Appearance: The first thing people notice about Brittany is her long blonde hair, which she’s painstakingly grown out to the small of her back; albeit not without the frustration of split ends and general discomfort. Typically, she’s seen with it pulled back into a ponytail or pigtails, as she dislikes how heavy it feels when let down. Her eyes are a deep shade of blue and the most striking feature of her face, while her nose, lips and ears appear to be normal for her age and size—leading to a pleasant, if not a slightly plain, visage.

At 5’5” and close to 120 pounds, she has a slender appearance defined by toned arms and legs and decently-sized chest that she likes to highlight with push-up bras and snug tops. She tries to stay tanned for as long as she can, but doesn't resort to tanning booths to keep her tone, though she does retain a bit of a light tan color. Seeing as how her family doesn't need to worry about money, Brittany is always decked out in the latest designer clothes (her favorite brand being Abercrombie and Fitch) and makes it a point to push the dress code as far as she can. On the day she was abducted, Brittany was wearing a polo, striped with navy and white, along with a short, possibly bordering on a dresscode infringement, jean skirt and pair of pristine white sneakers, with several gold bangles and hair bobbles around her wrists.

Biography: Brittany Ashworth has known nothing but wealth and the privileges that are associated with such, her father being a prominent businessman while her mother is a high-profile lawyer. Originally being born in California, her family moved to Miami when she was an infant where they flourished and built up their combined fortunes. When she was ten, Brittany's paternal grandfather developed terminal cancer and her father moved the family back to California; he would survive another two years before finally succumbing. Having been very close to her grandfather growing up, Brittany had trouble coping with his death and refused to attend his viewing, not wanting her final memory of him to be his corpse. Brittany still holds her grandfather as a standard for the men she surrounds herself with and refuses to associate with any less, though she’s easily taken in by a charming disposition.  

Two days after her fourteenth birthday, Brittany and her friends were invited to a party thrown by a couple students at Colehurst that had a reputation for wild, out-of-control parties. While she didn't have that much to drink, she found refuge in the form of a seventeen-year-old boy with a similar background; both of his parents were well-known in their profession and he had just lost his favorite uncle in a car accident. They started talking about things and the like, which allowed him to gain Brittany's trust...and it wasn't long that she led him into a bedroom to have sex for the first time in her life. After he took her virginity, Brittany felt the need to try and recreate that scene...word got out and soon, she had a reputation for being promiscuous. Boys would try and woo her in the hopes of a night with her, while most of the girls resented her, but Brittany didn't care too much.

While Brittany has always had a thicker skin than most when it comes to criticism (and expects no less from the people around her), she’s quickly offended when someone brings up her dyslexia, a learning disability that impairs her spelling and how quickly she can read something, typically needing more time than an average student. To make up for her poor marks in classes that require that of her, she immersed herself into her Math and found that she was naturally quite gifted in it, able to solve complicated problems very easily, which she’s not afraid to point out should someone insult her dyslexia.

When tenth grade rolled around, Brittany began to downplay her reputation by saying that the other girls were jealous of her. Furthermore, she focused more on her studies and garnered more attention through her reputation as one of California's best young gymnasts; taking third overall at a statewide meet in San Diego. But the fact that she was a cheerleader also worked against her as more than ever, boys were trying to go after her in the hopes of easy pickings, especially the guys on the football team. And while she has a few girlfriends, mostly on the cheerleading team, she dismisses and even makes fun of those that are less than desirable.

Socially, Brittany is typically considered ‘popular’ considering her standing on the cheerleading team, but there are few outside her circle that can stomach her or even understand her, for that matter. She’s very feisty and lacks a filter, believing it’s her right to say whatever she’s thinking; which some appreciate while others do not. Not that Brittany minds much, because at the end of the day she can only be herself and if people don’t like it, then they don’t have to be around her.

Advantages: Brittany is extremely flexible and her physical fitness can help her out in situations when needed.
Disadvantages: Brittany can be a little too trusting of people she doesn't know, so long as they meet her standards. She also likes to make offensive comments, especially to those that are not like her in regards to appearance and/or financial status. (i.e. a kid that she knows is from a poor section of town), which may make her a lot of enemies.
