Skin Tone: Lightly Tanned
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Owl wings on both shoulders and a
portrait of my mother, Athena, and her owl between my shoulder blades. I have a long, thick scar on my right forearm from where I got sliced open by a sword in my first year in training, and another scar on my abdomen from where a spear pierced me. I get quite competitive in my training. Was nothing. Merely a flesh wound. (Brynn smirks.) As far as piercings go, I took all my piercings out once I began taking my training seriously. Used to have my nose, lower lip and ears pierced.
Personal Style: She has a sort of carefree, "badass" grunge/greaser style she likes to sport when she's not in
full armor. Sometimes a t-shirt and a pair of torn up jeans do the trick for her. She prefers boots and hightop canvas shoes with her jeans, but in shorts, she would prefer sandals or completely barefoot. Her hair is almost always down, except when she is in battle. She ties it up in a tight bun. Every now and again Brynn will put on makeup but tends to leave it off and go with a more natural look. Besides, who has time to put make-up on when they're busy kicking ass? Plus, putting makeup on just to go into battle is absolutely pointless, amirite?
Selfless * Competitive * Observant/Conscientious * Sarcastic * Loyal * Unyielding
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single, not looking
Personality: Brynn, to most, has this "I'm better than you" vibe about her. Like one of those snot-nosed popular brats in high school who thinks everyone is beneath her. Quite the opposite in Brynn's case, except she
does have a serious case of RBF. Brynn is very much about helping others way before she even thinks of herself, she just tends to be super competitive when it comes to training. She tries not to gloat, but sometimes she can't help it. She knows she's good at what she does, but she
does like to help others out and give them pointers, especially the newer campers. She may only be 16, but she kind of acts like the Mother Hen of the Athena cabin, and even with some of the other campers in other cabins as well. She loves working with others but doesn't mind lone wolf missions/training sessions, either. She can work with both. If you really get to know Brynn, she tends to be quite sarcastic. She's loyal to a fault and will do anything and everything in her power to protect her friends.
Fatal Flaw: Indecisiveness
Habits: Drinking herbal tea, playing with her hair, talking to herself, hums and sings to herself, staying up late, usually skips lunch, quite argumentative, etc.
Hobbies: Brynn tends to keep her hobbies to her training and reading. If she's not playing Cap the Flag or training, you'll be able to find her in the cabin reading scrolls or out at the lake reading a novel.

Biography: Brynn's coming to be was anything short of a miracle.. I mean, as are any of Athena's children. Bronwyn was born to a man named
Vernon Knowles. Vern grew up in Oregon but shortly after reaching manhood he fled to the city streets of Brooklyn to take up work, and spend many more years living there. Construction was flourishing at the time, and it seemed he was never out of work. Hardly had any downtime, but Vern knew he'd eventually have to make time in order to someday start a family of his own. Unbeknownst to him, that gift would be granted to him in the form of a little bundle wrapped up in a deep red blanket, a note pinned to the front of it. He'd read the note and realize what he'd been given, and tasked with. He'd go on to tell his family members that he'd decided to adopt a child rather than waste time trying to find someone to be with who could provide a said family for him.. with him.
Vern spent the first few years raising Brynn on his own. As Brynn grew, her abilities began to show through. At the young age of 4, just on the cusp of her 5th birthday, Brynn's father sent her away to camp to begin her training. Being a young child, Brynn didn't take to it too well the first summer. Not only did she not understand why she had been sent there in the first place, but it was also the fact she was nearly killed upon entering the camp that had her freaked out. A manticore chased her into camp, managing to swipe her across her back with its gnarly claws. A satyr and a few older campers heard her screams and came out to fight off the beast, helping her into the safety of the camp. After she was treated for her wounds and calmed down, Brynn was told of who she was and where she came from, and where she was for the summer. Although her mother claimed her right away, upon arriving, she did not get to meet her. Much to young Brynn's disappointment.
She returned home for the school year, and the following year came back with a vengeance to learn all that she could and make her daddy proud. And her mother, Athena, as well of course. Brynn grew to hold no ill-will towards her mother after learning the reasons why her mother had to stay away. Brynn spent years going to camp during the summers until the year 2017 came, Brynn being at the ripe age of 13. It was time to head off back to camp, and she was as excited as ever. Unbeknownst to Brynn, she had been being hunted for several weeks prior. Vern was getting their truck ready to make the trip down to camp when they were attacked by a fairly large cyclops. Unfortunately, there's no happy ending to this story. Without going into too much detail, Brynn's father didn't make it out alive. He sacrificed himself for his daughter's life, and managed to allow her to escape. Luckily by this age, Vern had taught her how to properly drive and she did just that, all the way to camp.
She's been inside the camp walls, since. A fire had somehow been started in their home, so it wasn't very hard to have faked her death. She's since stayed at camp and has made a year-round home out of it. Since her father's death, her training has become more intense and she in herself has become more fierce. She's more than ready to take on her next quest. They help her clear her mind. Sitting around camp for extended periods of time makes her antsy.
How Long Have They Been At Camp Half-Blood: Brynn used to spend only the summers here. She began coming every summer starting in 2009 when she turned 5 in the camp walls. Course you can't have a young Olympian crossing over through the gates of camp without a little game of cat and mouse, can you? So, of course, she was chased into camp. A manticore nearly had killed her on the way in. And as of a few years ago, Brynn has since become a year-rounder.

Brynn has high respect for the boy. He's come so far in the last few years since he arrived at camp and has done nothing but better himself. She's very proud of her friend for coming this far, and looks forward to seeing where this life takes him.
