Dating History Okay so technically Brianna has never had a real boyfriend. You know one where you tell him you love him and he loves you. Mainly its just her getting drunk and doing stuff with them. But she make them swear not to tell anyone because everyone knows her dad and uncle would probably find them and castrate them. So the chastity ring on her finger is still good right? I mean its not like she sleeps with them -- its more oral then anything. Which means she's still a virgin -- but who knows how long that will last right?
Canon or original: original

General appearance:
Brianna doesn't really have a set 'style'. It's just all over the place. One day she could be all glammed up and gorgous, but then next day she'll be boho, and even somewhat punk the next day. She doesn't let current fashion standards hold her. Brianna always has, and always will, dress how she wants to. And if people don't like that, she'll tell them where to stick it.

Her hairstyle changes all the time, just like her clothes. She has worn it all curly and glossy, in messy up-dos, and wavy and messy. Most of it just depends on her mood and what she is wearing for the day. Her make-up is usually pretty minimal. Simply consisting of eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. She doesn't wear cover-up or foundation because she has gorgeous skin and doesn't need to. But, she will wear it if her face breaks out, a rare occurrence due to her religious face care regimen. She doesn't wear that overly shiny, vinyl looking lip gloss. Her gloss is more like a lipstick and it matches her natural lip color as close as possible.

Her captivating gaze is certain to catch your attention, and is the only place you might find her true feelings showing through, although she's a good enough actress to hide even that most of the time. Aside from her eyes, Brianna's face has a certain child-like quality to it, enhanced by what her mother calls her 'pinchable' cheeks because she still has her baby fat. She has high cheek bones, and combined with her wide set jaw, they give her that sort of baby-face look. Her nose is small and feminine, and gives way to smile lines that show how much she loves to laugh. Brianna has the sort of lips that just begged to be kissed, and can form the most perfect pout of seduction or pleading. Her teeth aren't perfect, and her parents refuse to let her get them fixed. She hates her teeth. Hates them more than anything else, even her height. But, at the same time, she doesn't want to get braces and have them during high school. She wanted to get them in 6th grade, when kids normally get braces, but no, her parents wouldn't let her.

Her cousins call her Midget, Short Stuff, or Short Stack because of her small stature. Most people would get Brianna's foot up their butt if they called her that, but she has a special place in her heart for her cousins. Brianna is the shortest person in the entire family. Even her eleven year old cousin is taller than she is. But hey, it's not Brianna's fault that she was born into a family of giants. At five foot four, the charts would classify Brianna at the shorter end of average. But it's really hard to feel that way when you're entire family is around six feet tall. Brianna has a love/hate relationship, thanks to the teasing of her cousins. But, in Brianna's mind, it is much easier to find guys to date when you are short. What guy wants to date a giant? She can wear high heeled shoes, unlike her sister. Though, she does get rather frustrated when she has to go get a chair just to reach things up high.

Her eyebrows, like her fathers, uncles, and cousins', are naturally thick and bushy. But Brianna mastered the art of waxing and plucking when she was in 6th grade, much earlier than the other girls her age had to. She always finds it amusing when people comment on her eyebrows and say how naturally beautiful they are. Of course, she smiles and thanks them all while thinking "If you only knew what they looked like naturally."

Brianna, like most freshman girls, hates her utter lack of curves. She does have a little junk in the trunk, but she is not satisfied. She would totally be one of those girls to stuff her bra, except she knows she would get caught at it and would then be embarrassed for the rest of her life.

Distinguishing features: She has her initials tattooed on her right hip. Her parents do not, and never will, know about her tattoo. Her front teeth are slightly crooked, but she refuses to get them fixed because she likes them the way they are.

Personality: Brianna is the girl who is stealing your boyfriend. Whether that means just flirting with him or having a series of hook-ups. She loves the drama that this causes. She also loves the trouble, her middle name should be Trouble, not Calista. But part of this need to not get serious with one guy, is her terror of having her heat broken. She has seen what it did to her sister, and to protect herself from that, she doesn't like to get to involved, emotionally.

She is absolutely terrified of saran wrap. She's scared that it is somehow going to get wrapped around her head and suffocate her. Her Aunt, and the cook at her parents' house, know not to put saran wrap on anything that she was going to be eating, cause she pretty much freaks out. She also hates snakes. Yeah, a weird fear to have if you live in Texas, but she can't help it. She practically jump out of her skin every time she sees one.

A lot of Brianna's peers tend to think that she is a manipulative bitch. And, I guess they're right, in a way. I mean, she doesn't go into a situation looking to manipulate someone to do something. She is just really talented at using words to get what she wants. Lots of people would think of that as a bad thing, but Brianna thinks it's good, because, if she wanted to, she could totally influence someone to do something charitable and good. Most of the time she doesn't, but the point is that she could if she wanted to.

Brianna hates not getting her way. But, that doesn't happen very often because she can usually talk people into seeing things her way. Brianna cannot stand people who whine and complain all the time. No, she is not going to join your goddamn pity party, suck it up and get over it. Beans make her want to throw up, and she usually does when she eats them. It's the texture they have when you eat them that just makes her get sick.

At school, she is pretty popular. Mainly because people, who hang out with her, tend to find her funny because she always has a sarcastic comment on pretty much everything. But not everyone finds her humor funny, she pisses some people off with it, and then others simply don't care. She may be a bitch to a lot of people, but if Brianna considers you a friend, you wont have to deal with her bitchiness. Not to much anyway. She is extremely protective of those that she loves and isn't afraid to get physical to take care of those people who hurt her loved ones.

Some of her popularity also comes from who her family is. Her older sister, Alanna, was a Queen, and her boy cousins are pretty high up on the social chain, but they're all known as bad boys. But Brianna knows that they're just teddy bears behind their act of being jerks, just like they know she's a sweetheart when not out in public.

Brianna is pretty much OCD when is comes to hygiene. She showers everyday, sometimes twice a day, and refuses to go out in public if sha hasn't showered. Her face care regimen is ridiculous. She has an entire cabinet in her bathroom just for facial care. But that's all different if she's just hanging out around the ranch for the day. Then she's not as obsessive about her showers. If she showers every other day, she doesn't have a coronary, like she would if she was going out in public.

Brianna is a good student. And the odd thing is, she actually does her own work. You would expect a girl like her to manipulate someone else to doing her work. But the truth is, Brianna doesn't really trust anyone enough to put her grades, and her future, in their hands. A lot of teachers and parents would be surprised to find out how Brianna truly is behind her perfect little facade. She pretends to be a good girl around adults, but she is her true self around her peers. Even when said peers tell the adults about what she does, they usually don't believe it because she is "just such a nice girl." All the better for Brianna that they don't know who she really is.

Brianna is an extremely stubborn girl. Her Uncle jokes that he could pit her against his most stubborn mule, and it would be a deadlock. Actually, he did that once, and it was a deadlock. She and her cousin, Raymond, often butt heads. Which amuses the whole family because they're both stubborn, and they both have tempers. Her temper is easily provoked and explosive. Her parents bought her a punching bag to deal with that and she took it to her aunt and uncle's ranch when she moved. She jokingly put a picture of her cousin on there.

Likes: boys, drama, sex, parties, alcohol, flirting, center of attention, secrets, trouble, fighting, bad boys
Dislikes: snobby girls, lairs, guys who cheat on her, bad boys, drugs, luck, faith, needles, hospitals, older guys who hit on her.
Strengths:
Acting: Brianna doesn't act in school plays or anything like that. But she is very good at pretending to be a good girl. She can hide her emotions from just about anyone.
Getting what she wants: Brianna is an expert at manipulating people to do what she wants them to do. Whether this means using her brain to trick them, or using her body to 'persuade' them. She has almost no qualms about what she has to do to get what she wants.
Shopping; Brianna is one of those girls who simply cannot be matched when it comes to shopping. She is an expert at haggling with shopkeepers to get the prices down. She can shop for hours and never get tired. She has mastered the credit card swipe and sign.
Dance: Brianna loves dance. It is one of her true passions. She has been in dance classes since she was just a kid and before that she was in gymnastics.
Horseback Riding: Brianna's other true passion. She has been riding since before she could walk. It comes from having an uncle who owns a ranch. She loves to contest [barrel racing and stuff], but she is also an accomplished eventer [jumping, dressage, etc.]
Weaknesses:
Her Temper: Brianna has one of those temper's which will snap at any second. You will have no warning of when it is going to happen. But when it does, it is best to take cover, cause death is a possiblilty.
Bitchy: Brianna isn't afraid to tell people where to stick it. In face, sometimes she has fun playing the bitch. She is bluntly honest. If she thinks your outfit looks like crap, she is going to tell you. Plain and simple.
Boys: Brianna can't help but flirt when there is a cute guy around. It's like she is programmed to go after every guy within a ten mile radius. This is the main reason she has never had a serious boyfriend, she simply can't decide which one she wants the most.
Secrets:
Terrified of heartbreak
Terrified of saranwrap.
She really does care what people think of her.


flirty, spunky, focused, manipultive, trouble

Hometown: Little Jimmy, Texas
Father: Charles Cole
Mother: Marianna Jimenez-Cole
Siblings: Alanna Cole, 18.
Other important family members:
Uncle Alejandro Jimenez
Aunt Calista Jimenez
Their mass amounts of children
History:
When Brianna's father married her mother, the Cole family was not very happy. The Cole's were notorious for hating the Mexican people and they were loaded and came from old money. So when Charles, the golden child, married the housekeepers daughter, they were infuriated. It wasn't just the fact that the Jimenez family had to actually work for their money that disgusted the Cole's so much, but the fact that Miranna was not a white woman. But Charles ignored his family's criticism and married his beloved anyway. Although not happy, his parents came to gradually accept and tolerate Marianna. When Alanna was born, the whole family was happy. Especially because she took after her father and looked like a normal white person.

When Brianna was born, the family was slightly less excited. She was clearly the child of a Mexican woman and they didn't like to be reminded of what their son had done. They already had to deal with one Mexican looking family memeber, two was just to much. The Cole family never truly accepted Brianna because of that. She had a rather happy childhood, however, because she spent most of that time with her mother's family. Simply because she fit in there.

She was always the more spunky of the children. Alanna being the perfect model Cole. Brianna wasn't satisfied to sit around and sip tea and pretend that life was perfect. She didn't want to hate the other half of her family. So, it was no surprise when she decided to move in with her Aunt and Uncle. Her parents agreed, because they knew just how unhappy she was when the Cole's came to visit, which was often.

She has been living with her Aunt and Uncle for nearly a year and she has really flourished. She became her own person. Her Uncle refuses to spoil her, like her parents did, and she has to work on the ranch to earn money to buy things. But Brianna doesn't mind, to much, because she loves being around the horses. Besides, all the muscles she gets from working help her with some 'issues' at school.

Her Aunt and Uncle have 8 kids. Six of them are boys and two of them are girls. The boys are Alejandro Jr[21], Miguel [20], Enrique[18], Raymond[16], Carlos[10], and Jesus[8]. The girls are Phoebe[14], and Adara[6]. Brianna is really close with all of her cousins, even the boys who tease her because of her height. But she is especially close with Phoebe because they are the same age and they are both girls.

I'M COMING HOME. DID YOU TAKE OFF WHILE I WAS GONE?

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>As I drove, the warm sunshine streaming through the car windows reflected my mood. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to roll down the window and feel the wind. But my ten month old son, strapped securely into his carseat in the back seat, prevented me from doing that. Nick, a generally happy baby, absolutely hated when the windows were rolled down. He would scream as if her were on fire and the sound now only hurt my eardrums, but it tore at my heart. I hated it when my baby was upset. I only wanted him to be happy, and I was prepared to do anything to ensure that for him.

I happily took in the familiar sights of my hometown as the soft sounds of Nick's Baby Einstein CD played in the background. It had been over a year since I had seen these things in anything other than my dreams, or the few pictures that had been with me in Florida. I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw Nick's pudgy little hands reaching towards the ceiling, He was waking up from his nap. Poor baby hadn't slept for one second on the flight from Florida. But as soon as he was in his carseat and I was driving, he had fallen asleep. I was glad, because an hour and a half car ride would not have been fun for a ten month old baby.

My smile widened as I turned onto my street. I was so excited to be home. I parked the rental car in the driveway and just sat there, gazing at my house. Well, sat there until Nick started making noise, he wanted out. "Patience young grasshopper." I said to him as I got out of the car and slung the diaper bag over my shoulder, along with my purse. As I scooped Nick out of his carseat, I saw they Lyle house. In that instans I knew that I was skipping my house and going straight there. I needed to see Nick, my boyfriend and the father of Nick Jr....my child.

I hadn't seen, or spoken, to him since I had left for Florida. My parents hadn't even allowed me to say goodbye to him, or anyone else. "Let's go see Daddy." I said to my baby as I started to walk to Nick's house. I rang the doorbell and bounced baby Nick lightly while humming softly. I saw the doorknob begin to twist and smiled, excited to see anyone in the Lyle family. They were finally going to meet Nick's child.

Hey! And welcome to the site. SIRENS <3 Hehe.
Before I can accept this application I need you to changea few things.

First, please read through for any contradictions.
Like in the dating history it says that she gets drunk
and sleep with guys now and then, but then it says that she's a virgin.

As for the appearance section it's nice with all the details,
but I need you to add some flaws. She has gorgeous skin,
gazing eyes and perfect lips. You do mention some 'flaws'
like her teeth and her height, but turn it around
so it's not really a flaw. Everyone has flaws and everyone
has something that they don't like about themselves.

Moving on to the personality section, I love that she's
not a good girls. Sirens never are, right? ;)
However, I need you to change the following:

This is a general thing in the personality section, so
you should check other places for this as well.
Be careful to say something about other's characters.
You can't really know how other characters will feel
about her.

I also need you to add some more weaknesses to the
personality section. She has some 'bad traits', but
that's not necessarily the same as a weakness.

Overall it's a good application with many details.
You just need to add some weaknesses and flaws,
before I can accept this application.

Don't hesitate to pm me with any questions
or if you need any help. I'll be happy to help
you if you want me to.
Just post here again once you're done editing :)

H,
Mette

alright, i think i got everything. but let me know if I didnt and ill fix it =]

ACCEPTED
Welcome to the site.
Please remember all the sign-ups
and also to post in the threading area
so you can get some plots for your little Siren.
Also check out the OOC-section for games,
the birthday calender and the who's who- thread.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you
