tldr version of brie's bio.
trigger warning: murder, decapitation
the barlows are old money, they have hotels and resorts around the world -- the most famous being the aubrey in chicago. ever since it's opening in the 20s, the aubrey has been a known meeting ground for the italian mob, especially within the restaurant at the hotel. her father runs the family business, and serves as one of the eight capos for the family. her mom, cynthia, was a pageant queen and miss universe back in the 80s, before moving on to modeling. basically, she comes from a hella wealthy and hella public facing family, with deep ties to the mob. she keeps her image clean -- when in reality, it just means she's really good at covering her tracks.
brie is a former pageant girl. she's been doing them since she was 2 years old, and her most notable being miss teen usa and miss usa. while she isn't a stereotypical pageant girl in personality -- she is in looks. brie's public persona is pristine, rarely ever spotted with a hair out of place. she maintains that through careful calculation, manipulation, and sabotaging anyone standing her way. her ambition and work ethic are two of her best traits, even if they're both mostly fueled by her constant need to be the best and perpetuate the image of perfection. it's what has gotten her a successful career, but what prompts a deep sense of self loathing and struggles with her body.
career wise, brie is a lawyer at rossi & rossi law firm. she's still just getting her career started, and certainly feels the weight of it and the need to prove herself. prior to rossi & rossi, she worked at a law firm that mostly worked with the family -- she established herself there despite still being in the beginnings of her career, known for her sharp tongue and getting her clients out of tight situations. while the only difference how is that she's working with devil's disciples members, they don't have as much sway or protection with them, not like with the family -- there's a certain fear that she'll misstep and end up getting a club member 25 to life, and land herself six feet under.
roughly two years ago, brie was left at the altar. she was in an explosive and toxic relationship with luciano "luke" caruso, a son of another capo in the family. their relationship was a mess from the start, built on lies and manipulation, going from hot to cold in the blink of an eye. despite all of this, brie loved him and the two got engaged. on the day of their wedding, he left her without explanation. she wasn't able to get ahold of him, or get any answers for quite a while. roughly a year later she ended up finding out he'd left her for another woman, one he'd been cheating on her with since their engagement.
a few months after that, the news breaks that he had passed away -- his headless body found in his california home by his mistress. brie, of course, cries upon hearing the news, and mourns the loss with her family and friends. the truth, however -- she'd asked a favor of her cousin nico, who returned to her doorstep with her ex-fiance's head. it's a secret she'll take to her grave. this happened a little over a year ago.
right now, between starting at a new law firm and moving to the west side of town, brie is trying to find her footing again find control in her life after luke turned it upside down -- even though each time she makes one step forward, it feels like she takes two steps back.
