it's not your fault
those hands are freezing
name: Briar Luz Henderson
nicknames: Bri , Bribri (though he's not really fond of that last one)
age: 17 , August 30th , Seventh Year
house: Gryffindorrr
gender: platypus. Actually, male.
sexuality: Bicurious, mostly heterosexual.
wand:Cherrywood, ten inches, unicorn tail hair core
pets: I'm gonna have to go with none.
play-by: Brian Maddox, of Scenes and Sirens // Stereo Skyline. In other words, a sexy beast-- I mean, what?
borne from childish days
you carry the scars
height: 5'9"
weight: 125 lbs.
body style: zebr-- okay, thin.
tattoos and piercings: Briar has a ring in his left nostril, when he chooses to leave it in.
distinguishing features: Briar's longish blonde hair tends to be the first thing to catch people's eyes (maybe that's because it blocks his?), but if that's not it, than people might notice his pointed features.
overall appearance: Outside of school-- and sometimes inside, as well-- Briar has his own sense of fashion. He tends to dress somewhere between formal and informal-- for example, a tshirt and jeans, but with a vest on over it. To be honest, the boy puts a considerable amount of effort to look good. It takes a lot, you know? Like brushing his teeth three or more times a day, taking an hour to make sure his hair looks okay, planning his outfits before he goes to sleep every night... And, of course, taking showers. There's nothing worse than a smelly person.

strengths:
-Transfiguration
-Standing up for people he loves.
-Organizing... things.
-being a masochist.
-playing guitar.
-keeping secrets.
weaknesses:
-Care of Magical Creatures
-Caring too much about other people to make good decisions.
-Being anal about organization. I mean, what?
-Being a masochist. It's a weakness too, you know.
-Staying calm.
-Trusting others.
fears: He's utterly terrified of these two things, among others: heights, and his mother.
secrets: He's a complete and utter masochist. No joke. D: That, and he usually doesn't take his crazy pills.
overall personality: Maybe it had something to do with birth defects, alcohol that stayed in his mom's system much longer than it should've when she was pregnant. Maybe it was just the fact that alcohol never left her system after he turned two. Either way, Briar Luz Henderson somehow came to be diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder after... an unfortunate event when he turned twelve. This has everything to do with everything, especially seeing as he tends not to take the pills sent from home, thanks to eggings from a certain Ugly Stepbrother.
On a good day, Briar is someone who isn't hard to get along with. Although without a social stimulant, he tends to be introverted, give him a joint or a reason to want to talk to you, and the boy can be the best listening or talking partner. Or, you know, drinking and smoking partner. Tell him anything, and he won't betray your words-- because loyalty is the most important thing to the boy. Though he tends to think of himself as weak and stupid, as well, Briar is okay at most things, excelling at Transfiguration, arguably one of the harder classes. And to be honest? Insult a friend of his, and you may as well consider yourself royally fucked. Briar doesn't hesitate to do what's right, even if he's overly afraid of it, sometimes. And isn't that what courage is really about-- overcoming your fears?
That's not to say, by any means, that he's perfect. If I know anything about pessimism and dead cats, and I reckon I do, Briar isn't fond of the latter, and is a master of half-empty glasses. Sometimes, it's downright depressing to be around the kid. In terms of himself, Briar is too afraid or simply doesn't care enough to stand up for himself or, even, take care of himself, on occasion. His sense of self-worth is utterly confusing, and he leans towards drugs and alcohol as a way to get over whatever problems his life has-- usually, there's a lot of those. And he doesn't really want to handle them directly.
everyone is searching
for a place to end their sadness
hometown: Miami, Florida. Now, Leeds, Britain.
family: Mother-- Maria Crawford, ex-Henderson, Muggle, deranged & estranged
Father -- Ian Henderson, Half-blood, patient & in need of it
Sister -- Kayla Henderson, 1/4 blood, Ravenclaw, Fifth year, 15, trusting & trusted
Stepmother -- Annette Henderson (nee Lawson), Pureblood, optimistic & friendly
Stepbrother -- Maddox Lawson, Pureblood, Slytherin, Fifth year, sneaky & cruel
blood: 1/4 blood, i guess?
history:
"Problematic" is perhaps the best word to use when describing the first decade of young Mr. Henderson's life.
The blonde boy was born on August thirtieth, to a pair of anxious parents, who had gone through an unplanned marriage just in time. It was a union that was nowhere near perfect-- really, the relationship between Ian Henderson and Maria Crawford had been composed primarily of a sort of bitter respect, and blind lust. They knew nothing of eachother-- their similarities, their differences... A fact only proven with the necessary revelation to Maria of the Wizarding World. Maybe that was the first time she started to convince herself that she'd given birth to a freak... but that was a realization that she saved until after the birth of her daughter, Kayla.
They were a normal family, living in Miami, Florida, for awhile. Ian went to work as a businessman, Maria stayed home to take care of the toddlers. Both of them were good at their jobs, at least for a while. But then the kids started getting their magic... and we all know how hard young wizards are to deal with for a witch, let alone for a muggle woman. It was almost understandable when the woman started drinking. But not so much when she started using more... violent methods to deal with the kids. Or, just Briar.
The fights between Ian and Maria started to escalate around
