Overall Personality - Just outright, Brooke can seem like a cold harpy. But as you get to know her, she's really just a scared little girl inside. She is flirty, arrogant and doesn't like to be talked down on. Most of the time, she often has to hide some thing about her that would be something to trigger interest; and not the kind she likes. The thing she is most is an actress, considering she's a good liar and persuader when she wants to be.
She's not too stable, emotionally, because of many reasons and being rude to people helps her keep that all locked up. She's actually very shy, and keeps herself strong in front of others to keep an on-going impression of being - to put it mildly - a bitch.
Character's History - As a surprise to her parents, she was born on the day of a new year - January 1st. From the time she was born, she was never left alone and had issues later in life with people leaving her. She's always known that she was a pureblood, considering not much in the household she grew up in lacked the use of magic.
That's when her brother came along.
It wasn't until she was 4 that the jealousy and resentment she felt for her little brother, Alex, came out and showed. She had been the baby, the spoiled one, and then some little brat (as she thought of him) came along and ruined everything. From the day Brooklyn realized all this, she shunned her brother. Regardless, though she kept beating herself up and telling herself not to, she did anything to try and tone down the spirits of her brother whenever she could. It didn't seem to affect him, though, and that just made everything worse for her.
She didn't like that he was so...approachable, so nice and likable. It annoyed her to no end. She didn't like that he got all of the attention for a while. And finally, she didn't like how he could seem to brush off anything. Alex took her place; being the good child.
Brooke convinced herself that she hated him.
The only thing she couldn't manage to do was listen to other people talk badly about him. Going against all of her instinct that she had forced herself to get used to, she defended him. That was torture, feeling useless because she felt protective of the stupid brat that took her place and took practically everything from her, in her mind. But as time progressed, she found that she didn't mind as much anymore. As long as he didn't find out she did.
When she was 15, a 5th year at Hogwarts, she ended up getting her very first boyfriend. After 5 months of being with him, she was convinced that she loved him and that he loved her. That nothing could ever break them apart in a million years.
But, her world came crashing down on the 7th month.
Brooklyn had been wandering Hogwarts, having thoughts of her boyfriend and smiling just at the sound of his name in her thoughts. But then, as she turned a corner, she heard...sounds. It sounded weird to her, and she assumed that some kids were just snogging or shagging or something. She hadn't really cared. Or at least she hadn't really cared until she walked passed an empty classroom that was open a crack, and heard the all too familiar voice of her boyfriend. At the sound of his voice, she burst into the room to find her boyfriend...and her enemy. Together. Snogging. Shagging. It depressed her, and angered her. She ended up cursing both of them, and they both had to go to the Hospital Wing - very nearly Mungo's - and stay there for a while. Lyn-Lyn very nearly got expelled from Hogwarts for that act, and there was a lot of talk about it for a long time.
The main thing on her mind was the heartache. The feeling of betrayal. She never really got over that, and the guy had been her second boyfriend. But she already knew she didn't want to go through that again, so she ended up just turning to a heartbreaker herself. She hasn't been in another relationship since, but she's turned into a somewhat whore because of that.
The event of being heartbroken like that hardened her even more so, and she barely ever let's anyone in to see the real her anymore. It's only her few close friends that ever see her, and she doesn't let strong emotions get to her anymore. Now that she is in her 7th year, the only thing she wants is for the year to pass by so she can get away from everything and everyone. She wants to get away from her little brother, who took her parents from her; her ex-boyfriend, who she sees way too often for her own good; her so-called friends, who don't seem to care anymore; and lastly, the school itself. It has too many memories for her to bear, and she doesn't like to relive her memories. Whether they were happy or not. The year seems to pass slowly for Brooklyn, and she has gotten impatient.
At the moment, she's pondering as to whether she should just leave the place before she finishes her years there.
