Rowling's Harry Potter Series Basic Information Full Birth Name: Rae Lynn Bryson-Abbott Alias/Nickname: R, RB, Ralynn Date of Birth: April 01, 1985 Gender: Female Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual (Straight) Hometown: Silentville Languages: English Occupation: Interior Designer Medical Records Ethnicity: German, Scottish and Muscogee Creek Native American Height: 5'3 Weight: 110 lbs Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Blonde Built: Rae has a rather small frame for someone that is her height. When she was in high school she was much curvier but now that she has grown up and takes care of her body, she has lost most of her access weight. She is the girl that gave up eating red meats and most meat. The change in her diet along with her Pilates, yoga, and running has helped her body to slim down. Even though she has a slim figure she is healthy and also pretty muscular for her size. Many people look at the tiny blonde and think that she isn’t much but a paperweight. She is a very athletic girl that every is shocked by her pretty girl exterior. Distinguishing Features: Rae has a few things that change her from other people. She has her ears and belly button pierced from her high school years. She also has a tattoo on the back of her left hip of an outline of a black cat. The tattoo of the cat was something that her and her sorority sisters all got when they graduated college together. She also has a small cross on right below her bikini line for the death of her parents that passed away on Sept 11 during the attacks. Medical History: Rae has been a lucky girl to not get to have to spend a lot of time in the hospital. She has broken her arm and nose once from sports related energy. She has never been pregnant or had a miscarriage. She did though go to have her tonsils taken out when she was 12. The girl was in a car accident once but she walked away with just a couple scratches and the driver broke their leg. Rae always felt like she had someone watching over her or her body was just very strong and good at protecting itself. Therapy Records Strengths: 1. Caring : Rae is the girl that is always caring for someone. She is the type of person that loves to help out those and believes that people need to care about one another a lot more. This girl is the type to even care about a stranger and a close friend. To her when someone is in need there is no reason to tell them no or even to deny them the caring and the help that they are asking for or afraid to ask for. Rae even cares about the little animals that people don’t seem to care about. She does a lot of charity work at local shelters and she has a number of pets that she has adopted as well. 2. Strong : At a very important time in her life, her family was pulled apart when her parents died during the Sept. 11 attacks so the Bryson family, her cousins, had taught her to be strong with her emotions. They taught her that there is a time to break down and then there is a time to stand up and think about what is important. Not many girls can do this but she was able to do this when she was a teenager. Many people assume that this girl is someone that is a little person that can’t stand up for herself or be strong when she is needed to but sooner or later they find out that she is a strong individual who can not only support herself but be there for other people to lean on her as well. 3. Independent : Most of the time, a person would think of a young blond girl that lives in California as one of those helpless dumb blonds well Rae is not that type of girl. She is rather independent. In high school, she worked to get what she wanted while playing sports and keeping her grades up and did the same thing in college. Very seldomly would she cave and need someone to help her out. Since she was 18 years old she has been on her own and paying her own bills. The Brysons told her that she should be a girl that can do everything that she needed without any man. She supplies her own money and she makes her own decisions without begging for someone to make it for her. 4. High Morals : Attending church and even keeping her hopes up and the image of her parents in her head made Rae realize that she had to keep up her parents high morals. She wants to believe that everyone is like her but she knows they are not. She still believes in truth, honesty, faith, respect, and even courtesy. She makes she that she follows these morals as well so that way people don’t think of her as a fraud besides she doesn’t understand the point in being someone with little or no morals especially in the media that she grew up in where MTV is having girls act like stupid bimbos who need to be knocked up at 16 or need to have a 560,000 dollar sweet sixteen. 5. Trust : Ask anyone and they will tell you that Rae is a very trust worthy. Whatever she hears stays with her and won’t come out of her mouth unless she feels is needed or even when the person tells her it was okay. She wants to make sure that those that come to her know that she is their friend and that they can tell her anything. She has been a sister, mother, and best friend to many of her friends. Sometimes a few friends joke saying she should have been a therapist rather than an interior designer. Weaknesses: 1. Lost Causes – Rae has this fascination with those human beings that have seem to have lost their way or lost hope. She feels like she has to try to help them out. Whenever she sees one of them, she will try to be there and help them out as much as possible. Normally, when she meets someone like this, she is the one that gets hurt more than the other person. In the end, she generally ends up getting proved that she had no luck and that nothing she did would have saved them or helped them. 2. Animals – Any type of innocent creature that is hurt or sad, Rae will be there helping them out. She is a foster parent for pets and she loves working at the local animal shelter. Usually sooner or later she would end up saving an animal from putting it down. Usually she would adopt the animal and then find the animal a good owner. People say that she will be the one to save them all if she found the way to do it. 3. Tall Men - Ever since she fell for Zack Caine back in high school, she has this thing for guys that are tall normally 6ft and higher. She doesn't understand why. Except when she is with guys that are tall she feels safe and secretly she feels like she should have taken the chance with Zack instead of just skirt around their flirtation. So whenever she see a fit tall guy you will see her head snap to watch him walk by her. 4. Babies and Kids - Rae loves watching kids. Many times she would watch Oliver's kids so he and his wife could have a romantic night out together. Rae knew that nights like that were hard for parents. She also knew that Oliver and his wife have had a rough marriage and she likes these two together so she tries to keep them together. 5. Anything Free - Even though Rae has money and she is in no way desperate, she still enjoys free things. IF a guy buys her a drink she will keep a good mark next to his name. She loves free gifts and things to her it was the best way to get someone's attention and also the best way to impress a girl. Likes: - Art : The first thing you noticed when you walk into Rae's place is all the original artwork that is on her walls. She buys only local artists in the area and she loves getting new pictures to decorate her walls. Many people think that she is a bit odd because of this but she says that they just don't know a single thing about interior design. - Music - Rae is the type of girl that would rather spend her money collecting Albums and music rather than dvds and movies. The girl knows how to play a guitar and also a piano which are found in her living room. Very few people know that she knows how to play. She has always been a shy performer and generally only plays for herself when she is trying to get her head clear or something off of her chest. - Nature - Rae loves animals and the nature all in general. When you walk through her house you will see very few old electronics. She has a lot of the eco friendly products in her house. She feels like the smaller her carbon footprint is the better her life would be. A lot of her photography that she had done herself shows pictures of the forest, ocean and the wilderness that you would fine all around California even to the northern redwood forest. - Yoga & Pilates - This girl is a religious yoga and pilates exerciser. She does one in the morning and then sometimes one at night depending on how she feels at the end of the day. She loves to do Yoga out on her back porch listening to the quiet of the world as the sun starts to rise. Rae got into Yoga and Pilates from a class that she took in college. - Reading - Rae is an avid reader of mostly romantic and paranormal book stories. She loves to read because it helps her escape the world that she is in. To experience something outside of her world and into a far away world to her is the best kind of vacation. A few people would make fun of her because she would rather stay home tucked in under a blanket reading a book rather then go out to the club or bars. - Sports - Rae is a girl that is into her sports. She is the one to be dressed down like one of the guys and screaming at the television when things go wrong during the game. Many times during the year, Rae will through Sports Parties inviting a handful of people over to watch the game and even play a poker game if the game is dull. Dislikes: - Television & Movies - Rae is the type of person that believes that the media is tarnishing the youth these days. She remembered when MTV used to play music videos and now they show stupid crap reality shows. The shows on tv is one of the reasons you will only find one television in her house and that is in the living room. That is usually only on to watch the news or sports or something of that sort. - City - Rae has lived in New York for a year and she did not enjoy it at all. She couldn't handle how cold everyone was and how people didn't seem to realize that they were not the center of the universe. Rae is the girl that likes to take the world slowly and day by day but in the city everyone wanted everything done an hour before they asked for it. She also could not stand the smell or the dirty air that the city offered to the citizens. Rae was constantly sick when she was in the city. - Bullies - Sometimes Rae is a bit naive to ever think that life will be easy and that everyone will treat each other with respect. Whenever she sees someone being bullying, you can see Rae walking over to that person to guilt trip them and even make them feel like they were only 2 inches tall. To Rae no one should ever deserve to be yelled at and made fun of because they are not like everyone else. - Being Told what to do - Now that she is an adult, Rae does not take kindly to being told what to do. In her mind, she is a free adult that is allowed to make her own choices and decisions even if they are wrong. When someone takes that away from her you can expect her to go off at you in your face and then make sure that you say sorry afterwards. - disturbances - Rae likes to live her life in a constant flow. She is not one for surprises or unexpected turns in life. She is a planner and not an experience. Whenever something happens in her life that was not expected, she will stumble a bit before she picks herself up. Her brothers would tell her that she was so predictable that it was sad but to her that was a sign of comfort. To know that at whatever time you will be at this location was something that Rae liked knowing it made her feel like she wasn't slipping away. Goals: 1. Rae wishes to have her own Interior Design Firm by the time that she is 30. At the moment she is working freelancing and under a contract for a firm up in Santa Cruz. She is also attending Business classes to help her build and establish her firm the correct and proper way 2. One day Rae wishes to have a family of her own. She doesn’t know if that will happen since her luck with man hasn’t been the best. There was Tristan whom she broke up with when he moved to college and then Zack whom she liked but never did anything with. She was with a guy in college but that didn’t last very long. 3. Another thing Rae is trying to do is getting one of her older brother’s to his act together. Brody seems to be a mess and Rae things that it is up to her to help him out since they are family and that family shouldn’t walk out on each other. Fears: 1. Rae has always had this nasty dream where she wouldn’t be able to have children. Ever since her abortion of Tristan’s baby when she was in high school that no one knew about it. She would have nightmares of her not having kids again as if it was her punishment for killing a beautiful baby just because it had disturbed her life and goals 2. Growing old and living in a huge house is another fear of Rae’s. She loves having family and friends alone but she is afraid that she will end up all alone as an old wrinkly woman with a ton of cats or pets. Her family keeps telling her that she is crazy because this won’t happen but its true she still fears of it. 3. Fire is something that scares her. She had seen a wildfire take apart a good portion of a small town that she was staying at one weekend. Her brother is a firefighter so she knows how to protect herself and she knows what to do when something happens. In the end she fears she will die in a fire or the fire will take her older brother’s life. Secrets: 1. In high school the summer before her senior year, Rae found out that she was pregnant. The father was Tristan Andrews a man that was a big star in the town. Rae didn’t want to be pregnant because she would not be able to be on sports and this was the year that she needed to be on sports for scholarships for colleges. So she went to her older brother and he took her to get an abortion. 2. Her parents both died during the Sept. 11 attacks which happens to be the same day as her brothers’ bday. When people ask her what happened to her parents since she grew up with Oliver Bryson and his family she simply shrugged and said they are taking a vacation. 3. During her freshman year of college, she decided to have fun and try new things since she was no longer under her family’s watch. Her first year of college, in New York, she tried drugs, drinking, and was a constant partier. When one of her friends were date raped, she decided it was time to go home and settle back down. Personality: The baby of the family as many call Rae because not only is she in reality but she also is in personality wise. Growing up the youngest meant that she was usually the one that was the most naïve and the most to follow her family members around. Rae luckily had a bit of a difference between herself and the other family members maybe it was because she was the only girl besides her aunt. Either way she grew up in a very tomboyish way. She was always with the guys and playing sports. She felt like had to compete with them rather than flatter them. As an adult she is still a bit naïve but now that she owns her own house and she has been out of college for a few years, she is starting to grasp what reality is like. The struggles of up and down and trying hard and not knowing what or when she was going to do for the next month was everything that Rae had to figure out on her own and rather quickly. She still believes in fairy tales and what life is or would be like if she would find the right guy. It is weird that she believes in things like this but its something that she feels like keeps her moving forward. Rae is generally a rather fun girl to be around now. She is always in the mood to entertain guests as she has many different events at her place to football games to just parties of all sorts. Many people that are friends with Rae know that she is the type that will have a big house and entertain people. Rae likes to entertain. It gives her a chance to do something for herself and also help bring her friends together like in the old days. Every once in awhile, you will find Rae just throwing herself into work. This was something that she tends to do when she has a list of things or obstacles that she wants to do and accomplish. She would just get so focused that she would block everything else out and just focus on the work that is at hand. Some people think that she is a bit cuckoo as she is still a young woman and yet she acts like she is in a love affair with her work. Fashion Sense: Rae has a very unique style. She loves denim and the casual look with a very western country look to it. Colors that are bright and soft are what she loves to play with. You will find her a lot of time in dresses or jeans but mostly always in boots or flip flops. If she is on a date or going out to party in the city its heels and wedges. Many people have claimed that she has an old look with a new twist on it. She loves to stay causal and bubbly and not the one to be high end fashioned or even modern.

They are actually very distant with one another. With their parents gone and the age difference between Rae and the twins, they are very distant and don't bond very well. History: Childhood was great for Rae and the family. The twins and her were close to the family and even more so they were a good family. They would do things together and have fun. Constant trips and laughs and a good time, Rae could remember that many parents were jealous of her family when she was younger. Her friends used to come over from her Girl Scouts and have fun. The twins always seemed to hate having all those girls around but Rae loved it. Rae loved having friends around her and near her. She was one of those girls that were popular and was constantly a bubbly and happy person. In middle school, life was normal for Rae. She was a typical girl that had simple crushes going through her first kisses to first times with a guy getting over the first jitteries of being around guys and going through the times that Judy Blume seemed to help her out. Many people considered her to be the sweetheart of her class. She was a friend with those above and under her. She used to tutor kids that were in the younger grades. At the time she wanted to be nothing more than a special education teacher. Her bliss life ended though when September 11 of 2001 just like many other families and happiness had ended. Rae’s parents were in one of the planes on their way to visit Rae’s mother’s mom. At first Rae thought that it wasn’t their plane number but when she checked her planner and saw the number of the plane in the schedule, her whole world started to tumble. No one understood why. How could they know? She remembered that day so well and even haunts her in her dreams. She was in her History class and they had stopped the class to show what was going on. She was at her desk preparing for her speech she had to make in her politics class. Rae was ahead in her classes since she did some college courses in the summer. When she saw the planes right the buildings it was like a ton of bricks falling on her. She checked her cell phone and she had 3 missed phone classes from an unknown number. After September 11, the twins were already on their own and living their own lives but Rae had no one now. Because of what happened she couldn’t pass the emancipation or even prove that she was capable of living on her own. Her older brother tried to have her stay with him but he didn’t pass the judges conditions, as he was a full time college student and also busy with his firefighter classes and work. The judge had granted custody over to Rae’s uncle who was Oliver Bryson’s father. Her whole world flipped completely flipped and she was not sure why or how. Not only did she have to get used to a new home but also have to get used to new people and a new school. Rae’s parents moved to Santa Cruz before Rae started high school and after the twins moved out. Rae’s father had paid for the location and they decided this was a smarter decision since they had faith that Rae would fit right in and she did. But now on her own moving into a new home, she had to do it again. How could she pull everything together and act like everything was perfect that her life was nothing tragic when in reality it was. She didn’t know what she would say or even act. At her new high school though, she was very shy and distant with people. Mostly because of what had happened she was still coping and realizing that her mom would never see her at her prom or her father wouldn’t be able to go to another volleyball match and cheer for her. They wouldn’t see her go on her first real date or see her get her first car. They didn’t even get to see her have her first real relationship. How could she live knowing that she would have to go through that on her own? Well it turned out that she didn’t have to go through it alone. Oliver had asked a few of his friends that were girls Lily, and Morgan to watch Rae and help her out. After a few months Rae started to go into a small less active version of herself but at least she wasn’t hiding in her room anymore. She was out meeting people. The day she meet Tristan was a day she felt like things would go right again and that maybe there is a chance to be happy again. He was the guy that many people claimed to be “the man” on campus. You know how high schools play things up like it’s a big deal. She fell for him so hard. She thought that he loved her like she did. The eight months or so they had together been amazing but when he moved to college it all changed. At first he would say that he had to study and then it was basketball but when she went to surprise visit him he was nowhere on campus instead he was off at some chick’s apartment. Rae ended it and told him to not come looking for her. However, even though Tristan seemed to be a jerk, Rae found an unexpected flame start to grow between Zach and herself. Zach was Oliver’s best friend and also Mischa Caine’s brother, which was not that great. Her thoughts where if Oliver can have twitter pitted eyes over Mischa what was stopping her from flirting with Zach. Her and Zach had something there for a while and a little bit. But it also ended when Rae went to New York for a college that she had a scholarship with. In New York, Rae had fun the first year not really doing so well in her classes. She went out partying at first just drinking at house parties and frat houses. When she started to expand her group of friends she started to hang out with the wrong group of people and those weren’t the greatest. They introduced her to drugs first the soft ones and then when the hard ones came down Rae freaked out. It was a good thing because when she was introduced to the hard drugs, one of her friends ended up taking a date rape drug and then was raped. Rae felt awful because they were supposed to watch over each other and instead Rae was doing her own thing. After that semester which she didn’t do well with grades, which were on the C area, Rae packed up her things and moved back home to Silentville. Rae finished off her education at the University of Silentville where she graduated the top in her class. She majored in art and interior design. She is now working at a firm and freelancing around Silentville for interior design and consulting. She loved her life, she owns her house and she lives near the beach with her pets. She is close to Oliver’s family who has a handful of mini Olivers. Rae was finally happy and peace with herself. High School: 2003 College: 2008 College Major: interior design & art Behind the Character Your Name or Alias: Jessie Your Age: 22 Contact Info: MSN, AIM, Yahoo, PM Role playing Experience: 7+ years Role Play Sample: Growing up in the Johns family was a little weird. Most families were all happy and well normal. Nope not at this family. You didn’t hear a lot of I love yous. There was constantly a fight of some sort either between family members or from someone out of the family. Growing up for Del though was not easy. Her parents always seemed to fight about just every thing that happened. At night one could hear it all but during the day you didn’t hear anything because well no one was really around. Her father was either gone or too busy with his job supposedly. Her mom was always into traveling, Del assumed that it was some sort of family trait or something. Sooner or later though her parents got divorced and that was a flip in her life. Her father whom she used to be close with just disappeared with nothing but a note that said sorry. That was it. She was the closest to her father at least she thought so. Her mom and her seemed to argue more than the others. People used to say it was because Del and her had similar personalities but Del did not want to believe that. Once they moved to Clearwater because, Del’s mom thought it would be better to be around the other family for support and all that, Del’s mom was gone more than ever. It seemed with that divorce, Del had lost both of her parents. But no matter what Del knew she could always call her mom up and talk to her until tonight…. Finally getting to sleep by twelve thirty only to be woken up again by her cell phone going off. Without moving much, she answered the phone thinking that one of her friends were just drunk or some one messing with her. But that was not what was on the phone. No, it was Jagger and news that Del did not want to hear. Her mother couldn’t have gotten in the accident neither could her aunt and uncle…. They were Johns it was harder than that to put a Johns in a death wish. Slowly she sat up and just sat there in the dark room. Everything seemed to be so unreal. They could not die, that was the only thing that kept circling in her mind. She remembered the last time she had with her mom. That day she was at home to pick up the rest of her stuff with Toby. Her mom and her really got into it. Del called her things that she would have never done if she were still eleven or even thirteen. The look of so much pain and anger and just pain remained stuck in Del’s head. She never had the chance to say sorry. She never had the chance to tell her that she loved her after their fight. Everyone told her that she should go and apologize because that was her mom. Del always just shrugged it off and told them that she would get around to it. But now she could not just get around to it. Her mom was gone and there was nothing that Del could do… Tears began to develop in her eyes as she sat on her bed. Her watery brown eyes moved to Toby, who was so peacefully asleep. Should she tell him? He did not care much for her family but she needed him. Right now more than anything, she really felt like he was all she had left. She had siblings and cousins but they didn’t really stick but a few of them and even those few she did not talk to that much. Toby was her family for now and for as long as possible. A shaky hand set on Toby’s shoulder and slowly shook him. “Toby… I need you to wake up…” Her voice was shaky and scratchy. She did not know what she looked like or anything like that. For some reason she could not remember. She shook him again a little harder this time. She climbed over him and off the bed. “Come on… I need you to wake up please… There is a family emergency… My… my mom is dead…. I need to go to the hospital.” She choked out as she put on her pajama bottoms. She never slept with pants or shorts or something on. The feeling of something on her legs always made her feel confined. She sighed as she looked over to him. She found a post it off of the desk that was hers. She scribbled a note telling Toby to met her at the hospital. She then stuck the post it to his forehead. She threw on a sweatshirt and grabbed her tote bag and keys. Once she reached the hospital, a nurse asked her a few questions but Del blew her off. She has been here enough to know where the emergency surgery waiting room was. Everyone that was there seemed to be like zombies. She knew how they felt since she felt the same way. On the way here, she decided that she would be strong for every one else. They needed her even if they did not want to admit to it. She would not show emotion until she was home again in Toby’s arms and away from everyone else’s eyes. She looked up at the clock and it was barely three in the morning. So she found the couch and pulled her sketch book out and began to sketch. It was the one thing that kept her sane at the moment. She sketched while her parents were fighting and getting their divorce. She sketched through her break up with Isaac. Now she was sketching because of the lose of her mother. Once the clock hit ten, Del was starting to feel hungry and thirsty. She had not slept the whole time she was here. How could she… not when she had to go down to the coroner’s office to make sure that her mother was on the table and really died. She was the one that was died. Her mom, the one that Del thought it would take five world wars before her mom would even inch towards Death and instead there she was on the cold metal table in some drawer died. That was at seven in the morning shortly after the coroner got done with the autopsy. Getting up from the couch that she was in which was shared by the occasional kid or so, she looked around at everyone else. She took a deep breath and tried to figure out what to say. She had to step up and fill up the shoes over a position that she should not be in. But since Hannah or Ransom has not shown up yet, she figured that she would have to do it. “Does anyone want any coffee or food… I am thinking about hitting vending machines… and the coffee pot.” She said out loud as she looked around at the zombies that once used to the Johns members. She figured she would stand there for a minute longer before she decided to walk off to the coffee and candy on her own. [/style]
