-- BRIANNA BLACKBURN --

--Melody --

Nicknames: Bri, That Weird Girl

Age: 17

Birthday: February 6th

Grade: Junior

Job: Cashier at Hot Topic

Neighborhood: Bayswater House #4

Personality: Brianna is eccentric and that's the nice way of putting it. She's upbeat and quirky, never the one to go out of her way to be silly but somehow always finding humor in something. She's become known at Sierra Hills as 'that weird girl' because she does say the weirdest things sometimes, random stuff that won't have anything to do with the subject at hand. Bri just likes enjoying herself and she loves the feeling of being inspired. To the general public, she's a happy girl, but most wouldn't believe that the blues are her favorite genre after rock. Even quirky girls can have their 'emo moments'. Brianna hasn't had the easiest life, but she's the type that's determined to not let it get her down. She knows she only has one life and she better live it as crazy and carefree as possible while she can.

Brianna's lived on the island of Cabrillo Bay all her life and she desperately wants to get away. Her parents already have! Her father doesn't count though. He was a deadbeat. He abandoned Bri and her mother, Julie, after she was born. Her mother is a different story though. She used to live on the island until two years ago, when they fell on hard times. Julie wants Brianna to go to college and to stick with choir and all those sweet, proper things. Bri never argues, she just does it cause she knows her mom is living alone in LA, working from dusk to dawn in some restaurant as a chef earning less than she deserves. Making her mom happy is the least she can do.

For now Brianna lives in this big, rickety old house with her 'Grandma Sara'. They call it Blackburn Estate. Bri just calls it the crib. Or the dog pound. Her Grandma has three dogs that have been around just about as long as she has: Onyx, the sweetie of the bunch; Jackie Boy, the mysterious little trouble maker, and Wolverine, the quiet defender who's bitten three robbers in his lifetime. It's kinda sad, but Brianna considers the dogs family. It's not like she has a ton of friends to call family. Brianna has friends, don't get her wrong, but she knows she's unpopular and most of the school thinks she's a pain in the butt. She doesn't care for the most part though. Cliques have never been her thing.

She'd rather play around on the beach, terrorize the general public in her funky chicken costume or sing. Ohh... sing. Bri LOVES to sing. She taught herself! She loves writing songs and composing songs. Her guitar, GiGi, is her favorite toy. She doesn't let on that she's like, amazing, in Concert Choir, cause she doesn't want to be the star of concert choir. It's her dream to start a band. And her Grandma is really cool and would probably try and learn how to play guitar for her, but Bri knows she won't be starting one anytime soon on this island...

Other little facts: Jelly beans are her kryptonite. If you want Brianna to do anything for you, bribe her with jelly beans and she's sold. She loves learning about history and placed exceptionally high in her history class last year, so it's the only honors class she's taking this year. 'LOVE' is her favorite word. Such a small word, but it means so much. She has a Gibson acoustic guitar named GiGi. Her iPod is an extension of her body (and it was the best Christmas present EVER after GiGi). She has filled up four notebooks and counting with song lyrics and music notes. Brianna also has been known to dress up in a funky chicken outfit on the weekends (among other weird things she owns) when she's with her friends, terrorizing the locals or just annoying them. What? It's fun!
