The Inspirations for Briar, Chloe and Randi

Briar Devlin: The Sleeping Beauty. Chloe Birchhart: The Cinderella. And Randi Kerr: The True Beauty of Evermore. See the inspirations of what makes this girls brave, strong and the ones you don't want to deal with. --KatDon 

BRIAR DEVLIN: Briar Devlin was supposed to come into the picture earlier in the drafts of Phenomenon Serendipity to replace Mia and her friends into the arc. She was supposed to be a badass and 'squeaky clean' like Kim Possible. But then, there came a dark time of tragedy struck her and things got a lot complicated however I have to change it, well, improvised on and made Briar the star of this crossover! Originally, I was supposed to do the 'tragedy' part and make Briar depressing and broken however it was too melancholia so I decide to give her a bit of hope in her. Strong willed and never back down. Let's just say I want her to be awesome like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I want her to be witty like Kim Possible, I want her to be kind and empathetic like James McAvoy's Charles Xavier. Briar Devlin was everything I wasn't: I'm clumsy, she was athletic. I was prone to temper tantrums and she was composed. However, she would tell me to love myself no matter what because she's so good natured. Briar Devlin also hates arguments because of the domestic violence she witnessed of her father inflicting on her mother so she always gets scary when she has to be the peace maker to rivals arguing all the time! She also doesn't take kindly to abusive parents who hurt people as she distaste to Vinsmoke or Hiragi. Briar is level headed like Sidney Prescott from Scream and uses her smarts to help save lives as she suffers from PTSD because of what happened to her 12 best friends. She's also similar to Sarah from the witching hour movie, The Craft. Briar's power came from Edward Cullen and Professor X (Telepathic), Carrie White (Telekinesis), Alice Cullen (Clairvoyance), X Men's Rogue (Absorb powers and copycat through touch) and Claire Bennett (Accelerate healing factor). It's also hinted that Briar has repairing abilities like Sephie from the comic book Meridian.

CHLOE BIRCHHART: In the earliest drafts of Chloe Birchhart's backstory; it was darker. Chloe was born into a cult, parents died in a car crash, her grandmother--the leader of the cult--is a fundamentalist Christian yet abusive, and Chloe has a cousin who has an incest crush on her. But it sounded like FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC. No offense but I didn't like incest romances, it seemed to creepy. Again, I have to change it to make it appropriate for the young adult audience. Chloe's past is similar to Rose McGowan's cult story: As a child; McGowan and her family were born into a cult where she and her family were sheltered off from the world and things in the cult that were considered a sin. There was also mentions about 'flirty fishing' and how Rose and her family escaped, they try to live in a house but then the cult members try to break down the door of their house. Rose wasn't an American, her family and herself were culture shock by their new home in the Land of Free: America. Rose McGowan is doing better, so it was amazing how this actress went through something so terrifying and it makes me feel better that celebrities aren't just 'idols' but they are human who go through things. I went through something cult related sort of and it ease the pain of it all. Hearing this story, made me inspired to do Chloe and I hated fundamental religious people so I wanted Chloe to have a reason to be 'afraid' of narrow minded religious people. I'm religious myself but I don't like how people think everything is a sin all the time and I was almost like that because a certain old crone had try to force feed us about 'The End Times' were 'approaching' and there were signs. At least she thought so. But she was the source to everyone's problem however that's another story. Chloe's powers are similar to Raven's dark powers. Though Chloe is not a demon nor have empathy related gifts; she makes it up in PHENOMENON SERENDIPITY 3 of being a harpy after being attacked. Chloe is similar to Cassie Hack of Hack/Slash, Chloe wears outfits similar to Cassie Hack and sometimes make up because of dark powers. I came across Gabrielle Wilde from the 2013 remake Carrie and wanted her to be the design for Chloe's character, hell I want her to voice Chloe in the anime crossover.

RANDI KERR: Randi Kerr was modeled and named after the youthful, gorgeous Australian model name Miranda Kerr. First time I came across her while surfing the web and she was on a magazine cover, she looked so beautiful and young. Randi was once married to the actor, Orlando Bloom, I was shocked. He was taller and he was older than her. She seemed like she deserved someone at her height and around her age but it was OK. Nymphs in mythology were described as pretty and have these powers so I had this idea to make Randi into a beautiful half nymph-half human girl. During the creation; I wanted Randi to be the impediment of True Beauty: True beauty is reflected in one's soul—being truthful, honest, helpful, and trustworthy. Smiling at others even when you are having a bad day, complimenting someone and meaning it, spending time with family and friends, kindness, and most importantly being the best person that you can be. True beauty radiates from the most beautiful feature in the world - the heart. Other words that describe their attractiveness include kind, compassionate, gentle, and sweet. They are mindful of those around them and always look to build and encourage. Their words are uplifting and their actions are selfless.
