**Briar-Rose Hawthorne** or most commonly known as **Briar**, is one of the 14 main characters of the TWICE Songfix series, being the 17-year-old award-winning teen actress attending Silverfall Hope Institute. She was in a relationship with Brandon Samuels, her leading-man in most of her films and projects. Briar was unfortunately killed by Hera Anastasakis with Nathan Cortez's knife in Dance the Night Away by slitting her throat open.

Briar is based on **Kaela Giddings**.

## **Early Life**

Briar is conceived out of wedlock and was born on May 4, 2004 to **Philippe** and **Aurora Hawthorne**, who are both actors in a stage play. She was only 3 years old when her parents decided to finally get married, making Briar their own flower girl. Four years after that, Briar saw a reality-based talent competition on television and told her parents she wants to join. She eventually wins the second place of the entire competition, just behind Brandon Samuels, who is the first placer.

She and Brandon meet again as co-actors in a film, where they play as the younger selves of the protagonists; this project went on until Briar is accepted into Silverfall Hope Institute as a high school student, along with Brandon.

## **Personality**

Most people describe Briar as a snobby popular girl who's also a rich fashionista, but she isn't snobby at all- she's in fact one of the friendliest people in their class. Despite being a popular individual in school, she's very humble and modest about everything. She especially hates people who judge her before knowing who she really is; which is why sometimes she's liked by others but they don't exactly *respect* her.

She isn't like other celebrities and rich kids, Briar doesn't expect everything to be handed to her and she values hard work. Although this is the case, she does like all things elegant and classy, but she knows she has to work hard to get all the things that she wants.

## **Physical Appearance**

Briar has shoulder-length blonde hair that she likes to keep parted to the left side of her head, resulting in side-swept bangs. Her hair is braided a little on the right, and her hair is usually tied to a side ponytail with the tips of her hair slightly curled. Her eyes are blue, and she stands at about 5'4".

#### **MORE & MORE**

She wears a white tube dress with a slit on the left side of her thigh under a cropped halter top with a strap around the left upper arm. Her hair is tied into a high ponytail with a section of her hair covering the scrunchie that's holding it up. Briar has a gold and silver bracelet around her left wrist, and she wears a silver ring around her left thumb. Her shoes are white peep-toe wedges.

#### **Dance the Night Away**

Briar's summer attire consists of a pink tulle blouse with a black ribbon in the front, and black training shorts with white accents. She wears thigh-high socks and black ankle boots. Her hair is tied into a low side ponytail with a small braid on the left side of her head.

#### **Alcohol-Free**

Her party outfit for Alcohol-Free has a puffy butterfly sleeve white blouse matched with a white large shawl that was made into a short-front-long-back skirt. Her vine shoes are black. Briar has a pearl necklace and a pearl bracelet around her right wrist, along with the silver ring around her right thumb. She also wears a single hanging earring on her left ear, and her hair is left down- curled at the tips.

Her casual wear has a pink tulle skirt that stops at her thighs, and an off-shoulder white crop top. Briar's gloves are also white in color, and she has a pearl necklace with two gold thread necklaces hanging from it. Her hair is styled the same as in Dance the Night Away.

## **Trivias**

* Her name matches with her parents' names: **Philippe** and **Aurora** from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. *Briar Rose* is Princess Aurora's nickname while she was hidden in the forest by Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather.
* Briar and Brandon are the only blondes among the prodigies, excluding Nathan Cortez, who bleached his natural brown hair.
	+ She never wanted to color her hair- even if it's a natural hair color- because she says it would ruin it, and she isn't wrong. If Briar were to be offered a role for a film that would require her to dye her hair, she wouldn't do it.
* As mentioned in Alcohol-Free, she can speak French despite not living in France. Briar is Canadian-American, which explains why she could speak its language.
* Gavin Young most likely had a crush on her for a short while, though it's unknown when it was.
* It was hinted a few times that Briar isn't exactly comfortable with Ingrid Yuikawa and had a bad history, as mentioned in MORE & MORE. For one, Briar knows Brandon liked Ingrid in the past and is still jealous whenever he gets close to her and vice-versa. Although this is the case, both Briar and Ingrid showed to be friendly with each other, and there's no tension between the two.
* Briar is one of the few characters of the series to have her sketch base updated. This is because **Kaela Giddings** changed her hairstyle and had fringes during quarantine.
	+ It was even implemented in the sketch that Briar originally wouldn't have bangs.
* Briar is the only character in the series to wear actual gloves (not counting Louise and Ingrid for wearing either fingerless or fishnet ones).
