Description
Brandy is a young, dark-skinned woman, several years out of Hogwarts, with a confident and infectious smile she is rarely seen without. High cheekbones frame a flat nose, set under short, kinky black hair. Her features have a rounded, soft and pleasant feel, made all the more inviting by her demeanor. Her clothing tends to be brightly colored or patterned, and her jewelry fun and dramatic (and jangly).
Background
Brandy is the third of eight children, the daughter of a Muggle father (Robert Sweetwater) and a witch mother (Mary Banes). Her father supports the family through running Sweetwater Distillery - creating fine whiskeys, while her mother (with so many little ones still underfoot) stays at home to look after the brood. Brandy's arrival was more than a week overdue - but as everyone in the family remarks, she's done things her own way, right from the start. A boisterous and friendly sort, Brandy gets on with most, and has always been fiercely protective of her younger siblings.
At school, none would make the mistake of thinking Brandy to be academically driven. While certainly bright enough, and doing reasonably well in her classes, she focused more of her attention on having fun and making friends. Brandy would use any excuse that presented itself to do up the Hufflepuff common room for a celebration, and drag as many of her fellow students as she could into it. Despite her lack of concentration, she did well in Charms class, and took up Muggle Studies and Divination as her electives. Divination was just a lark for her, but Muggle Studies she found truly fascinating, and of all her classes, she put most of her academic efforts into it.
Graduating after the full seven years, Brandy was able to leverage her natural talents in Charms and her interest in Muggle Studies into a position in the Muggle Liaison office. Her fondness and protective attitude towards young children also serves her well as she attempts to guide young children and their families through the often overwhelming introduction to the wizarding world. Brandy enjoys her work, but she is as ever always looking for an excuse to throw a good party.
