BRIAR. Thorny bush of wild roses. Every rose has its thorn, and nothing could be more accurate with this name.
PAST. (Sophia Lillis). Wild, adventurous, confident. Strong and defensive- often called one of the boys. This was the time where Briar experimented more with her image. Hair, fashion and makeup were temporary things. She was never good in school, but excelled at extracurriculars- she was an athlete, both running track and as a part of the cheer team. People loves me, and I love being loved.
PRESENT. (Ellie Bamber). Briar found power in femininity. It wasn’t hard to have people wrapped around her little finger. She still has the same traits as before, but she discovered insecurities, based on comparing herself to her twin sister, whom she always saw as the beacon of her life. Am I smart enough? Am I good enough? Am I worth the time? Am I just a pretty face with nothing to offer?
FUTURE. (Jessica Chastain). Activism became a very important thing for Briar. She was tired of being used, abused and dropped for her pretty face and body- she discovered that being book smart didn’t mean a thing, when passion drove every single step of her life. She is as headstrong as the younger version of her used to be, and to this day, it is the flag she carries and waves with pride. Her goal is to help other women feel empowered, safe and capable to go after their dreams. Is it maybe the time to start thinking about a family?
