PhysiqueStanding at a slight 5'6, there isn't really much to Brie when it comes to musculature or fat. She's naturally of a slim body habitus, which has only been compounded by years of poor nutrition. Her time at H.E.R.O has allowed her to eat regularly and exercise, so she at least looks more healthy these days. Although she's fair in complexion, she does tan easily and has a good smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose.
She has several tattoos dotted around her body, most of which are on her arms, although there are a few more hidden ones. She doesn't like to discuss her tattoos or the meaning of them, and generally gets annoyed when people point them out. She also has a few piercings, including a few on her ears and one on her bellybutton.
Her hair is dark brown and is usually either worn in loose waves or tied up in a messy bun, whilst her eyes are probably her most outstanding feature, being a bright green colour. If she starts to absorb too much nearby electricity, they will begin to turn white in colour.

PersonalityBrie is a tough cookie to crack. Her upbringing has made her wary of others, and upon first meeting her, most would describe Brie as standoffish and aloof. She sees little point in getting to know others, assuming that they will eventually leave her. She does not share her emotions easily and is skilled at adopting a mask to hide what she is really feeling. Many are surprised when they found out that she is working for H.E.R.O, however Brie likes to insist that she is purely in it for the money and that she could care less about the wellbeing of the Castleburgs citizens.
Brie has never been good with authority and constantly struggles with taking orders from H.E.R.O. She will tolerate working in a team but is known for going astray on more than one occasion. She also sees little point in trying to fine-tune her powers, liking them as they are...which has led to the
occassional blackout.
However, underneath her hard exterior, Brie has a wicked sense of humour and natural charisma that, when she lets people in, draws others to her. Although it would surprise those at H.E.R.O, she is an extrovert and enjoys being around others...not that she would ever admit it. Akin to the rest of her family, she was born with the gift of the gab, and when she chooses to, can spin a very believable lie.
BackstoryBorn in the underprivileged borough of Brookside, Brie's upbringing was tumultuous, to say the least. Her parents, being heavy drug users and often in & out of prison, were absent from her early childhood. Instead she was raised by her brother, Wyatt, who was eight years her elder. The pair survived for a while, squatting in the high-rise where their parents had once lived, scrounging food off their neighbours when they could, stealing when people became less generous.
However when Brie was only seven years old, Wyatts fell in with the wrong crowd, following in his parents footsteps as he fell down the path of drugs and debauchery. Left alone and with no-one to care for her, Brie was eventually taken into care, bouncing from one foster family to the next. A scrawny kid, Brie was often made fun of by the others, but she could hold her own and was frequently punished for getting into fights. Whilst most foster families were apathetic at their worst, using Brie as a means of income, some were downright cruel.
Brie first discovered her powers when she was only nine years old. For years she had noticed that lights would sometimes flicker when she entered a room or that the TV would lose signal when she was annoyed, but she always assumed that it was just a coincidence. However her powers truly came to fruition when she was staying with one particularly unsavoury foster family. They were not only neglectful but physically abusive, and one day when she was trying to defend herself, she accidentally electrocuted her foster father. He lived...after he woke up from the six months coma.
Scared of what the authorities might do to her if they found out about her powers, Brie ran away. For years she lived on the streets, sometimes squatting with friends, othertimes simply finding a quiet alleyway to hide in. When she was seventeen, she got a job as a bartender at a particularly unsavoury joint in the slums of Brookside. It was there that Brie stumbled across her brother. Unbeknownst to her, Wyatt had discovered powers of his own, the abiity to read and manipulate the minds of others. He had used this to gather a gang of low levels villains, intent on getting revenge on the city that had dealt him such a bad card. Upon finding out about her powers, Wyatt persuaded her to come work for them. By the time Brie was eighteen, Wyatts gang had gained notoriety in Brookside, having a monopoly over the crime in that part of the city.
At first Brie was simply happy to be reunited with her brother, however she soon came to realise that she was not always in control of her actions and that she had periods that she simply could not recall. Realising that her brother was controlling her, she managed to trap him during one particularly tricky bank heist, using her powers to keep him locked in one of the most secure volts in the city. Since then, her brother has been taken to Coldwater, whilst Brie recently became a member of H.E.R.O.
Powers'Back off': Brie can generate electromagnetic fields and use these to create barriers or shields that can block attacks. These are usually limited to her immediate area.
'Lights out': Brie can manipulate the electrical current within pieces of technology. Usually she just uses this for day-to-day tasks or to annoy others, but it can have more useful practicalities. Theoretically, this can even be used to fix broken devices...but she's never tried.
Elecro-blast: Brie can fire powerful blasts of electrical energy. Usually, this is in the form of an arc of electrical current, lightning strikes or even a ball of electricity.
Bio-electricity: Brie has a limited ability to manipulate the bio-electric currents that naturally run throughout her body. By manipulating the currents in her muscles when she is running, she is able to increase her speed, although currently, this is only to the point where she is slightly faster than the average human.
Weaknesses: Brie is unable to generate electricity, save for small amounts which would only be enough to say power a lightbulb, therefore she relies on external sources to fuel her powers.
Others:Brie has a particular soft spot for stray cats and dogs, often taking the odd one into her flat for a few days, so that she can feed it up and tend to any wounds.
Brie has been a bad habit of going out to bars or clubs, and often turns up to work hungover, much to the chargrin of those in charge.
