BACKGROUND
Brambles was born as "Bramley Alden" in the North East of England on February 14th, Valentines Day. Tragically, his mother died during childbirth, leaving his father to raise him as a single parent. His parents were very excited for their newborn and the sudden death of his mother was an incredibly traumatic ordeal for his father. Unable to raise his son in the home he shared with his wife due to the crushing grief he felt, Brambles' father sold their family home and bought a caravan to live a nomadic lifestyle to raise his son, putting the rest of the money in savings for Brambles' future. Brambles grew up with joy and grace - he was such a happy, considerate child which helped his father to heal from how much he reminded him of his mother. Because he never met his mother, Brambles never really felt the same sort of grief his father did, although he did feel guilty being the cause of her passing. His father redirected any of those feelings to stop Brambles from dwelling on them. His childhood was filled with joy, laughter and books. Many, many books.On the road in the caravan, Brambles loved every moment of the experience. He adored travelling to all sorts of book shops with his father to read everything he could get his hands on. His father was delighted to see his passion for books passed down to his son, and just like his mother, he aspired to become a florist. After spending his entire childhood on the road, his father decided that it was time for them to settle down. They purchased a bookshop in Durham so that Brambles could go into education to further his studies and passion for flowers. They named the store "Daisy Trails & Fairy Tales", or Daisy Trails for short, because Brambles loves daisies and they were also the favourite flower of his late mother. It felt like a perfect way to honour her.
Now fully trained as a florist and book seller, Brambles works in Daisy Trails selling books and flower arrangements. He went to Durham University and graduated with honours. He intends to find a job in a more specialised field, but at present, he is so content working in Daisy Trails and doesn't feel ready to leave it. Becoming something of a casual gamer, he eventually discovers The World...!
THREE IMPORTANT MEMORIES
HIS NICKNAME
Earning his nickname, "Brambles." When he was a child, Brambles was very high-energy and loved running as far as his legs could carry him. While tumbling down a hill, he fell straight into an abundance of brambles shrubs, causing him to be covered from head to toe in prickles and blackberry stains. The kids teasingly called him "Bramley Brambles" afterwards, but with Brambles' unshakeable bright spirit, he laughed along with them. Covered from head to toe in debris, he said to his father, "Look at me! I'm Brambles!" allowing him to reclaim the nickname, which managed to stick.
HIS LIFESTYLE
For the longest time, Brambles lived a nomadic lifestyle in a caravan with his father. He loved life on the road, and they travelled from place to place to sell their very rare books. Eventually his father saved up enough money to open a book shop in Durham, England for the two of them to settle and make a living. In addition to selling books, they also sell flowers, Brambles' passion alongside reading. They named the store "Daisy Trails & Fairy Tales", or Daisy Trails for short, in honour of Brambles' mother's favourite flower.
HIS BEST FRIEND
Befriending his childhood best friend and life soulmate, Brush. Brush was born into a life of wealth and privilege and forced to follow a path of academia which didn't suit him. His parents regularly took him to the book shop owned by Brambles and his father, allowing him to meet Brambles who would then go on to befriend him. While Brush's parents hoped that befriending Brambles would help him become academic like him, it had the opposite effect, and Brush chose to pursue athleticism against his parent's wishes.
