<div class="floatright"><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/YTtVcbg.png?1)<br/>Some extra images (NSFW) (https://imgur.com/a/NJmB9dx)</div></div><strong>Name:</strong>Brook Harrell<br/><strong>Age:</strong>27<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'6"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>143lbs<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong>Brown<br/><strong>Eye Color:</strong>Brown - Wears colored contacts, typically blue or green.<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Bisexual<br/><strong>Basic Description:</strong>The images cover most of it pretty well. She has a few moles, most annoyingly being the one at the upper end of her nosebone. The only tattoo Brook has is on her right thigh, and was something she got while going to college. As for attire, when out and about she usually defaults to skinny-jeans and a nice blouse, typically in brighter colors, or if she has no plans, a hoodie. For home-wear, she defaults to PJ-pants and a hoodie or tank-top, depending on the temperature. She's decently fit, but most of it comes from having work that keeps her on her feet, she rarely exercises beyond that.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>A tired optimist would be a fair way of describing Brook's general attitude. She effortlessly downplays her own problems, and has gotten pretty good at pretending that things are better than they are, even if the cracks start to show when she's feeling cornered. Though she used to be fairly introverted when she was younger, she managed to turn that around during college to a semi-functioning outgoing attitude, pushed further by having jobs in customer service. She has a mean habit of being a little too generous, self-sacrificial if you will, even when it bites into her own personal comfort and stability.<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong>In her childhood, Brook was the typical Sunday school kid. Only child, well-educated parents with good jobs, and glasses so thick they could stop a bullet. Good at studying, bad at sports, reliable but unsociable, the list goes on, like something straight out of a coming of age B-movie. Not much changed until college. She got good grades throughout the entirety of it, and had more or less free pickings when it came to picking college. The downside to it all was that Brook wasn't feeling all that motivated, and hadn't laid out much of a plan. Having free pickings led to making an unmotivated choice, taking up loans to get a masters degree in chemistry.<br/><br/>During these years, having moved out and moved far away from home, she grew up in a sense. The glasses were replaced with contact lenses, some attention was paid when picking out clothes, making an effort to become more outgoing. In retrospect, she'd come to view these years as some of her better ones, having finally developed some personality. First after college Brook realized how little she actually cared about the field she'd spent five years educating herself on. Brook moved back to Raven City, and found herself work at the lab for a company that made dish-soap. Not the most exciting, but it was a good position all things considered, and having started to receive the bills from her loans, it was hard to deny the position when it was offered. But two years of analyzing the molecules that made soap soap, with coworkers twenty years her senior, ground away any interest she had in the field. She threw in the towel and handed in her resignation, regretfully that also left her unemployed. Having little interest in her field, she looked around for just about anything else, and eventually found herself a part-time job in the city hall archives. She found herself enjoying it far more than she had with the chemistry job, but it wasn't enough to pay her rent, let alone her student loans on top of that.<br/><br/>Finding another job she could balance with her hours at the city hall was a challenge and a half, but Brook eventually managed to talk herself into the position of barista at a coffee shop. Between the two jobs, she works roughly full time without counting for double shifts, and has just about enough to live on better food than rice and beans. All in all, she lives a scarily mundane life, balancing a hectic worklife with hobbies.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Booksmart - Brook is an academic through and through, even if she doesn't capitalize on it. She's used to running into problems and figuring out how to unweave them, break them down, and solve them. At least on paper.</li><li type="disc">Aikido - A skill Brook picked up during college. Though she only practiced it for a few years, several years in the past, she still knows a few of the techniques and throws.</li><li type="disc">Musical - As a grand surprise to absolutely nobody who knew her back when she went to school, Brook was a band kid. Back in those days, she played the clarinet, nowadays its mostly electric guitar. She's not amazing, but she knows a handful of styles and a few more difficult riffs.</li></ul><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Financially unstable - TL;DR Brook is poor. She's making ends meet, but that's about as far as it goes. She only has a bit left on the top after rent, utilities and food, and her solution for surprise expenses is either more shifts or defaulting on her loan - Not like she's ever going to finish paying it off anyway. She's a penny pincher and rarely affords herself to spend on herself.</li><li type="disc">Not so handy - Beyond changing a lightbulb or two, Brook isn't handy in the slightest. She struggles with basic furniture assembly, and wouldn't dare to try anything more complicated like fixing appliances or performing minor repairs at home. She's gotten fairly acquainted with her landlord over the years.</li><li type="disc">Conflict-shy - It's not difficult to make her bury her view on a matter, a little bit of resistance is usually all it takes to make her drop.</li></ul><strong>Other notes:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Brook's usual way to get to and from work is by motorcycle - She owns an older model Yamaha V-max, gifted from her uncle. Having little money or know-how in regards to taking care of it however, it sounds like it's on its last legs and barely runs without a lot of throttle. She has managed to borrow an old sedan from a coworker at the city hall, but wants to return it at first chance.</li><li type="disc">The relationship with her parents has been strained ever since she quit the chemist job and went with "less desirable jobs".</li><li type="disc">Though she is a habitual smoker, she rarely does it in the presence of people who don't also smoke.</li></ul><strong>Ons:</strong>Toys, anal, oral, casual nudity, shower/bath-tub sex<br/><strong>Maybe:</strong>Multiple partners, light BDSM<br/><strong>Offs:</strong>Typical toilet stuff, heavy BDSM<br/><strong>O/O thread:</strong>A bit old, but still roughly accurate.
