Hobbies: Photography - Bryn loves to take pictures of anything and anyone. She takes her camera just about everywhere, always ready to take a snapshot. She likes to switch between traditional and digital film depending on the situation. Bryn enjoys photography so much that after she graduated college she decided to make it her career and is currently training under a professional photographer.
Scrapbooking - When Bryn started taking pictures of everything she very quickly ended up with shoeboxes full of pictures. Being only eight years old she wasn’t really sure what to do with them, but then her parents bought her an empty scrapbook for her birthday. Very quickly the little girl was hooked. Now twenty-three she has an entire bookcase filled of scrapbooks filled with her pictures.
Rock Climbing - Everyone needs exercise and Bryn enjoys getting hers in a less conventional manner. She started rock climbing at the local gym and eventually progressed to climbing actual rock faces. She prefers being out in nature and the feel of real stone under her hands. Not to mention the amazing shots she can get from the top of a cliff. She goes hiking quite often to scout out new places to climb, the more challenging the better.
Gemstone: Beryl
Virtues: Friendly – Bryn is super friendly. She wants to be everybody’s friend, and won’t hesitate to approach someone if they seem like they’re feeling down. She's even been known to make friends with Destiny City's resident homeless population, sitting and having chats with them. Most people think they're crazy and sometimes dangerous, but Bryn knows that not all of them are like that. She’s also been called a chatty Cathy, talking people’s ears off in an attempt to make friends, which doesn't always work. Half the time it just annoys the other person until they leave. While she's grown apart from some of her school friends, and friends that she doesn't see everyday, she does try to keep in contact. Even if it's just sending them a Christmas and Birthday card every year with a little letter inside updating them on how her life is going.
Playful – Bryn loves games, she also loves to play around. She’s very touchy feely, and is always jumping and hanging on people. She was raised in a family of huggers, so that's how she's learned to show affection. She also enjoys rubbing against people, playing with their hair, or generally any other activity that involves being close. Oh, and don’t ever tell her you’re ticklish, she’ll exploit that to the fullest. Luckily she's super ticklish, so getting revenge on her is pretty easy.
Empathetic – Did your grandmother that raised you your whole life die? Bryn knows how you feel! Well, actually, she doesn’t, but she can imagine. The girl is good at understanding and mimicking others emotions. She likes to feel what others are feeling so she can better console or celebrate with them. Sometimes this backfires and she ends up bawling her eyes out with someone she just met. Also, she spends so much time mimicking other people's emotions that she sometimes loses herself.
Flaws: Melodramatic – Bryn is loud. She gesticulates when she talks, and everything she does, and everything that happens to her is a Big Thing. She doesn’t realize that sometimes she needs to quiet down and use her inside voice, or that she really doesn't need to make such a big deal over losing a glove. Her overly dramatic reactions to life's experiences can grate on people after a while. You can only watch her cry over a broken heel so many times without wanting to smack her. She also blows events out of proportion, birthday parties turn into extravaganzas, and a quick meal turns into dinner and a movie and a night on the town.
Impulsive – The impulse counter in stores was made for Bryn. If she sees something she likes she’ll grab it and buy it without thinking about whether or not she can afford it, that's why God made credit cards, right? Her impulsiveness also applies to her daily actions. If she gets an idea she runs with it, especially if it’s a crazy idea. Her mother taught her not to constrain her 'creative genius' and to follow it wherever it went. Bryn will be the first to tell you that it doesn't always lead somewhere good, but it's always a fun ride.
Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger – Bryn's always looking for the next best thing. She goes through phones like candy, and her wardrobe gets updated with the change of the seasons. She’s a material girl in a material world and she only wants the best, even if it's hell on her bank account. Her spending habits have gotten her in trouble in the past and she has the crappy credit score to prove it.
She’s not a cheap date, or a cheap friend really, liking to get big fancy things. Especially shiny fancy things. Not that she expects her friends to buy her shiny fancy things, but she can't help but be disappointed if she gets something plain for her birthday. This doesn't always impress her friends, especially if they put a lot of thought into it rather than money.
