**1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be *at least* seven sentences.**

"okay! that's it for today. you five can get back, get some rest." *brianna leaned forward, holding her hips with her hands as she took a moment to catch her breath. she could feel whole locks of hair brushing against her back, having escaped her loose, half-done bun. her forehead was matted with sweat, yet despite that, she looked practically flawless. especially compared to some of the more winded members of her group. the first day of choreo is always the roughest, because you can tell about three fifths of brianna's group doesn't actually practice on vacation. so it's always sore muscles, lots of groaning, and constant demands for breaks. brianna doesn't really mind it all that much, since she gets lots of dancing in, even on breaks, and she was dying of boredom anyway without the new material.*

*though, her morale was the lowest it had been in months.*

*the moment the end of practice was called, and bri had done some deep breaths, she made a beeline for her duffel bag and started packing it up, so she could get to her dorm as soon as possible. klique tended to have hangouts after practice, but brianna really wasn't in the mood, and the last thing she felt like doing, was pretending that she actually wanted to be there for a good hour and a half. of course, there was always the stubborn rock in her path, one of her oldest friends and quite possibly one of the most annoying people bri has ever had the "pleasure" to be friends with: park woobin. also known as cap, short for capricorn, because he has a thing for stupid nicknames. or bri supposes, stupid english names in this case. although everyone else has given up on inviting bri (they won't admit it, but she knows they have), cap, stubborn as he is, has never let up. it's practically second nature to say no to cap at this point. speaking of which, here he comes now.*

"so.... bri," *cap starts off, cheery as always. he leans into her bubble, and while bri doesn't show her discomfort, she certainly doesn't look up at him either.* "chan already decided on the yoosnacks on that street two blocks from here. so we're gonna walk. you'll be there, right?" *brianna inwardly wonders if cap is naturally this oblivious, or if he just chooses to ignore the clear disinterest radiating off of her at the moment.* "we can catch up! since silencio's already been scheduling us like crazy, haha. haven't even gotten the opportunity to talk about our break." *brianna briefly considered if it was rude to tell cap that she genuinely did not give a single shit about how cap's break went. and once she settled on it, she zipped up her duffel bag, threw it over her shoulder and stood up, poker face masking her otherwise annoyed features.*

*okay, that was harsh. it's not like bri hates cap or anything. she just finds him overbearing at times. a lot of the time, actually. she supposes that she gets it, why he's like that. but she wonders if he can ever find it within himself to just... chill out. it's almost as if he's permanently high strung. or just energetic. it's probably just the energetic part. plus he has adhd, so it's not all his fault. still, sometimes bri just wants to tie him to a chair and leave him a closet or something. just to have some peace of mind.* "sorry, cap. i have writing to do," *she said, half-heartedly, already making her way to the door. in reality, the excuse meant nothing, since obviously, their whole album had already been produced. if it hadn't been, there would be nothing to make choreography too.*

"writing?" *cap replied, following bri. because cap never quits. ever. sigh.*

"yeah. i'm... i'm working on something right now." *brianna internally cringes at the way her voice fails her at first, making the hesitation in her lie all too clear. it's technically not a lie, since she really has been songwriting lately. but not much. just writing down throwaway lines that come to her occasionally. but she likes to think it counts. it makes her feel less like she's wasting her time. but perhaps she is; not like silencio is ever going to let her release her extra songs anyway. so why bother?* "i want to get back and... finish it, before the inspiration leaves me." *now that's really a lie. bri has no inspiration. she hasn't had any inspiration for a long while now. she mostly feels a lot of emptiness and fatigue, and the overwhelming urge to cry. but not any inspiration.*

"oh." *it amazes bri every time, how cap always manages to stop in his tracks. as if he's really that surprised. he should be used to it by now, yet the disappointment is always so strong, every single time. per cap nature, he covers it up seconds later, trying his best to brush off the reaction like brianna expected.* "oh, well, i'll see you later then. i'll come by for dinner! we can eat together then." *ugh,* no. *bri's not sure if she'd be put together enough to see* anyone *at dinner. her plan for then had just been attempting to eat her leftovers while she cried into them and watched children's cartoons. pretty much what she did all break. she used to do it into ice cream, but the added salt always changed the taste. that, and it was going to her hips, and she wasn't doing nearly enough exercise to combat that.*

"yeah, sure," *bri sighs, pushing open the door to the hallway. without even looking behind her, she left.*

*on the walk back to the dormitories, brianna gave up on the half-bun she was sporting and just let her hair down, spontaneously thinking about getting her hair buzzed. she knew it was just the newly developed impulsive voice in her head, a result of her worsening mental health, but she was tempted to listen to it just to have something she felt she could control. ultimately, she ignored the thought and kept her head low, not wanting to accidentally make eye contact with someone and have to force a smile. at the moment, she feels like forcing a smile would kill her. when she got in the elevator, her mask slipped. her sight blurred as tears clouded it, but she held them back best she could, sniffling a bit as she gripped the strap of her duffel bag. luckily, when the elevator opened, there was no one in the hallway, so she didn't have to try and hide the tears threatening to trail down her cheeks as she walked to her dorm.*

*brianna put in the password for her door on autopilot, feeling all the day's emotions that she had been bottling up bubbling within her. her exhaustion and her anxiety and fears. her envy, her loneliness, her frustration. it was only two in the afternoon, and yet, brianna felt as if she didn't want to leave her dormitory for the rest of the day. hell, she probably didn't even have the strength to. as she closed the door, she put her back to it, and with a shaky breath, she set her duffel bag on the floor. a sob chokes out of her as her as she slides down against the door, and suddenly, she's sobbing, pulling her knees to her chest and violently crying into them. she feels hopeless and worthless, and* angry. *where's her happiness? her confidence? her success? where's her romance? where's the excitement in her life? she feels like it was just yesterday when she was a brash, nervous teenager, auditioning for silencio and believing with her heart that she'd get in because she had no other way to cope. and now, years later, despite her career as silencio's shining stars, why did she feel like the dullest one?*

*of course, it wasn't just her with problems. she knew life was much worse for just about anyone else. she was on top the world, people would kill to be in her position. but why didn't she feel like it? why could she not help but think it would've been better to abandon her dream? why was she more worried about the hundreds of thousands of people who were her supposed fans than she was of the ones who weren't? and yet, despite it all, here she was, sitting against her dorm, and choking on her own tears. she felt chiefly pathetic, but there wasn't much she could do to stop it. the dam had been broken, and she didn't have the strength to build it back up. she had a whole group of people who are pretty much her built in support and companions, but merlin, she feels so alone. she feels as if she could disappear at that very moment, and it'd blow off in a matter of days. sure, life doesn't stop for anyone, but people do. and no one would stop for her.*

*why...* why *was she so **miserable?***
