The Character
Name:Briallen Eara Dympna Avalbane
Nicknames (if any):Bri
Age & Year:14, 4th year
Blood:Halfblood
Wand:10 3/4 Unicorn main hair wand made of ash.
Personality:Briallen is a lively little spark, who's eager to do anything within her ability, and, sometimes, some more. Dispite the crippling blow she was given as a child, she always up and considerably optamistic with her lot in life. Amung friends, she always been the life of a party, sometimes more ready to go than more able-bodied students. She may not be book smart, but in other areas, she can be considered very cunning and clever, though she could never run neck and neck with someone from Ravenclaw house, as her attention span is none too long.
When it comes to Quidditch, she can never hope to play or control a broom like other's can. She is a very avid spectator, however, though she tends to get a little overexcited and slightly violent if her team wins or is fouled. She has learned to be very loud and very push to make up for her lack of atheltic ability and lower body strength. Aalthoguh she cannot participate in many activities with her friends, she tends to be the planner and phycilitor of many happening within her inner circle.
Appearance: A rather plain looking girl, and if people were going by stereotypes, nobody would ever guess this girl was from Ireland. She looks more like her mother, with light molotto skin. Her hair is a rather curly mess, with springy curls that have a tendency to fall in her face in the most inoppertune moments. She has dark brown eyes, and it rather medium-heighted and weight. Recently, she has had to use glasses in order to see better, and is usually never seen without a pair of purplish-pink rimmed rectangular glasses.
History:
Briallen mother, a muggle, found out she was pregnant shortly after her marriage to Oran, and the young soon-to-be mother was absolutely thrilled. Oran and his parent, Dympna and Fergie Avalbane, were also thrilled, but for more than one reason. Oran was born a squib, the first ever born to the Avalbane family. There hope was that Oran's condition would skip a generation, and the unborn Briallen would become the heir to the family lineage.
However, it was not a happy time when she was a born. In a muggle hospital just outside of London, she was brought out five weeks too early. The reason: her mother had become very ill, and doctors worried that the baby was at risk of being affected by it negatively. Eara got a c-section to remove the baby, but she never woke up and was burried on the Aavalbane family estate a few days afterwards. And, even though the doctors had attempt to remove Briallen before anything happened, they failed, as it soon became apparent that baby Briallen was paralized from the waist down.
Once he found this out, Oran left his daughter in the care of his parents, his brother, and his sister and her husband. He still stayed in contact with his daughter, but later remarried and started a new family.
Briallen was offically adopted by her Uncle Amergin Avalbane when she was five, thought her grandparents and aunt and uncle took turns for caring for her. It waas necessary for more than one person to watch the young girl, for dispite being kept in a wheelchair, Briallen was constantly on the go, making her way through the Avalbane grounds in her chair, getting into and doing everything she possibly could.
A few years later, she began showing her first times of her magical aptitute. While playing tag outside with her older cousins Keen and Keelin, her grandmother noticed that the two abled-bodied children seemed to freeze up whenever Briallen was 'it' for too long a time, making it easy for the giggling girl to tag them once and wheel off before the other two regained movement. It was a bittersweet moment, for though they now had an heiress, they were sure she'd never be able to attend the stairway-riddled halls of Hogwarts.
When Briallen got wind of the problem facing her about her ability to go to school, the plucky little seven-year old was driven to try something. Working with a combination of muggle knowledge and St. Mungo healers over three years. Briallen became able to leave her chair and walk with the use of metal leg braces from her ankles to her knees to support them so she could stand on them to some degree, as well as propelling herself forwards on crutches which clasped around her wrists. She recieved her acceptance letter to Hogwarts on her tenth birthday, and has attended ever since. She is currently in her fourth year.
