Branwen Adelina Couch
Reincarnation of Sailor Lead Crow and an alternate Sailor Uranus
Nicknames: Bran, Brannie
Gender: Female
Apparent Age: (What age do they look like?) 17
What “Era” do they hail from? Crystal
Hobbies: Collecting jewelry and shiny things; gambling, racing and other forms of competition; painting; baking, exercise
Bad Habits: Gambling, bad temper; eating too many of the sweets she bakes, working out to the point of utter exhaustion trying to work off those sweets... which probably counts as an eating disorder, right?
Personality: Bran's biggest personality trait is her competitive nature. She can turn most anything into a contest (often complete with wagers), and gets a high off of winning even if the wager is small and insignificant. She also enjoys organized gambling (poker, slots, blackjack, etc.) and sports betting. With such an addictive personality, it's amazing she's not a drunk or drug addict, but that's mostly because she's such a control freak. She wants to be in complete control of her own faculties at all times. She also wants to be in control of others where she can. She delights in having minions and underlings to boss around; it's her favorite part of being a baddie.
Not to be a redheaded stereotype, but she has quite the temper, which can be easily set off by stupidity, laziness or insubordination from her underlings. Sometimes her temper gets in the way of her clear thinking and causes her to make mistakes, but she's quick to place the blame for any such failures on her underlings.
But she's far from a one-dimensional villain stereotype. In calmer times she can be sweet, kind and affectionate towards those few fortunate enough to make it into her inner circle; she's quick to give away a freshly baked treat or a cuddle if she really likes you. In her downtime she enjoys baking and likes to relax with soft music and a session of painting... or yoga, which is one of her favorite forms of exercise. She often exercises to the point of exhaustion, especially after she feels she's eaten too much or eaten too many sweets.
Appearance: Bran stands 5'6" tall, with a slender build and a modest chest. Her skin is a vibrant peach color that tans easily when she's out in the sun a lot. She has a heart-shaped face with high cheekbones and a sharp chin. Her large, round eyes are a light brown in color and set wide apart on her face, her nose is sharply pointed and she has a small mouth with thin lips. There's a small mole near her mouth (she's not vain enough to call it a "beauty mark"). Her hair is curly and naturally cherry red in color, cut to her chin, and commonly sports a couple of small braids which are decorated with shiny baubles. She's almost never seen in a skirt, preferring jeans or black slacks, commonly topped with button down shirts or fashionable tops; her favorite colors tend towards the warm end of the spectrum, the yellows, oranges and reds. Most commonly her shoes are sneakers, loafers or furry boots; only on very special occasions will she wear anything with a heel of more than an inch. She's also a jewelry fiend, especially with earrings. She's never seen without at least one piece of jewelry on, probably more.
Why/How did they get corrupted by Chaos? In her past life, Galaxia pulled her in by offering to make her a Sailor Senshi. Similarly, in her current life, an agent of Chaos lured her in with the promise of power, a place to live where she would be loved and accepted... and shiny jewelry. The shiny jewelry definitely played a part.
Family and Close Ties:
In the past:
Sailor Galaxia was her boss and the lady who lured her in with promises of becoming a senshi. She ruled with an iron fist and the power of intimidation.
Sailor Aluminum Siren was her best friend and greatest rival. Although she seemed dizzy, she was actually much smarter and more cunning than she let on.
Sailor Tin Nyanko was her second partner and rival. Although she seemed cute, she was really ruthless and willing to kill anyone who got in her way.
In her current life:
Aeron Couch, 42, is her father. He works as a police officer, and was big on the kids learning how to defend themselves, especially his daughter, so as not to become victims. They're currently estranged.
Nerys Couch (nee Kendrick), 45, is her mother. She works as a sign language interpreter and made sure to teach the kids to sign, too. They're currently estranged.
Owain Couch, 19, is her big brother. He goes to college and hopes one day to be a molecular biologist. Luckily he has a scholarship, since his parents are too poor to afford tuition on their own. While he has no grudge against his sister, himself, he hasn't tried to contact her since she left home.
History:
The first life of hers that we care about was back in the 1990s when she existed as Sailor Lead Crow. Originally she was just an ordinary girl from the planet Coronis, where the people can turn into crows at will. But under Galaxia's influence, she killed the real Sailor Coronis and took her powers. She became the leader of the Sailor Animamates, who helped Galaxia take over much of the Milky Way galaxy for her empire. When they came to Earth she was paired with her greatest rival, Sailor Aluminum Siren. Even though she felt in competition with the other woman, the two were actually good friends and she even shed tears when her rival died. She spent the rest of her life trying to complete the mission they started, and died with her friend's name on her lips.
The only other life that matters to us began much later, during the time of Crystal Tokyo. Branwen Couch was born November 6th in the small city of Bangor in NW Wales, the second child of Aeron (a local police officer) and Nerys (a sign language interpreter). She was competitive from early childhood, always trying to beat her friends at games and betting with them on who could hold their breath longest, among other things. She was a mix of tomboy and girly girl, loving activities like racing and baking fairly equally. She never really excelled in school, except as Hall Monitor. She always did like getting to boss the other kids around. Competitive as she was, most of her friends in school were male. Nobody thought anything about that fact until in 9th grade when she got her first girlfriend, Sian. Her parents, being strong in their Christian faith, freaked out and wondered where they went wrong. They tried everything from punishing her to setting her up with boys to starting prayer circles in an effort to make their daughter not gay, but to no avail. Her parents finally kicked her out and disowned her at the age of 16. She initially tried to go live at Sian's place, but clashed with the girl's parents and left one night out of anger.
With nowhere else to go, and too proud to even try going home to her own family, Bran spent the next few weeks on the street, staying under bridges and trying to earn enough money for food and the occasional night in a motel by gambling. Sometimes she won, sometimes she lost, and you could usually tell which kind of streak she was on just by looking at her. It was on the streets that she met up with an agent of Chaos and was lured into the cause. She has only the faintest recollection of her latest death at the hands of a new generation of senshi, and feels like the reason she was brought back was to avenge her own death... not unlike a certain other Crow...
The Other Me
