Brenna

Brenna is a teenager that takes life day by day. She suffers from a mild depression disorder. She spends her time drawing, trying to realize and capture the beauty of the world.

History
Brenna had a happy childhood until the age of 7 when her parents divorced. Her mom was an alcoholic, so her dad won custody of her. Brenna was upset about the break in her family, but was glad for the absence of fighting, malicious curse words, and the occasional thrown object. During the transition, Brenna found a love for art. She often drew for fun, to distract her from what was actually happening around her, but she confided in some pieces as well. But she never let anyone see those pictures - the ones she would draw late at night, crying, and scarring the white paper with her black lines of emotion. The few friends she had could tell that Brenna was not the same. A couple of them even steered away - when Brenna needed them most.

Her dad encouraged her to try and make new friends when she enter high school, but to Brenna it was just too much effort - and if they ditched her as well, what was the point? She joined art club, but even then only talked to when prompted. She mostly kept to herself, her attention glued to her current piece of artwork. She could sometimes here the others whispering about her. When her dog died, she started skipping classes. She would go off into the woods by the school and draw. Sometimes she would wander around.

Eventually she started not wanting to do anything at all. Even drawing. If she did draw it was messy and just random sketches. Her dad took her to the doctor and she was diagnosed with a mild form of depression. The doctor gave her a prescription and encouraged her to just keep doing what she liked. Art. That was the only thing Brenna could think of. So that's what she did.

Eventually she started selling her work online and she quit school - making art her job. Her dad, although skeptical, was supportive and would share her work. Sometimes he would come bringing news of a coffee shop or similar places asking her to make advertisements. One day, Brenna had decided she had earned quite some money and she bought herself a new puppy. He was a rottweiler and she named him Ryker.

Over time, Brenna started feeling better and was even happy occasionally. She continues to take medicine for her depression and doing what makes her the happiest - art!
