The Outer Layer
Physical Appearance; Hair Style & Color: At the first glance, it's easy to notice Brooklyn's long, brown hair that sometimes includes some highlights. Her hair reaches just below her shoulder blades which she is continuing to grow to make it slightly longer so it flatters her image. Her brown hair is feathered and layered and is usually worn down and in all different styles when she is at or outside college. Brooke’s beautiful hair always looks so soft a silky and it just completes her in everyway and without with brown she just wouldn't be Brooklyn.
Style: Being a designer Brooklyn prefers fashionable clothing style, usually her own designs; pretty dresses, simple jeans, high heels, jewellery (especially large earrings) and such but at work she rarely wears jewellery or dresses she prefers to wear them when out at clubs and pubs and such. Brooke loves make up (mascara, face powder, lip-gloss), pastel colours and all those girly pieces of clothing, so outside of school you can often see her wearing skirts, jeans and sweaters. She might even look more shallow and vain than she actually is.

Personality; It must be a common trait to the Zabini's, kindness I mean, and Brooklyn does possess it quite often. She does despise many people, a bit, but tends to hide it from everyone else but her friends. Brooklyn usually gets well along with students of all ages even students from other houses, especially if she's alone. She doesn't strike up conversations that often but when someone comes to talk to her, her replies are rarely mean. However, if you somehow ended up on her bad list, you'd better beware of her.
Brooklyn might be known as a sweet girl because of her dashing smile. That's what she actually is, most of the time, and would probably be all the time if she wasn't born to be the daughter of her mother. Because of this trait, Brooke has many friends but to be completely honest, only a few ones she can trust. It's hard for her to trust anyone because her mother has taught her how dishonest people can be. It's almost a miracle that Brooklyn can trust anyone after all the times she has heard lies without being able to tell that she knows the truth.
Against her own will, Brooke is often jealous for others' happiness and such. She tends to hide it well though, knowing that it's very selfish to be jealous for something like happiness. She should be happy for others, instead of envying them and she is in the know about it. However, she can't change herself. Brooklyn occasionally tries to help her friends with their worries to deserve being happy. She actually is good at helping others with their worries and solving their problems, but solving her own problems is always so much harder.
The young woman easily complains about things that really don't matter, but she only complains about them to her good friends. Therefore, acquaintances might think that she almost never complains and that's what Brooke wants them to think. Brooklyn can become rather confident around guys , even though any other girl would be nervous and such but what can she say it's just a silly habit. She wants everyone to like her, even the students and such, and that, of course, isn't even impossible. Brooke's life would be so much easier if she weren't such a perfectionist. However, she has her way to drown her worries; she parties, plays the piano, she writes and she designs.
The Past
History; Brooklyn was the first born child of Blaise and Pansy Zabini, born two years before her younger sister - Scarlette. During her childhood, she was given almost everything she wished for, and treated extremely well. When she was old enough to understand things a little more clearly, she took an extreme interest in her ancestors. From around the age of seven, she would spend her time talking with her Grandmother, constantly wishing to be exactly like her. Although most took this type of interest in their mother, Brooklyn seemed to completely idolize her grandmother for no apparent reason.
At the age of eleven, Brooklyn was mildly pleased to be accepted at Hogwarts, though slightly against the idea due to its History. However, she attended the school without an argument, and was placed into Ravenclaw, unlike her parents who where disappointed for quite some time. Throughout her years there, Brooklyn came to understand more about her family, the Dark Arts and about what was expected of her. Her aim to be like her Grandmother remained, although she had also taken another idol in the form of her departed great aunt.
Whilst in school, Brooklyn became skilled in classes that involved wand work, such as Transfiguration and Charms. However, she seemed to be slightly unfortunate when it came to mixing Potions, or 'searching for the future' in Divination. This didn't bother her of course, but she attempted to improve merely to impress Professor and her parents. Despite the fact she did enjoy the company of other Ravenclaws, Brooklyn would spend quite a lot of her time alone, reading and designing, something she was very gifted at doing and planned on taking it up after she finished Hogwarts.
When she had reached her seventh year, Brooklyn knew practically everything there was to know about both Battles of Hogwarts, the deceased Dark Lord and majority of Dark Arts, despite the fact she wasn't often seen practising them. She was excelling in her wand work classes still, and almost passing Potions. She was still extremely inquisitive, and likes to asks lots of questions. Despite her mother being around most, Brooklyn still aspires to be like her Grandmother and Great Aunt, and admires her father more than anyone.
Once graduating from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, Brooklyn went on to do what her heart desired. Designing. She opened her own shop in Hogsmeade and instantly it was a hit, people flooded in each day buying her cloths. After two years of designing, Brooklyn had became a well known designer who had everything she could possibly dream of having. Although money never made anyone happy.

Roleplay Sample; Does life really make you who you are? Can you change your future or is everything already planned out?
Pushing the book aside, Scorpius heaved a loud and exhausted sigh. Only one more day and he would be back home, to his real home. Of course, the luxury of the Malfoy Manor was terrific but Scorpius knew he belonged elsewhere, Hogwarts it seemed. It almost felt wrong to miss so much, miss his friends, his popularity, the respect he was given from the other students but unfortunately not his father, the girls he was close to and practically the school itself but Scorpius was quite positive he wasn't the only person who missed and was eager to see the glowing castle again.
Entering the main room, he glanced around searching for one of his idiotic siblings, the immature ones, the ones that would most likely never understand the word responsible...okay so maybe he was overreacting and maybe his siblings weren't so bad on certain occasions but that wasn't the point, he was just hoping they'd stay out of his way. Falling back onto the black leather sofa he sighed and quickly flicked through the many channels on the plasma tv, something he persuaded his father to get even though it was classified as muggle technology. Scorpius had always found himself in fascination by the large flat screen. Stopping on a particular channel and getting comfortable, Scorp closed his eyes and just let the sound in the background carry him off to sleep, maybe a friend would call or a sibling would come and help him cure his boredom.
‘Nothing lasts forever…peace doesn’t last forever.’
Holding the sigh that was fighting to escape his tight lips, Scorpius opened his eyes, only a centimetre just to see what sister was accompanying him. Esabella? Now that was a surprise. The young blonde girl approached him carelessly like she did every other time and like usual there was no smile on her lips. Why don’t people smile now days? Or atleast show him any sign of acknowledgment. It wasn’t that he disliked his little sister, it was mostly because of their differences and how annoying Essy can be when she is around you for too long which always made Scor wonder if this was the reason for Kyle’s distance towards Essy, both of them where pretty close before the summer.
Now realising it was safe to open his eyes, he beamed up at Esabella, it was almost frightening how much she looked like their mother. There was no way to deny that the young girl was beautiful and it made Scorpius so much more protective over his sisters but what he couldn’t understand was, why they didn’t have boyfriends or anything? Alright, enough thoughts about his sister and her personal life. Shuffling over of the comfy sofa slightly he made enough room for Essy to sit. Was it usually this quiet? It was actually nice and just as Scorpius took a second chance to close his eyes and get comfortable again, a voice broke the silence.
"Scor...Can I change the channel? Pretty please? You love me, don't you?”
Was she serious? This was practically his tv and she wanted to change the channel even though most of her summer has been based around the screen there was no way he was letting her touch the remote. “Uh…No. I have no idea why you’d even ask” Scorpius told her quite coldly and maybe a little colder than he expected which resulted in Scor letting out a guilty sigh. “Yes, I love you.” He said loudly, “Even though sometimes I wish I didn’t.” Scorpius whispered under his breath before handing Esabella the remote, “Watch what you want.”
