overall personality:
Braelynn is a lady, plain and simple! She has a very strong opinion on what is, and isn't acceptable for girls, though she will typically keep that opinion to herself. She refuses to do anything she feels isn't proper, out of fear of how her parents would react.
Her manners match her proper exterior. She is incredibly polite to everyone she meets, never interrupting someone when they speak, never raising her voice. Even if she hates you, she'll put on that charming smile of hers and go out of her way to at least sound and act pleasant. Slow to anger, her patience is unrivaled. She can tolerate most anything thrown at her with that same grace and poise. She doesn't forgive easily though, and her unusual patience gives her the ability to wait a very long time before finally getting even with someone.
She does have a slight... dark side to her. She just can't stand people getting away with things. So, if you do manage to strike a nerve with her, she will get you back eventually. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, or even this week, but she will get back eventually. She tends to stick to the shadows for this, so no one will ever know it was her. With a family like the Rousseaus, she's learned her fair share of curses and jinxes. Thankfully, it takes a lot to get this sort of reaction out of her...
The girl's emotions are incredibly difficult to read. She always comes off as calmly happy, just happy enough that she is approachable, but never to much that it'd come off as excited. She just has to keep her emotions under a tight leash. Growing up, she'd gotten in trouble quite frequently for acting out, and so... She'd learned to control herself. She does have a very hard time making deep and lasting relationships with people, never trusting people enough to let them in. She is a very social girl though, and with her polite nature, she makes shallow friendships with ease.
Braelynn is a Rousseau, which, to her, means she has to work harder then anyone else. With a name like that to live up to, the girl refuses to accept anything short of perfection. Her deepest desire is to truly be worthy of the name, and she'll do just about anything to prove it. She is naturally very clever and bright, with a sharp mind. She picks things up quickly. But to her, simply being able to do something isn't enough. She has to be flawless. And so, she will work herself to the bone to perfect everything she encounters. Basically? She is a very well rounded witch.
She sees her naturally impish nature as her biggest flaw. When she was a child, she'd often acted out. She'd thought it was funny, and always had a contagious laugh. Her parents didn't feel the same way.... They'd done everything they could to squash this behavior. So, she learned to control it. She learned to restrain herself to avoid her parents wrath. But... at times it is very difficult to ignore...
Braelynn is typically a good girl (unless she's getting even, as already stated), but few believe it. They know her family and their reputation. It really doesn't help that she clings tightly to her family. She cares deeply for them, and wants nothing more then to make them proud. While she doesn't agree with everything, she's learned to keep her mouth shut at those times, and do what is expected of her. If a member of her family came to her, for anything, she would do it, regardless of the consequences. Regardless of her own feelings. Even if she will regret it the rest of her life...

personal history
mother:
Yvette Rousseau, 50, Just a fancy lady going to parties
father:
Andre Rousseau, 54, International Lawyer
siblings:
Desirae Minette Rousseau, 17, Ravenclaw
__________ Rousseau, 16 (twin sister, older then Bay by a couple minutes)
pets:
a pure white turkish angora cat named 'Petit'.
history:
Braelynn is the youngest of the Rousseau girls, born only a few minutes after her older twin sister. The Rousseau were one of those families. You know, the ones with power, money, fame... A well known and respected family. From a very young age Braelynn knew what was expected of her- uphold the family name. Stay in line, put on a pretty little smile, and be the perfect daughter.
The only problem? Braelynn wasn't perfect. She didn't want to wear pretty dresses, she didn'twant to put on an act, and she certainly didn't want to be a lady. She was testing her limits as soon as she could walk, not only getting herself in trouble, but seeing what sort of damage she could cause before she was caught. This behavior was.... frowned upon. Her parent's punishment was always severe. After years of this, she slowly began to bend to their will. She learned how to become the perfect little girl, and the older she got, the stronger this training took hold. Braelynn learned to control herself, to hide the undesirable traits to avoid getting in any more trouble. Despite this, rather then resenting her family, she latched onto them even more. They only had her interest at heart, right?
Braelynn attended Beauxbatons her first 3 years of school, sticking close to her two sisters. While she was a social, and charming girl, she didn't make lasting friendships at the school. She did amazingly well in school, her teachers often praising the girl's skill, and willingness to learn. You could say she was a bit of a teacher's pet, often asking them what she could do to improve.
And then... the move. The family left France, Braelynn's home since birth, and moved to England. The move wasn't... easy for Braelynn. She had a hard time adjusting to life in the new country, though she did her best to hide her discomfort and unease. Before the start of her fourth year, she'd tried to convince her parents to allow her to continue her studies at Beauxbatons, it hadn't been a good conversation... So, like always, she bent to her parents' wishes.
She was sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, a natural fit for a girl as clever as her. Being surrounded by students like her, students who thirsted after knowledge and perfection pushed Braelynn to work even harder. What would her parents think if she came in second? She's spent the past 3 years doing everything she can to try and get to the top...
