Personality: Brinley has a very dry, sarcastic, hippy like tone. A starved artist. She's almost languid in the way she moves about, not exactly lazy, but a bit as though everything around her is useless. You could easily mistake her for being on drugs. She's at times seemingly uncaring, bitchy, and withering in a rotten like manor. Other times she's a happy punk, brilliantly soaking in the glow of bliss (although that is very rare). Brinley can also be described as vulgar, as she often curses every couple of words. She's very clean and has to have things a certain way (and has no problem exing out the things that get in her path, by any means).

Appearance: She's a pint sized beauty that looks delicate enough to break, but looks are always deceiving. Her copper red hair is usually dyed a shade or two unnatural, kept short and spunky. Sometimes you'd think the girl has bedhead, but really, she's just sporting her own unique style. The most striking thing about the petite little punkster is her eyes. They are very bright, clear, blue. Almost inhuman, and she does not wear contacts. They are very bright and go well against her baby soft untanned skin. Her clothes range from vintage finds from thrift stores; dresses that seem grandma like, but make her look dauntingly seductive. Jeans covered in rips, tears, and decorated with flowers and patched up with yellow smiley faces. Her school uniform is usually attached to some sort of yarn creation and pins that reflect certain causes (or moods), though she rarely gets away with it.

Strengths: Brinley is an artist, and a darn good one. She comes from a long line of creative witches, all who could paint glorious works of art. Brinley, herself, is into abstract but she has been known to paint lifelike images on canvas. To top that she's rather smart, but doesn't let it show on the surface, so it often comes as a surprise to people. She sees things in gray rather than black or white, and doesn't see all "bad things" in the world as "horrible and gruesome." so, in a way, she has an appreciation for the world that lots of people do not.

Weaknesses: A lot of her personality can reflect back to her as a weakness. She's selfish, and often doesn't take into account other people. She's kind of in her own little bubble, and having that broken will release a mother of a storm within her. She's very prone to accidental outbursts of emotion. To people who know her, she never shuts up and is constantly saying things she knows she shouldn't. To people who only are acquainted with her, she's a bitchy art type. Brinley also has the problem of pushing people away, whether she wants to or not.

History: Her mother was from Graves Island, a second cousin to the Harman family. She was born and raised there, and like most people from small towns thought nothing but of leaving the moment she became an adult. Which she did. All the way into the heart of Canada to study with distant relatives and go to college.

Soon after falling in love, getting married, and then pregnant, she found herself longing for home. A place she wanted to raise her children, a place she had always viewed as safe. So the Divin's moved before their first child, Brinley, was born.

Brinley had the typical life of a witch in a town full of supernaturals. She started out your typical girl, bratty, chatty, and all. Her teenage years hit with a bang, causing her parents more stress than what they thought was typical. Her younger siblings were far from trouble (or at least didn't get caught). And so Brinley went to school, blended in and became a sarcastic mouthed art type, joined a coven, and has no idea what she wants to do with her life.
