Beautiful People :: July Edition

It's that time again! Beautiful People: July Edition is here and it has a special question in honor of National Ice Cream Day (am I the only one who got ice-cream? it would have been a crime not to). There are a bunch of good questions this month and I absolutely can't wait to get to them. So why wait any longer?

1. What's their favourite ice cream flavor?
Coffee. Coffee coffee coffee. If it has coffee in it, Brynn will eat it. And there has to be chocolate fudge on it. So.... Probably Double Dunker ice cream.

2. Your character is getting ready for a night out. Where are they going? What are they wearing? Who will they be with?

Brynn slips into her black leggings and laces up her combat boots, then puts on a military-green tank top and ties her hair on top of her head. She meets her best friend, Riley, on her doorstep and they head to the woods for some night hunting.

3. Look at your character's feet. Describe what you see there. Do they wear dress shoes, gym shoes, or none at all? Are they in socks that are ratty and full of holes? What do they consider comfortable and what do they consider agony?
I see thick, warm socks and combat boots. The laces are double knotted and the boots have caked mud on the side. Brynn thinks these are the most comfortable shoes she owns, because they've molded to her feet over the past year or so (the boots are all she wears). She had to wear high heels once and thought she was going to die (I don't really blame her). 

4. Do they have any birthmark or scars? Where are they and how did they get them?
She has a two inch scar in the middle of her right shoulder blade. It happened when she was eight years old and training with her cousin Erik. They where in the woods and running downhill when she slipped and cut herself on a sharp rock. Brynn still holds that over him.

5.What kind of music do they listen to? Does it change depending on their mood or is it always consistent? (Feel free to share samples!)
Brynn doesn't have much time to listen to music, but when she does, she locks herself in her room, lays on her bed, and listens to her parent's CDs -- most of which were oldies. The music that soothes her the most is the Beach Boys -- she swears that she remembers her dad listening to it. Her absolute favorite music is Imagine Dragons, because she feels like it was written just for her.

6. Do they have any musical talent? Play an instrument? How's their singing voice?
Brynn doesn't know how to play any instruments, and she has no interest in learning. She has a gorgeous singing voice, but no one would ever know. She would just die if someone heard her sing, because she hates her voice.

7. What kind of book would you catch them reading?

It would probably be a mystery/thriller. Something that involved lots of fight scenes. If Brynn is going to take the time to read, it needs to be something fast-paced so it keeps her attention.

8. How would they spend their summers (or their holidays)?
Hunting. Camping. Spending as much time in the woods as possible. And she would do it all with her cousins and Riley.

9. It's Saturday at noon. What is your character doing? Give details. Ex. If they're eating breakfast, what's on the menu? Are they hiking, shopping, lazing around?
She's sitting in Seth's shop while Seth and Riley modify guns. There's a bag of chips on the work table for her to munch on. If they talk, it isn't about anything serious. Around one o'clock they'll realize that they missed lunch, so Brynn opens another bag of chips and the guys keep working while she watches and maybe catches a nap. That's only on off days, though. If they have an assignment, they are obviously out saving the world. 

10. Is there anything your character wants to be free of?
If you ask Brynn, she would say the corrupt Government -- that's the answer everyone expects and Brynn truly does feel that way. But more than anything, she wants to be free of the memory of her parent's murder.



Did anyone else do Beautiful People?
