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, 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.
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.
PERSONALITY
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 like '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. From her experience, both men and women generally drool over her.
