<strong>Brandy</strong><br/><br/>(http://i54.tinypic.com/2ecj5lt.jpg)<br/><br/>Brandy was close with all of the family; however, her and her mom were like best friends.  They did everything together.  It was extremely hard on her after the incident five years ago.  For many weeks, Brandy trapped herself in her room, kept herself locked away from the rest of the family.  She sulked over her mother's death alone, not wanting to talk to anyone.  When she finally came out of her shell, she quickly found things to do, anything to keep her mind off of what happened.  So she wouldn't think about it, or even have time to, she filled her daily schedule to the max with actitivites in school, after school, and had her friends around constantly.  Since Brandy had been in school, from the time she was little, she was always in sports and extracuricular activities.  She had always been a cheerleader, the best one on the team and soon to be captain.  And just recently, since she started her sophmore year in HS, she joined the track team, along with a few social clubs to keep her in touch with all the haps.  She made sure she always had something to do or someone with her to distract her mind from the tragic death of her mother that lingered in the back of her thoughts.<br/><br/>After the accident, Brandy grew closer to her father and sister.  Since she no longer had her best buddy, she found herself spending more time with the only two family members she had left.  She had always been both a daddy's girl and a mommy's girl.  Because she was the youngest in the family at age 16, she was often showed more attention and given in to when she wanted something, whatever it may have been.  In return, though, which applied to Emma as well, she had to obey her father.  She did this willingly, because she loved her father.  She had always respected him and did as she was told.  He was a great role-model for the girls, and they both looked up to him, dearly.  Especially now with Melinda gone, Brandy was even more determined to meet her father's will and do as he commanded.<br/><br/>Brandy loved her older sister, Emma, even more so when she tried her best to comfort her and be there for her as mom would have done.  For that, she was thank ful.  However, not too long after the car crash, she found herself upset with Emma.  Brandy couldn't imagine someone taking the place of her mom.  The thought alone killed her inside.  She knew there was no other lady in the world who could fill her mother's shoes, no matter how hard she tried.  With this feeling inside, you can imagine how angry Brandy felt when her sister tried to force women onto their father, to get him to love again, move on with his life, have a new one with someone else.  She resented Emma for that.  But since Brandy grew older and was now capable of understanding such complexity, she had forgiven her sister.  She understood and accepted why Emma did what she did, even if it still upset her.<br/><br/>
