Appearance:

Brooke belongs to the petite and slim group of girls. Her medium brown hair goes to about her shoulders, if not just below and layered around her face. Her eyes are a light hazel framed with dark lashes she knows how to use. Her nose is small and punctuated by an average sized mouth that always seems turned up into a smirk.

She usually wears clothes that consist of higher end materials. She prefers simple lines in her shirts, favoring v-neck shirts the most and comfortable dark jeans. She adores boots, and that is one of the main reasons why she wears them with almost everything and anything. Her favorite jacket is a light tanned leather thing with sleek lines, no fuss detailing and no pockets. She’s a thief, she wouldn't want anything picked from her.

beneath the surface.
Personality:

Brooke was never your run-of-the-mill kind of girl. Considering her beginnings and that she was brought up by people who never fully understood her she found a way to keep to herself and fit in at the same time.

Brooke is a persistent, slightly impulsive, if not head-strong, woman with an insasable curiosity. She often uses sarcasm and random, obscure references to illustrate her point. She takes charge of (or takes over) most situations and is wildly brave, often risking her life by crashing forward, only to have to either frantically talk her way out of or physically defend herself in dangerous situations. Brooke can be very protective of the people she loves.

Brooke's tough exterior seemingly covers underlying insecurities. She never seeks approval from her family and blames her father for her failures. She has self-described herself as a "screw-up" and freely acknowledges when she has worsened a situation. She also talks without thinking, causing her to often seem insensitive.

She can get serious, however, she's not silly-happy-go-lucky all the time, when she's working or worried, she gets serious, and when she gets serious, she tends to get mean and bitchy. She will bitch at anything and pretty much everything. If she knows you well, she'll still bitch at you, but if she doesn't know you all that well, and if you do something she doesn't like, she'll sure as hell scream her heart out. People love her for her bitching, honestly. She can be a pretty selfish girl sometimes, if she has candy, it's hers, what she wants she gets - the end.

Brooke rests between a leader or a follower. She might tell someone what to do, but she won't let anyone tell her what to do, which had caused a bit of trouble in the past with teachers and her parents. If there's one thing she hates it's to be patronised, and it's one of the things that make her lose her cool quite easily. Brooke is calm up until a point, and it takes a while to reach that point, but when she does, suddenly all the anger comes out at once.

Brooke enjoys video games and 1980s rock music. She is also very athletic; she is trained in various sorts of martial arts, runs, and is a good swimmer.

Brooke isn’t exactly trusting by nature. She won't accept any help from anyone and if she does, don't full yourself, shewill want somehting in return! She can be very stubborn and most times she gets herself into a lot of trouble but she really doesn't care. Besides, she can take care of herself and if you get in her way, get ready for some bitch-slapping.

She is very honest, but knows when to keep her mouth shut. Even though Beth is a bit of a tough girl and hides behind the tough exterior she has created for herself she is deep down afraid of life.

Admit it, Brooke Bantum is the player, not the one that gets played. She listens to her instincts, and if they are telling at her to stay away from you, she definately will. And, if they are telling her to beat your ass, she will with satisfaction. That's just how things flow in her world. She prefers to listen to her brain rather than her heart, which most times can emotionally hurt others, but hey, does she even care?

She has a sense of humor and uses much sarcasm. Very down to earth girl and her crazy antics are responsible for a lot of comic relief in her life.

History:

Brooke Bantum is the bold outspoken, perky but often misunderstood brunette. The only daughter of the wealthy Bantum family in Los Angeles, she never wanted for anything, and always looked fabulous doing it. Her parents, although very well off, were also very absent for most of their daughter's childhood and adolescent years. Growing up, Brooke was pretty much alone. Her parents spoiled her, yes, but all they ever did was give her money. They never spent quality time with her. Her father cared a lot more about his military buddies than about his wife and Brooke, and her mother went heavy on the scotch and prada. The lack of authority in her life caused for Brooke’s high school years to be full of parties, drinking, and promiscuity. She began as an average shallow cheerleader, concerned with nothing more than finding cute boys and raging parties. She then followed herself down the road of teenage love. Known for her wild ways, Brooke finally decided to give monogamy a try. Unfortunately, the road did not lead her to happiness when she caught her boyfriend cheating on her with one of the cheerleaders in her team. Brooke, already insecure about the relationship between the one of the most important people in her life, was heartbroken when she learned of their relationship. Though she put on a brave face, her broken heart could not be hidden forever. A pregnancy scare and more hidden truths damaged the relationship between her and her ex further.

Change was imminent for Brooke a few months later. Once concerned only with boys and booze, she began to think of her future and about herself. When their money situation took a drastic turn for the worse, the Bantums family relocated to Manhattan, New York. Triggered by her parents' sudden loss of money, Brooke was forced to focus on the relationships in her life and her relationship with herself. But in classic 'Bantum Life' style, destruction lurked around the corner. When she was had just turned 17, a vampire came to kill her parents. Her father, as a secret hunter, was somehow warned and knew what was coming and managed to scare it off easily, but not before the vampire swore that he'd come back one day to claim their lives. True to its word, the vampire came back unexpectedly few days later and took away her mother.

As years went by, her father, well... he wasn't happy. He was a former soldier, having served in the Falklands War as a Paratrooper, and it's true what they say; seeing battles really does screw a person up. He wasn't too keen on showing emotions, not even to Brooke. Being the great hunter, his first goal was to track all vampires and kill them one by one, paying for what they did to his family... and so he did.

After graduation, she finally left home and followed herself down the road to college life where she was about to make her dream come true... become a successful journalist. As the turmoil grows in the country, she is on the frontline trying to gain information that will get her one step closer to success, and ofcourse, richer!

Brooke knows what is out there and all about the Winchesters' world, but she's not only interested in saving the world: she's interested in making her own life fun while it lasts also. But underneath the sassy wisecracks and the don't-care-that-much attitude, Brooke seems to be a more complex character. She's a thief for a reason! A year ago, Brooke needed help and a mystery guy offered his help. However, when Brooke's problem was solved and thought everything turned out okay, she couldn't be more mistaken. The mystery guy returned and asked a favor in return. What kind? Well, 'The Boss', as he liked to call himself, hired her as a secret thief to steal personal belongings from hunters and were then sold to get the money. If Brooke didn't agree to her two-year contract, well, lets say her head would be on a stick right now.

Brooke has a kind of defiant honesty about her. She tells the truth about herself, unless she's working a con. Alongside this is her in-your-face prejudice against hunters. But is Brooke wrong about hunters in general or is she just faking it because of her boss? Are they all "revenge-driven"? What all this tells us about Brooke is that she does, indeed, know hunters.

What the future holds for Brooke Bantum and the relationships with the people in her life is still unknown. But, this is Brooke. I mean, you can bet it's not gonna be boring.

How your character feels about life right now At this moment in her life, Brooke is confused. She is currently working for a mysterious man who makes millions of dollars each month just by stealing from hunters and then selling them. Brooke does that too but not because that satisfies her. The mysterious man came to Brooke's life when she needed her and once he helped her solve her problem, he asked for a favor back. Not exactly a favor... a threat. If she didn't work for him he would kill her! Now, Brooke currently waits for the day their deal will end so she can leave town and start living a normal life just like everybody else with no supernatural creatutes.
