Bria Crawford
The sharpened woman who offers a negative vibe about herself when displaying her character. Crawford (born February 12th, 1990) is one of the toughest human-beings in disguise from her appearance. She usually lets people underestimate her for the amusement when in reality she is not one to be reckoned with. She considers herself an army of just one that doesn't need anyone by her side when endearing assistance, generally that she can handle her own. Brass knuckles and nasty talk describe this girl most of the time; she has her moments where she could be brash and yet sometimes gentle depending on her mood, or who is around her. Her main ambition is to defeat the one and only Mercy Madison and she'll be content with her span.
Bria Crawford would be considered the opposing image for society from her appearance. Coming from a rough environment, she had been introduced to pessimism by her awful parents Wade (father) and Diana (mother) Crawford. After years of torture and drama within her hometown, she decided to maneuver to a more secluded capital only to find herself in the same mess; if not, worse.

BIOGRAPHY
Early Life
"Yall kno' the deal. Breazy Bria up in hea' now, TURN UP! But yea... I be just doin me. I didn't have the brightest childhood at all, far from it. But I aint complainin. Livin in the hood without all the shit that happened to me would'a got my ass killed."
Brianna Crawford was born in Chicago, Illinois during February of 1990 to a small low-class African-American unit, about a year after her parents tied the knot and married to become an official item. Her mother had a great feeling that Bria was going to develop as a feisty woman in spite of her wild wriggling inside her stomach. Her inferences were fairly correct and it wasn't a surprise.
The family of three lived in the projects of West Garfield Park for as long as they knew, and they never attempted to move out of the city at all because Wade proved too lazy to avoid the crimes. As far as the violence went around Chicago, he seemed to love it. It wasn't long before her parents parted ways and they both grew careless toward anything important; but she was gained the custody of living with her mother. By the age of twelve, Bria contained a mind of her own but was led down the wrong path.
Diana Crawford developed a fetish for cocaine, and was usually out during late nights engaging in parties and clubs. Bria didn't really think much of it because it only granted her more freedom, especially since her father had been away from the household. This happened on a daily basis as Bria went out to roam the streets without the guidance of her mother. She often ran into heartless men who loved to stir trouble with her. She often felt depressed in the end because no one truly took care of her.
Bria spent a year trying to survive on her own without any tender, loving care. She frequently tried calling her father every now and then, but apparently Wade had more priorities to deal with than to pay attention to his only daughter. During the weekends where Bria had to be with Wade, she would always enter his home only to gape at women with dollar bills scattered messily on the floors. Despite being at a juvenile age, Bria was well aware about what her father did for living, she just could not understand why. Overtime, Wade started to act possessive and inward which caused his daughter to feel shaken.
Back and forth, switching her lifestyle between her two parents, Bria began to finally fair against the grain. But it was only a matter of time after two years when she found out that Diana contained a living spirit within her belly. Soon, she found herself as an older sister to newborn Nate. She was not fond of Nate’s father, because he always offered the cold shoulder. Diana did not care that Bria was treated poorly by her second husband; she cruelly placed Bria below everything that didn't matter to her.
By the time Brianna reached her 16th year of age, she went through severe mental and physical agony. Nate’s father, known for his violent acts around the dangerous town, began to shift his attention from Diana to Bria in a very sexual manner. Tony Mansfield a.k.a T-Money, his name was, tortured Bria throughout her childhood. Whenever Diana left the house to run her personal errands, Tony usually prowled himself into Brianna’s room to shut the door behind him with the girl in it. Whenever she tried to reject him, he bluntly slapped her in response until she stripped off her clothes to satisfy him. Bria often complained and informed her mother about the harm and abuse she dealt with, but Diana often waved her off in a dismissive act, ignoring the cries from her daughter.
Eventually the sexual abuse became a daily routine for Bria; she never once spoke in defiance to Tony, fearful that he may kill her. That alone helped Bria prosper into a cold hearted woman who showed no kindness or compassion. She had no tolerance for nonsense outside her home, though. The only being she smiled at was toward her half-brother Nate, who was too innocent as a baby to understand her pain. During her free time, Brianna usually spent it with Nate watching Go Diego, Go! as it were his favorite television show.
Southside Broads
"SSB all daaay~ ahahaaaaaa, no... screw 'em all. They all fake slimes n' hoes lookin for attention. I aint gonna lie, I shared my time with them when I was younger and offered my support, but that was in the past. And my ass was stupid."
In 2007, Bria had enough. She considered committing suicide to stop her suffering, but was not brought upon herself to end her life. Ever since her father Wade abandoned the household, and Diana welcomed Tony in their lives, her childhood had been miserable. Running as far as she could from the danger was all Bria thought would work... and so she did, one night. But it was not far, because around the corner of her street, she bumped into a cliche of teen girls near the same age as her who also had trouble adjusting to life due to violence. Not able to defend herself against a group of eight, she was beaten, pummeled and stomped to the near death. Brianna held her own well enough that it impressed the dominant damsel of the group.
Bria thought her life was over that night, but she only had been tested as a potential member of the Southside Broads. Tammy Turner accepted her into the gang as well as the rest of the other girls, ironically reassuring her that she was safe. Bria did not turn them down in fact, she was added to their roster because she felt like maybe Southside Broads was where she belonged. She thought by joining a gang that she’d gain the respect she lacked from home. As a tradition of SSB, all girls needed to have a surname. Eventually, Brianna debuted her street-alias as Breazy.
Her delinquent mind led her to make absurd choices and decisions. Months into adapting the new expectations of the gang, she surmised to get multiple tribal tattoos over both her triceps and across her chest. Brianna wanted be a trademark of her own despite being in a crowd of similar personalities. While she had long black nappy hair, she wanted to roughen her appearance by dying it dark carmine, also converting to braids, and then dreadlocks. It made her a unique individual compared to the other females in SSB. The humans of Chicago knew full well who Bria Crawford was after her debut with the group of womanly thugs. It was pleasant, but at the same time vile for her protection.
It wasn’t long until drama unfolded around the group of girls. One of them who befriended Bria while welcoming her, Destiny, stirred negativity with a stranger girl downtown which ended up causing war. Bria quickly came to see that the gang lifestyle was anything but glamorous and fun. Any initiation could involve stealing, fighting or even killing. Sure, she thought on the bright side that she may get some cash every so often—that’s been stolen. Wearing the crew’s colors is also cool. Bria also pondered about enjoying some of the excitement at times, but it’s not long before her life would consist of doing things that could get her arrested or even killed.
In a way, Bria thought of SSB as her second family. Where ever she went, they followed. They always made her feel secure since she was not alone anymore. But the violations they involved themselves with dragged Brianna into a harvest of anxiety. One moment they encounter another street-affiliation and fight over suppression. The next, SSB finds themselves rob separate civilians for their currency, attire, etc. and it truthfully satisfied Bria. Since she lived in such a troubled city, why not embrace the circumstances of Chicago and wear it?
T-Money
"I aint ever gonna forget that dude for as long as I live. I hate him... I dont know what ma' saw in him that was so dayum attractive 'n appealin. But rip to Destiny, she was real. She tried to save me against all those men that owned me in my own crib. Fuck Tony and his squad... But shoutout to daddy tho, muah!"
On the 3rd of June, a phone-call was delivered to her cell phone from Tony while at her job as a cashier. He ordered for her assistance in selling his tobacco to a famous pimp known in the east coast of Chicago, since he wishes not to do it due to simple laziness. He threatened her, emphasizing the fact at how his life is jeopardized depending on if the tobacco reaches the drug dealer in time. Bria wanted to refuse his bidding, and consider entrapping him with her girls. She sincerely did not regard Tony as someone meaningful, and could care less about his fate since he put her through anguish as a child. Why would she help him, when all he did to her was mutilate? She eventually followed what her brain believed, and rejected Tony’s request. He was angry by this, and sought out to deprive Bria of existence... so he said to her. Bria did not bother to call her mother since she never really displayed any concern when in hazard whereabouts. Southside Broads were not informed either, because Bria wanted to handle this on her own.
That same day, Tony arrived in front of Brianna’s house with company-- four men with black leather jackets and low faded haircuts. As to no surprise, Diana was not home. Brianna looked out of her window expectantly after hearing the clicks of a car-door shutting, but her heart skittered faster than ever before after her eyes traced the sight. She kicked herself for not thinking beyond the possibilities, like being outnumbered when it came to Tony; she regretted not contacting her gang. Tony entered the house with the four fellows, yelling out Bria’s name. She squeezed in the time she could bare by texting her father through device out of panic for help. There was no reply from his device, and again she was ready to brace her demise.
Bria sneakily slipped her pocket-knife into her bra from inside her dresser, holding in her fear while descending the stairway to meet Tony and his men. Not even a couple of steps when reaching the floor, Tony assaulted Brianna before she could even prepare herself. His men joined in eventually, physically pounded her until she could not hold herself to stand. Bria could not naturally meet their ties of strength, and was thrown around by them. Her body was battered, and was on the verge of death. Destiny coincidentally appeared at Bria’s house, unaware that her friend and partner in crime was being thrashed by overpowered men. Casually shifting to glance through the living room window, Destiny gawked at the horrific scenery and busted through the entrance of the small house to aid Brianna. Bria could only watch helplessly as the men beat Destiny to a pulp. In a desperate attempt to save Destiny, Bria tried to use her blade to at least kill the man of her nightmares, but the tables turned on her. She was not killed, miraculously, but it was unfortunate for Destiny; the girl who had not even been prepared for such ludicrous was critically pierced through her heart and chest by Bria’s own weapon.
It was bad timing, but Brianna soon heard Wade’s roars from the outside. She grew even more fearful of her father’s outcome result. Tony was infuriated now, and attempted to use Brianna as a hostage. Before anyone could blink, Wade too entered the house and shot down each of the four men swiftly with a pistol he brought, hoping to dear God that he didn’t cap a bullet through Bria by any chance. He had the holster aimed toward Tony, ready to blow his brains out but T-Money had Bria in his grasp, her own blade to her neck ready to slice across by his physical command. She had been in tears, not able to contain her inner pride. T-Money threatened that he would kill Brianna if Wade didn’t drop his gun, and that forced Wade to desperately let go of his pistol. The stepfather of the household dominated this confrontation, ordering Wade to force Bria to deliver the illegal substance to the east side dealer otherwise known as Blaze, if Wade wanted his daughter back. Wade insisted on taking the task, relieving Tony. Eventually Bria was released and found herself crying into her father.
Millennium City
"I aint gon' lie, but this place is even more terrifyin' than Chicago. Hea', you got them vamps, werewolves, demons, aliens, hybrids 'n shit like that to kill you if you fuck up just a tad! Millennium wasn't what I expected but fuck it, this'll help me develop into an even better bawse than I was before."
PERSONALITY
- Passionate Sports Girl - Brianna loves her sports, no doubt. She grew up watching basketball for as long as she could remember, watching almost every game. Let's not mention the post-season.
- Sassy Black Woman - She can be nice when deciding to be although it is rare. It is best not to engage with her attitude because there is no telling if she may just physically break your limb. Her short temperament usually led her into brawls when young, and it still happens to her at 23 years old.
- The Lad-ette - She loves sporting activities, beer, cars, swearing and competition. Bria can be crude, rude, often hygienically challenged and cheerfully ignorant and aggressive. If you are a guy, she'll probably challenge you to a fight, stand victorious and then start teasing you mercilessly for as long as she lives. Brianna talks in a slang fashion as a signature of her symbol; where she evolved, West Garfield Park was loaded with vulgar language.
- I Have You Now, My Pretty - As a teenager, Brianna had to go through devastating and scarring times with her stepfather where he would sexually molest her when Diana had been out of the household. It was as if Tony had been satisfied at all times. This caused Bria to develop with a mental scab, and she at one point later in life caught herself in Tony's position because of her monotonous experience with sex, dominating ones smaller than her. She eventually had a breakdown from the revolting nightmares she fed off from, and made a vow to pull herself away from the cruel treatment she often delivered to those frail of her. For a fact, Bria knew she wasn't Tony, and wasn't going to transform into him. Nowadays, she could still feel the urges to entice, but successes to keep herself in check.
- Things Get Real - Brianna doesn't take her soul as a parody; if she notes a situation where her life is being severely jeopardized, she will go out of her way to make sure harm stays from near her... nothing will stop her. She has the mental state to kill whom ever it is first, before she is the the first to lay dead.
- Death Is A Sad Thing - Throughout her life, Bria could only witness murders before her eyes. While she was in SSB, one of the girls in the group was violently killed at the corner of her street. Death is a difficult enough matter for adults to deal with. It's no surprise that children find it especially painful when they meet their demise, because it isn't natural. Brianna learned that life is too short to grieve, and stay doing her business.
APPEARANCE
- Face of a Thug - Bria contains a hardened expression usually all the time. Her eyes show the true pain of what she had to deal with practically her entire life. You'd have to be a really close friend to her if you expect to see her smile at all.
- Facial Markings - On the right side of her face, there is a large, red scar plastered over Bria's eye caused by Mercy Madison. She thinks it makes her look ugly, but people have told her that it actually makes her twice more attractive than without the marking.
- Tattooed Crook - Brianna's body is covered in tattoo ink, mainly displaying tribal designs. It more so traced her persona as a criminal when associated with Southside Broads. But now, she must live with them forever. Bria often now refers to her tattoos as a fashion accessory.
- Dark-Skinned Redhead - It isn't usually acknowledged by many people, but Bria is a redhead. She has dark carmine dreadlocks, which she dyed late in her childhood, and crispy brown skin. While being dark is not a particularly alien choice, it is more often used to reflect a bouncy, energetic, fiery personality than actual nationality. It is a distinctive feature; Breazy is referred to by others such as 'the girl with the dreads'.
- Femme Fatale - Bria is attractive and she knows it. She can use her good looks to gain advantage over anything she could put her mind to... well maybe, almost. Based off of just appearances to a plus, she looks as though she can fight brutally and defend herself when need be, which is a full package. She is no nonsense. Men in despite of Bria's defiant and tough demeanor still cannot resist her however.
- Black Boss Lady - Bria Crawford is one of a kind, and proud to call herself black. Before she left Chicago to transport to Millennium City, she left impressions that left most jaw-broken... even the most intimidating men. The scarred woman often calls herself a boss, because of the accomplishments and stunts that she pulled throughout her life while also overcoming her struggling emulations. The community around Bria incredulously acknowledges the fact that Bria is one of the most successful goons that breathe to this day. Sure, she's been stabbed and sexually abused, but you still see her standing defiant and not under the graves.
- Even The Girls Want Her - It isn't just the men who find Bria appealing; the women do as well. Her body strikes as a very curvaceous figure... well, unless wearing heavy urban clothing like sweat pants and a casual hoodie. Crawford is noticeably tall for a lass with shoulder-length dreadlocks. Despite not being too thin, she isn't too thick either. Her bust is considerable, followed by her build being well-toned. Women in both Chicago and Millennium City have approached her seductively in the past.
POWERS & ABILITIES
- Kung-Fu Clairvoyance - Bria uses the Aikido style of martial arts majority of the time when in combat. She has mastered it sometime ago after her devastating defeat by Mercy. Unlike before, she is very confident of dismantling anyone that steps in her way.
- I Can Still Fight - Just when you think Bria is done and over with in a fight, she'll usually get right back up. Her adrenaline surpasses most that she knows; she is graceful to accept the fact that she was born a fighter. Her stamina can consist for a long period of time, unless her heart stops beating. Historic scenes that prove this trope of her was the fight against the Southside Broads before she had been affiliated with them and Mercy during that school day.
- Deadly Delivery - Almost like how a criminal or terrorist poses as a package courier or mailman to deliver a bomb, or get the target to open the door so he can be shot or kidnapped. Brianna uses herself as a package when within her carries a sharp pocketknife. She has used it on many victims before, and she will not hesitate to act if necessary.
- Fists of Rage - It is highly recommended not to mess with Brianna. Her hands can be her deadliest weapons.
- Victory By Endurance - Sometimes, the one who wins a battle is simply the last man standing, and Bria is frequently the favor. She revolves around ensuring that her will—either over an extremely long period of time or after great expenditure of energy—is the deciding factor in the battle. This is usually her main tactic whenever in combat. Bria waits for her target to either run out of gas, collapse, or die altogether.
