She ordinarily keeps it straight and comes down to lower shoulder blade. Although she styles it as often as any model/idol does, any crazy colors or dramatic differences in length are wigs.

She doesn't, because showing tattoos is still banned on Korean television and it's too much work to cover one up. Plus she's proud of her flawless, blemish-less skin and doesn't want to muck that up with a tattoo.

Just earlobes, one piercing. Anything more elaborate as part of outfits or costumes are clips.

She is easily the most fashionable teenager you will ever meet; all of her clothes - seriously, all of them - are designer name brand. Socks, panties, bras, sweats, pajamas, everyday outfits, workout clothes, purses, sunglasses, you name it, it's got a designer attached to it. Briony wears nothing but the best, everything must be brand new off the shelf, and she never wears the same outfit out in public twice.

Bri is actually incredibly proud of how smooth and mark-free her skin is. If she has any noticeable marks or scars, there's not where anyone could possibly see them.

Briony has lived the life of the rich and famous since her birth, so you can always find the petite raven haired girl strutting her stuff like she was born to be upper class.

Briony is a spoiled brat. Not quite the 'throw self on the floor and throw a temper tantrum to get her way in public' kind of spoiled brat - she does know how to keep up appearances - but definitely the 'throw self on the floor and throw a temper tantrum to get her way in private' kind of spoiled brat. A child worthy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory levels of punishment.

The only way to win affection is through a competition, and she is determined to get everything she wants no matter what it takes. Briony can play dirty, be brutal, and manipulate those around her into doing what she wants or facing the consequences. While she might not look like she can handle much, Bri will roll up her sleeves and throw herself into the fight, if that's what it takes - and woe be it on the person who finds themselves her enemy. Briony always gets her way.

• Headstrong: Try telling Briony Nakashima she can't do something. Excuse you, she can do whatever the hell she wants. Do you know who her parents are? Do you know how much money they have? She could have you fired on the spot. That doesn't work? She's got more than a handful of tricks up her sleeve to have everyone eating out of the palm of her hand.




• Intuitive: Briony likes to think she can read people. Spend enough time in the limelight and you get good at spotting reality from the fake. She's good at reading people and situations and making snap decisions to keep herself out of trouble, and she picks up on things fairly quickly.

• Snobbish: Briony is a total rich snob. She flaunts her high class life and her parents' wealth, and she looks down on those not fortunate enough to be born in her place. She doesn't really know any different way of life, and it wasn't as if her parents were around to teach her otherwise. To her, fashion and class are everything, and anyone different can stay well away.




• Bloodthirsty: Briony's desire to get what she wants can often lead into… murderous tendencies. Her single mindedness and the ruthless way in which she will achieve her ends can almost be defined as psychopathy.

Briony currently presents as bisexual, although publicly she has been almost exclusively with men in order to keep up her image.

Briony doesn't really have 'friends'... she is well aware that most people are only friends with her for the money, and she is perfectly content to pay for their friendships. Really, if she could pay to have mindless adoring slaves, she would rather go that route.

Enemies are much the same - she relishes in them because they're fun and she is easily bored, but if she could pay someone to create rivals for herself as part of a game, she would rather do that. Briony is almost incapable of forming legitimate friendships and relationships.

But be careful when her laser focus hones in on you - because she can't so easily create willing slaves or puppet enemies, she relishes in the challenge of converting others into such people. She is obsessive and stalker-ish when she doesn't get her way, but goes hot and cold if she does manage to weasel her way into their lives. She also has no trouble going nuclear and destroying lives just for the fun of it.

Surprisingly, Briony is not promiscuous - she is a dedicated partner, if and when she can hook someone. Her 'toys' are more about the seduction and the tease than any sort of actual act; she reserves that for her relationships. Briony currently presents as bisexual, although publicly she has been almost exclusively with men in order to keep up her image.

She has also never publicly been in a relationship of her own choosing: all of her 'boyfriends' were obtained via contract with their respective music or modelling agencies, for publicity and clout, with start times and end times. Bri has zero issue with this and keeps any potential partners hidden from public eye when not in a contracted relationship.

Briony is an accomplished singer and dancer. She has gone through professional idol training programs and so can sing, dance, and perform under the rigorous schedule a K-Pop Idol commands.

One of Bri's favorite past times is to catfish people on the Internet. She has about a hundred different accounts she uses for different purposes, and it's a game to her to see how much she can get someone to do or how far they're willing to go. She never meets any of these people in person or reveals it's a catfish and just ghosts them when she's bored of them.

Outside of shopping, it is her only real hobby and she devotes a lot of time to maintaining it.

Briony is the youngest of five children, and as a result is both the spoiled baby of the family, and also the one most left out as she is nearly 10 years younger than the next youngest sibling.

The rest of her siblings have followed in their parents' footsteps and gone into technology or science fields. Briony is not close to any of them and in fact rarely sees them.

Her parents own Nakashima Industries, a mega-corporate in South Korea and Japan that oversees computer technology as it relates to healthcare. Most hospitals in the world carry either software or products that Nakashima Industries manufactures. They were a multi-million dollar company by the time Briony was born, and has only continued to increase since then.

She has family in both Japan and Korea. Her father's company is primarily Japanese, but as part of the merger, with his marriage to her mother, they have a secondary headquarters in South Korea, as well.

Briony was raised equally between both countries, although their household was in Seoul and she primarily attended school there.

They have had many family pets; they are fond of "purse dog" types and the occasional purebred cat, such as an Exotic Shorthair or a Persian. They are also fond of horses and Bri is a good horseback rider. Bri does not currently have any pets herself.

Briony's mother is Korean and her father is Japanese, hence the Japanese surname. She was a surprise final child, and so they named her after a very good Irish friend of theirs - Briony, instead of Mi-Cha, the traditional Korean name her mother wanted. She still went by Mi-Cha for much of her childhood, since her Irish name was almost impossible for others to pronounce.

October 19th

Briony was born in Seoul, South Korea.

Briony did well in her primary education, but it was nothing special compared to her older siblings and so no one really cared or noticed. She attended Dong-ah Institute of Media and Arts, where she graduated and debuted under her Korean name "Mi-Cha" into an idol group.

Their group did not achieve particular stardom as quickly as Bri wanted, however, so while she is still signed to a label (generously being funded by Nakashima Industries to do so) she is not in a group and only occasionally goes back to dabble in either songwriting or choreography while she focuses on her model career.

Briony is fluent in Korean, Japanese, English, and Mandarin Chinese. She is conversational in several other languages (enough to get her by in most countries she may visit) although she may not be able to read or write them very well.

Briony - or Bri, or Mi-Cha - is the definition of a rich spoiled brat. She was born the youngest (surprise) child of the CEO of tech companies (Nakashima Industries) and has never wanted for a thing in her life... besides maybe attention and affection, being ten years younger than her siblings. So from a young age, this spoiled baby learned that throwing money at things would almost always get her what she wanted... and her personality could do the rest.

She started a promising career as a Kpop Idol under the stage name "Mi-Cha". But when her career didn't rocket into international stardom straight out the gate, she grew bored and turned to a modelling career as well. That's how she met Fallon Bloodmare, a fellow model, her current 'best friend', and Briony became her Familiar. She's only in Snow Haven thanks to her.

Briony is the youngest child of the CEO of Nakashima Industries, a tech industry company based out of Japan.

Briony was absolutely a surprise child, and an accident, a product of the burst of fertility women get shortly before menopause. She is ten years younger than her next youngest sibling, and as such was spoiled rotten by her parents but had to fight to get attention when competing against siblings who were almost to university level by the time she was born.

Briony eventually decided, to get what she wanted she would have to take it for herself, and milk her parents for every ounce of the privileges they gave her. When she was 12 she begged and demanded for her parents to put her in a performing arts school in South Korea, and she attended Dong-ah Institute of Media and Arts for a focus in Broadcasting Entertainment. She wanted to be a Kpop Idol.

That career did not take off as well as she would have hoped as quickly as she would have hoped, so when Briony was 16 she decided to hop off that train and instead shift her focus to a modeling career in California, United States.

It was here that she met Fallon Bloodmare for the first time, crossing paths on a modelling shoot for teens, and the two quickly became fast friends - or as close to friends as a pair of them could get. Briony even allowed Fallon to bond her as a Familiar, after a brief argument on the subject. (Bri was really after Fallon's current boy toy at the time who was also a Familiar, so it seemed like a good choice at the time.)

So Fallon being up in Snow Haven is the only reason Briony is here. Other than she likes the hot springs that remind her of home, and she likes skiing, and she likes to do with the cute winter photo shoots. And it feels so nice to be richer than literally everyone else in town.

Briony is a born selkie, whose beast form is a Dwarf Minke Whale.

She comes from a long line of selkies on her father's side, with the occasional bursts of other species intermixed in.

Bri is exceptionally strong in her sea magic - something she attributes to her bloodline as well as the fact that she is a Familiar.

Her beast form is a Dwarf Minke Whale, native to the waters around where she was born. Being on the small side (for a whale, at least, at only 18ft long) also means she has access to more waters for swimming compared to some of her cousins and relatives.

Her talisman is an aqua blue teardrop stone pendant, encased in delicate filigree to protect the gemstone and with a tiny mermaid charm attached to the clasp.
