Appearance: Briar Figg has always considered herself plain- long faced with an dusty golden toned complexion, Briar stands a 5ft 5 inches and due to her years in domestic service, has a some what lean athletic body type though does tend to be on the skinner side. Broad shouldered and flat chested, in her childhood Briar was often told she had a boyish frame- she does not have much shape to her but no longer tries to hide this fact with the clothing she wears. With long dark hair, that turns slightly golden in the summer months, Briar can often be found wearing her hair back in a plait or a tight bun at the nape of her neck. She dresses plainly, in muted colours and earthy tones, as not to draw attention to herself.
History: April 2nd 1870 A year after their marriage, Wilmer Figg and Preudence Figg welcome Briar Figg into the world! Both mother and child are healthy though Wilmer Figg is less than please at the birth of a daughter.

Both Preudence and the babe are taken ill shortly after birth, and while both pull through, Preudence is informed by the Doctor that she cannot bear anymore children- much to the disappointment of Wilmer Figg who was much hoping for a boy.

It does not - Mrs Figg expresses her resentment towards Briar at a gathering.
September 7th 1877- Her parents send Briar to a small local muggle school about 10 miles from Hogsmede- their reasoning for this is so she can at least fend for herself once the time comes.

September 6th 1985- Briar receives a single letter from her family informing her that they no longer want to recieve letters from her and that they no longer see her as their child.

Sample Roleplay Post: Briar watched the iron hand of the clock move forward as she stood on the train platform. It was raining, a light drizzle but the bitter air that sunk into her bones that made the young woman consider if mother nature was reflecting her inner emotions. She had not shed a single tear after she had been dismissed, but that did not mean she had not felt the turmoil boiling beneath her skin. When the Mistress of the house had called her into her office, Briar had thought nothing of it and expected to be asked to add more logs to the fire- it was June and somehow there was a bitter cold in the air- but then she had told her she was ending her employment and she was to pack her bags and be gone by the end of the week. Yes, Briar had felt the stinging in her eyes as she had walked from the room but she had not given the woman the satisfaction of crying.
