hello there, my name is Briony Howard but you can call me Bri. i'm 62 so that makes me a graduated year at Hogwarts, where I reside in Gryffindor house. You could say I'm brave, daring, and chivalrous but I personally think that I am sarcastic, empathetic, and passionate. People say I look a lot like Gates McFadden, but I don't really see it...

overall personality:
Briony is bold, brazen, strong willed, and unafraid. She's a courageous woman, one who isn't afraid to shy away from a call to arms. Back during her younger years, she was a starry eyed idealist, dreaming of a better world. She's much wiser now, but she has still retained aspects of her past identity. She is definitely not the same person, however. As a young woman, she walled herself up, refusing to let anyone in. She's softened considerably over the years and has so much love in her heart, especially for her family and closest friends.
She's a feminist to the very bone, refusing to accept any sort of "gender specific norms" whatsoever. She has a very strict moral code that she abides by. She's a strong believer in autonomy of the soul, and believes people have a fundamental right to make their own choices. Her opinions are strong, and she can be horribly stubborn. If she believes in something enough, she is inflexible.
As a young girl, she had a fiery temper. Over time, she's learned to control it, but it does rear its ugly head if she's provoked enough. This is not to say she's an unpleasant person. Quite the opposite. Briony is actually quite loving and gentle. She has excellent bedside manner and genuinely cares about people. She can be very matronly, and has a tendency to treat those closest to her as if they were her own children.
She's a loyal person who is eager to make new friends. She's a very social being, and thrives on interacting with other people. Briony is also a patron of the arts. She's a talented tap dancer and won many awards in her youth for her abilities. She does not like to reveal this little tidbit about herself because she fears people will not take her as seriously.

history:
On December 2, Agatha Howard gave birth to her first child, a girl that she named Briony, after her mother. One year prior to, Briony's birth, Agatha suffered from a miscarriage. Her birth was the best news for Briony and her husband, Robert. Briony and her family lived in a beautiful house on the River Otter near Ottery St. Catchpole. Her mother was a pureblood witch who worked as an auor and her father was a half-blood who worked at the Ministry. When summer came around, Briony would always go swimming, and she'd help her mother plant flowers in the garden. After her birth, her mother had three more children: Genevieve, Noah, and Abigail.
Most of her childhood days were spent daydreaming about becoming someone important. Often she'd tell her mother she wanted to become an auror just like her. She read a lot, even as a little girl, and during good weather, one could always find her under the giant Cherry tree in her yard, reading a book, or playing with her siblings by the river. Her childhood was very quaint, very simple. She was very close with her aunt Amelia, with whom she visited every summer with her parents.
She got her acceptance letter after she turned eleven. Both of her parents were very proud of her. Bri had dreamt of attending Hogwarts for the longest time. When she arrived at the castle, she was in awe of how grand it was. Her childhood had been fairly guarded, after all. Hogwarts was a culture shock for her. She was sorted into Gryffindor, but proved to be a near hatstall, with the Sorting Hat conflicted between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.
She excelled at Hogwarts. She was one of the brightest witches in her year, and was particularly gifted with transfiguration and charms but she struggled with potions and divination. Her mother was killed not long after she started her second year. The news of her death hit the young girl hard. Her mother had always been her hero, so it was not easy to lose her. Her father fell into a deep depression and could not care for his children adequately. Upon learning about this, her aunt Amelia started caring for Briony and her siblings.
Most of her days were spent studying in the library. She attended Quidditch games and rooted enthusiastically for her house, but she was not nearly athletic enough to actually be on the team. For the most part, she was socially reclusive and preferred to be alone. Upon graduation, she had received high marks on her OWLs and NEWTs.
After Hogwarts, she got an internship at the Ministry. Her father and aunt were very proud of her. She did well for herself and eventually secured a decent job in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. She met her future husband there. He was ten years her senior and technically her boss. They were good friends at first, but their feelings quickly moved from platonic to romantic.
