Background
Briella Ritter was raised by her mother, Jesselyn Brensoi, who was originally a very strict pious woman* (*- read more about Jesselyn and her background in "Family Background") but after her husband's capture in 1998 was very shaken and left the nannies and other caretakers to look after Briella. However when Briella was 11 and about to start Hogwarts, Jesselyn moved them into Hyde Park and started work in Human Resources for a big pharmaceutical company, by the time Briella was 13 her mother was the Vice President of the company.
Brie has always had a large muggle influence in her life, and never felt bothered by this. Growing up she was never daunted by boys or men; she is rather confident in who she is. This confidence only grew to over-cockiness as the years continued. At 14 she found herself bored of what Hogwarts was teaching her and more curious about her absent father. She remembered him vividly, and remembered the reactions to the Second Wizarding War. Her mother refused to let her go to school and hired private tutors for her. Her father strayed from her mother and her; her mother didn't try to lie. Whenever Brie asked her mother where her father was she told him he was paying his dues for his sins.
At 15 she discovered her father's notebooks detailing every sordid Dark Arts practice he could get his hands on. Spells that were twists on original spells like Confundo- except in this version the Confundo was overlayed with the ability to irritate the victim and make their impatience and ire grow until they became upset and began violently acting out. A lot of the spells in the notebooks were original, she noted silently, but found her eyes gleaming. She loved the idea of this; unadulterated, true power, at the cost of what? Morals and ethics? She couldn't give
two shits about those things and threw them out and begun practicing them.
When she was 16 she kissed her first boy and then her first girl later that year; associating herself as a pansexual. In her romance life and her life around her magic she is fun and smiley, but when it comes to her real work; work in bringing chaos and destruction to the Wizarding World, she is manipulative and saucy. Her innocent features let her get away with much, and there are seldom who can see through her masks; she uses her youthful face to her advantage.
Her major downfall will always be how loose-lipped she becomes when even slightly provoked. She can lie, yes, very easily, but her emotions are extremely volatile and she will revert to honesty when poked in the slightest while emotional. Her main reason for wanting chaos and destruction is simple -
for the pure pleasure she gets out of a need to see redemption for her father's imprisonment. She thinks her father was in the right and agrees that purebloods are superior. Her goal in life is to eventually free the Death Eaters that have been imprisoned and possibly follow a leader - if not become one of others. She knows her place, however, and will submit to any future Dark Leader Figure.
At 18 she changed her last name to 'Ritter' in order to not be stuck in the Brensoi and Selwyn shadow. Her life after Hogwarts is really how she invented herself. She's never had a steady boyfriend or girlfriend - instead partaking in the many pleasures of the flesh that she can find. After graduating from a magical university in France, majoring in International Affairs, she returned to Britain to work in the Ministry. She worked her way to the top and at the age of 26, a year ago, she took on the role of being Head of the International Magic Office of Law.
To anyone who wishes to make friends with Brie - tread lightly around her, be cautious of your words, for she analyzes people, and has a knack for drama. She prefers her fighting to be secretive but can hold her own in a duel. She will always befriend a person before she begins any deceitful acts; she finds it's the best way to worm herself into their life and implode it from the inside. Despite this she takes her work for the Ministry and for her 'cause' (very very underdeveloped, in the first stages of being truly) extremely seriously and does not play around in those two areas of her life.

Family Background
- Jesselyn Brensoi: the fourth child of 7, chose not to stay in the family business of Potioneering under their family company in Germany and chose to follow the muggle religion of Christianity. When she was 11 she was sorted into Hufflepuff. She chose to go live in a covenant once she was 16, leaving Hogwarts to pursue this lifestyle. However, when she was 21, and the nuns gave her leave to explore the blusters of being a young adult, she met a man.
- The Brensoi Name: The Matriarch and Patriarch originate from France with the claim to be direct descendants of a bastard child between King Louis XII and Joan, of France before she begun a monastic life. King Louis XII was a squib and Joan was never allowed to develop her magic due to taking on all muggle orientated duties before her marriage at the age of 12; however Louis XII's blood was pure. After their marriage was annulled, Joan chose the monastic life, the Brensoi code of honors claims, after her two year old child showed signs of magic and was shocked to her core. She gave her child to a nursemaid and then joined the Order of the Virgin Mary. The nursemaid was paid very discreetly by Joan's father and even given a nobler status when she was married off to a cousin of Joan's that held the name of Valois. The nursemaid raised their daughter and married him to another noble of magical descent. Since then they've held tradition of marrying into purebloods, without the need for pureblood upholdings to be taught. They're rather free in their livelihood.
- Rickard Selwyn: Death Eater during the Second Wizarding War, the second heir of three in a long line of purebloods, attended school with Barty Crouch Jr. in 1973 at the age of 11 and was sorted into Slytherin the same as his older brother by 12 years Alfonso Selwyn who was a year older than Bellatrix Lestrange. Very curt and quiet, but manipulative and deceitful without care for others. He graduated with flying colors and excelled in Potions. When he was 18 he married his first wife, Ululani Polveich, who was 10 years his senior but very rich. He worked for the German Ministry until he was 25 when Ululani died of chicken pox. Then he went to live back in Britain, when he was 25 he met Jesselyn Brensoi.
- The Selwyn Name: They originate from Celtic magical 'Gods'; Lug, the god of Sun, War, and Healing and Morrigan, the goddess of War and Death. Lug and Morrigan were seen as gods because of their magical ability and to avoid breaking this illusion they moved from the Celtic people into Greece where they had two Selwyn heirs; Olin and Vessieve. These two would build a strong name and have an abundance of child with their pureblood wives. Current day Selwyn name is very secretive; constantly patrolled by Ministry Officials. They make their money now off of their connection to the Brensoi family.
- Rickard & Jesselyn: Despite their six year age difference, Rickard was entranced by her and after meeting her in 1987, and a year later married her. They only had one child, Briella Selwyn, and for nine years Jesselyn was a Brensoi. The two raised her with love together. Briella was known to break her father's cold exterior with her fluttering eyelashes, and he claimed he loved her eyes most because of her they reminded him of her mother. They tried for more children when Briella was five, but miscarriaged seven times before the Healers told them to stop trying when Briella was 7. A rift began between them and Rickard turned towards exploring the Dark Arts fervently to find an answer to have a male heir. He joined in the fighting alongside his 41 year older brother in the Second Wizarding War to protect the pureblood name. Rickard was captured and imprisoned in 1998.
- Jesselyn Brensoi & the Aftermath: Unable to take the shame of being a Selwyn, rejecting the offer at the Selwyn Matriarch to marry the one brother that was not caught who was only a few years younger than Rickard, and unable to take the guilt and heartbreak she changed her name back to Brensoi in order to continue work out of the country. She never took her daughter to see Rickard and never remarried. Privately she visited Rickard, tenderly letting him know he was still loved. She is 48 now, and still visits her husband. Rickard always insists she wear Glamour Charms when she visits, which she always does to protect her identity, and she keeps him updated with Briella's life. Unbeknownst to Jesselyn, since she was 16 Briella has been visiting her father with extreme caution every six months.
