he was having with April and not wanting to ruin anyone's fun, when his SUV was unable to make it over a hill and landed in a body of water where Coach drowned. He was without oxygen long enough that his body went into a coma to heal. Brooke stayed with him for most of the time he was out, alongside Marcus Soft. Coach eventually began to awake when he heard April's voice. He was checked out and discharged with no lasting effects. After tsunami, April got washed to the tunnels underneath Pillbox. Coach immediately ran out of the hospital to find her, leaving an irate Brooke. She felt that he wasn't taking what had happened seriously and wasn't understanding of how worried his friends had been. She was so annoyed she actually slapped him when he came back to the group, something she regretted later. Her and Coach had a long talk on the beach later on in the day where she told him her frustrations about how he acted and telling him that he was very important to the group, to her. Both of them have a habit of putting themselves down but Brooke wanted to prove to Coach that he was important. Afterwards, they along with some friends, went and got tattoos to commemorate just being alive and with friends and found family. Brooke got a tattoo of an angel on her back to both cover the old scar and to remember her mother.

On Wednesday August 18th, Elle Smith learned that Brooke hadn't been to several places that the group had found and decided to make a day of it. They had a party on a yacht, Brooke actually getting drunk. She doesn't remember much from it except the fact that she had some fun and felt relaxed. She also accidentally drunk texted her boyfriend a few times as well as drunkenly played a piano on the yacht. The fun was cut short when, on the way back to shore, Mary Lamb got stuck under a sea-do and ended up drowning. Brooke was able to stabilize her on scene and she was taken to Pillbox for observation. She was discharged and her and Stu went home to rest. Tony showed up to see Brooke, a little concerned about her texts. They went on a date to the new Dragon's Rest to talk about things that had happened since Tony had been out of the city. They agreed that they needed to talk more, even if he wasn't in town and planned a vacation to New York for the upcoming city closure.

On Thursday August 19th, Brooke performed planned brain surgery on Maverick Cipher to remove a mass that had been growing on his brain. During the surgery, Maverick hemorrhaged and began seizing on her table. She was able to stabilize him but had to place him in an induced coma in hopes that the swelling in his head would go down enough to safely wake him up. He was asleep for two days, being taken off anesthetic on Saturday August 21st with no ill side effects. He was discharged with instructions for him and his girlfriend Ashlyn Middleton to take it easy and notify Brooke if any symptoms changed or became worse.

Though the patient pulled through with no issues, on Thursday Brooke was a bit of a mess. This was the first surgery she felt she had failed. Surgery isn't her strong suit in general, especially brain surgery, and she felt like she 'botched' it, making her feel depressed. Her friends from The Scene came to the hospital to check on her, Sadie Star having the idea to bring Brooke some desserts to try and cheer her up. They convinced her to clock out for the day and have some fun. Elle, Sadie and Marcus went up to the dirt track to ride around for a while where Brooke was able to connect some more with Elle. At some point during the day, Coach admitted to thinking about working with the police to make himself bait for the infamous killer Smiles. Brooke in turn told him it was a bad idea and he needed to stop risking himself. It was a short argument between them, eventually ending with Coach apologizing and saying he didn't realize how much the thought of him getting hurt was hurting his friends. Brooke was irritated that Coach still didn't understand how important he was to them but chose to take the apology and move on.

On Friday August 20th, Brooke took some time off from Pillbox to spend with Marcus Soft and Sadie Star. They were swimming at a local pool when they heard over the radio that Coach and the PP Boys had been involved in a shootout. She doesn't know details about how Hunter Bail knew what was happening but her main concern at the time was getting to Pillbox to check on her boyfriend and best friend. In arriving at the hospital, she realized that they were severely understaffed for the incoming amount of patients. She jumped on duty to assist in surgeries and stabilizing everyone who was injured in the shootout, which was almost everyone involved. She did not work on Coach or Tony herself though she talked with Tony when he was in recovery. She was mad and upset at him but waited until he was discharged and had been released from police questioning. She was mad that he had risked himself without saying anything. He had messaged her earlier in the day that 'something was happening' and telling her he loved her. It was concerning at the time and more so when she found out why. In learning the reasoning behind the shootout, she learned that they were protecting Tony's friend, Chad Spitter, from being taken by his family. She understands the need to help a friend, she just hates seeing people she cares about getting hurt when she can't do anything to help.

She spent all of Saturday at work, being too mad at Coach to talk to him as well as not wanting to be around anyone. She was more upset with Coach than Tony since Coach had just recently promised he wouldn't do anything risky and then immediately was involved in a shooting match. She felt that if she tried to talk to him she would only speak out of anger and didn't want to risk it. She ended up connecting with Mirror Lafae, an EMS trainee and another friend to the PP Boys, girlfriend to Reginald Fizzington who is a well known Head of Security in the city that also helps The Scene on occasion. The two found out that they have similarities in their backgrounds and Brooke genuinely enjoyed talking with Mirror. Brooke ended up renting a motel room, unsure if she could still use Coach's and April's old condo since she heard that the two had broken up.

On Sunday, Brooke finished packing for her trip to New York and checked out of her motel room. She worked a 'test run' job with Grabbin R Guns N Pitchin R Tents to see if they would want to hire her on as medical for their tours. It was a simple hunting tour that she observed as well as spending some time speaking with the owners, Natasha Volkov and Ezekial Lavey. In the short amount of time, she enjoyed talking to the two and listening to their plans for the company. She was impressed with how thorough Natasha was. After getting her medvan upgraded a touch to hopefully handle off roading better, she hopped on a plane to meet with Tony in New York.

The two spent most of their vacation sightseeing. Tony took her to see the Yankees as well as the Statue of Liberty, Brooke having to hold his hand on the way up and learning her boyfriend might not be a fan of heights. She found it adorable. She also managed to convince him to see a musical once she learned about the Broadway shows. She felt a lot better about things by the time he dropped her off at the airport again. Tony would be staying in New York for a time to help a friend with a business while she returned to Los Santos.
