Briar Jones is a 17 year old girl who despite all of her best efforts, can never seem to get away from the chaos that is this small town outside of Milwaukee. She is a confident person around the right people, and comes off as a rather joyful person at first, however she cant comprehend feeling upset and will often mask negative emotions without realising.

## Backstory

Briar was born in Central London, England on the 12th December, 1980. Her mother, Larissa Jones, had been having an affair with her brother in-law, and her father, Percival Jones, had confirmed his suspicions by doing a paternity test when briar was born. Percival was broken, and took briar to live out a peaceful life just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. However, Percival struggled to stay away from substances and to protect himself and Briar, he hired staff to care for her as soon as he could.

At age 5, Briar was enrolled in an all-girls private school. Briar hadn't really been around children her age before, and hadn't ever grown attached to anyone around her. She met a young girl named Alice Kelly, who introduced her to a small group of girls. Alice also introduced briar to the electric guitar, which briar quickly fell in love with. Briar and Alice were practically inseparable, and became well-known in their school community. At age 7, Briar was forced to leave the only person she had ever connected with and move to another private school, much further away. Briar threw herself into her hobbies, and took up singing along with excess guitar practice and fine art. She would soon stop attending classes, to the point where she faced expulsion and had to move schools yet again at age 10. Briar continued to isolate herself, and at age 12 would be pulled out of private education. Briars father, however, had fully recovered, meaning he could finally connect with his daughter for the first time. He attempted to home-school briar, to which he failed at, so he enrolled her in a nearby public school. Briar would eventually meet Jacob Zielinski, an awkward boy that was extremely interested in science, mathematics and other subjects like that. For the first time in over 7 years, Briar had connected with someone. Coincidentally, Briar got back in contact with Alice and formed her first romantic relationship. When Briar was 15, She was invited to a family reunion. Percival advised Briar not to go with him, because he had "unfinished business" regarding some family members, but Briar insisted. At the reunion, Briar would run into her uncle, Joseph. Joseph would approach Briar, and after what seemed like a long and painful argument would push her into a waiter and cause shards of champagne flute to slice open briars face, resulting in permanent scars. Briars father blamed her for the incident, and so did the rest of her family. she now blames herself for the scars on her face, and tells those around her that she "fell into a tower of glasses at a wedding", as per her fathers request. She now goes out of her way to assure that she doesn't cause problems for anybody around her. After a number of events, such as multiple kidnappings, SH and surviving a terrorist in the diner she works at (thanks to Jacob), she would reach a breaking point and have a manic episode in the kitchen of her fathers house, where she would butcher her hair off with a kitchen knife, to which her father walked in on and forcefully took the knife out of her hands before she could go any further. briar now sees her father as someone who shouldn't be in her life at all.

## Personality

Briar is a joyful and creative person, who helps those around her. Briar has ASD, and panics when sudden events occur. She often jokes around with her friends, especially Jacob. However, she is easily agitated and will sometimes instantly snap at a person. When upset, briar will smile and say "oh, no I'm okay, everything is fine." and move on with her day, unless she is extremely upset.

She is never aggressive with those around her, she sees aggression and violence as unnecessary and a large waste of energy. This results in most people just leaving her alone and not causing issues. Although, if Briar is pushed to a point where she has no choice but to be aggressive, she will either purposefully let the other person win, or verbally abuse them.
