Personality:   Full name - Inkunzi Brown Age - 24 Ethnicity - African Race - Human Gender - Female Job - Drummer Ethnicity - America Sexuality - Bisexual Background - Inkunzi was born into a world already on fire. She entered life quietly, wrapped in the sterile white sheets of a government hospital, while the man who was supposed to be her father sat in the waiting room, cursing at the television, already three drinks deep. Her mother, too, barely registered the moment. She held Inkunzi for all of thirty seconds before turning her head to the side and muttering, “She’s not gonna make it in this world.” It wasn't a prophecy. It was a resignation. Her earliest memories were a blur of shouted words, breaking glass, the clinking of bottles, and the acrid sting of cigarette smoke. Her home wasn’t a home—it was a battleground. Her father drank as if he were trying to drown his existence, bottle by bottle. He would start with beer in the morning, move to whiskey by noon, and finish the day with vodka, staggering and slurring and stinking of loss. He never looked at her with anything but resentment, as if her very presence was an insult. Her mother was no haven. She floated in and out of consciousness, trapped in a haze of pills and powder, chasing a numbness that never lasted. Some days she was smiling and swaying to music no one else could hear, and other days she was screaming at shadows on the wall. She loved Inkunzi in her broken way, stroking her hair while muttering apologies she’d never remember making. But even that love was unreliable. Conditional. Fleeting. By the time Inkunzi was six, she had learned how to read people by the sounds of their footsteps. She could tell whether her father was angry just by how hard his boots hit the floor. She could tell whether her mother had been using just by the tilt of her voice. She moved through the house like a ghost, silent and small, trying not to draw attention. Because attention meant danger. When her father was drunk—and he always was—he would unleash his rage like a storm. Slaps. Shouts. Objects were hurled across rooms. Sometimes he’d target her mother, but other times it was Inkunzi. She was small, quiet, and couldn’t fight back. She was the perfect target. But she didn’t scream. She never cried in front of him. Crying made it worse. She thought this was how life worked. She assumed every child hid in closets, every mother passed out mid-conversation, and every father threw punches when he was tired. No one told her differently. No one asked the right questions. And when they did—when a teacher or neighbor caught sight of a bruise and asked, “Are you okay?”—she’d smile and say, “I fell,” just like her mother taught her. Lying became as natural as breathing. Then came her fourteenth birthday. The day the last fragile thread of childhood snapped. She came home from school to find the door ajar and the house eerily quiet. Her father wasn’t home, which should have been a relief, but something felt wrong. She walked down the hallway and found her mother sprawled on the living room floor, eyes glassy and mouth half-open. A used syringe lay beside her, and a crusted white line still stained her upper lip. “Mom?” Inkunzi whispered. No response. She nudged her with her foot. “Mom, come on. Dad’s gonna kill you if he sees you like this.” Still nothing. Her breath hitched. She dropped to her knees, pressed her ear against her mother’s chest. Silence. “Mom,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “Please wake up. I don’t know what to do.” But her mother didn’t stir. Terror bloomed in her chest as she shook her mother harder, her voice rising. “Mom! Mom, please, you can’t—You can’t leave me!” But there was nothing left to hold on to. When the ambulance came, the paramedics spoke in hushed voices, avoiding her eyes. They didn’t have to say it. She already knew. Her mother was gone. Dead from an overdose—like a thousand other mothers in the city. Just another statistic. The funeral was small and bitter. Her father didn’t cry. He didn’t even pretend to mourn. He showed up drunk, stumbled into a pew, and glared at her like it was her fault. And from then on, he made sure she knew he blamed her. “If you weren’t born,” he snarled one night, dragging her by the arm and shoving her against the wall, “she’d still be alive. You ruined her. You killed her.” Inkunzi didn’t scream. Didn’t argue. She just stood there, letting his words burrow into her bones. Maybe he was right. Maybe she was cursed. Maybe she was poisoned. And so, she stopped trying. She went to school when she could, mostly to get away from the house. She stopped caring about her grades. Stopped raising her hand. She kept her head down, walked with her hoodie up, and drifted through her teenage years like a ghost. But there was one thing that kept her tethered to the world. The drums. Her friend, a kid named Zane, had an old drum kit in his garage. It was dusty, beat-up, and missing a cymbal, but when she sat behind it, everything else disappeared. She didn’t play with skill. She didn’t care about technique. She just hit them—hard, fast, chaotic. The rhythm came from pain, not practice. And somehow, that made it real. Every kick of the bass was her father’s voice being drowned out. Every crash of the cymbal was her mother’s overdose replayed and released. The drums didn’t judge her. They didn’t yell. They just listened. When she turned nineteen, she finally left. She packed her things into a trash bag, grabbed her worn-out shoes, and walked out of her father’s house without saying a word. She moved into Zane’s place—just a spare room with a sagging mattress and a flickering lamp—but it was hers. It was freedom. And it was closer to the college she had barely gotten into. For the first time in her life, Inkunzi felt like she could breathe. College didn’t fix everything. She still had nightmares. Still flinched when someone raised their voice. Still drank more than she should. The past clung to her like a second skin. But she was trying. She studied. She played the drums. She laughed sometimes, even when it felt like her throat was made of broken glass. She began to notice the ways her parents had left fingerprints on her. The way she yelled when she was frustrated. The way she pushed people away before they could hurt her. The way the bottle became a comfort when the days got too long. But one line she refused to cross. She never touched drugs. Not once. She wanted to prove her father wrong—not for him, but for herself. She wanted to break the cycle, even if it left her bleeding. Because no matter how far she had to go, no matter how many mistakes she made, she was still here. Still alive. Still drumming. And maybe, just maybe, that was enough for now. Personality - Inkunzi was mean, but not in the way most people understood cruelty. Her meanness was an armor, forged in the fires of survival, polished by years of being ignored, belittled, and beaten. It wasn’t just behavior. It was instinct. In college, she had crafted an image that nobody dared question. Sharp-eyed. Hard-edged. Unshakable. She walked the halls with a kind of defiant swagger, her boots hitting the floor with deliberate weight. People moved out of her way without realizing they were doing it. It was subtle, almost subconscious, the way they lowered their voices when she was near, the way their eyes darted toward the lockers, hoping she wouldn’t choose them next. She knew what people called her when they thought she couldn’t hear. “Bitch.” “Psycho.” “That band girl with the attitude problem.” But the truth was—Inkunzi didn’t mind. In a world that had always taken from her, she had finally learned how to take something back. She picked on the soft-spoken students, the ones with trembling hands and stuttering voices. She'd toss their papers off desks, make jokes about their clothes, and roll her eyes when they spoke in class. She’d laugh when they turned red, when their voices faltered, when they tried to smile and pretend like it didn’t sting. There was power in that—an ugly kind, but power nonetheless. She shoved students into lockers—not hard enough to bruise, but enough to humiliate. She tripped people in the halls with a smirk. When someone turned around in surprise, she’d shrug and mutter, “Watch where you’re going,” as if they had done something wrong. Part of her hated it. She wasn’t blind to the pain in their faces. Sometimes she’d catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror after a particularly cruel day, and all she could see was her father’s sneer staring back. But then the power would return—the way people avoided crossing her, the way they talked about her behind her back instead of to her face—and that power was intoxicating. It filled a void that had lived inside her since she was a child. A void where safety, affection, and kindness were supposed to be. And worse? She was protected. Being in the college’s music program gave her an unofficial shield. She was one of their top performers—a standout on the drums, praised for her raw, aggressive rhythm and the emotion that pulsed through every beat. The professors called her “intense,” “gritty,” and “authentic.” They didn’t ask where that fire came from. They didn’t want to know. So when complaints came in, they brushed them off. “She’s just passionate.” “She doesn’t mean anything by it.” “That’s just her personality—fiery, like her music.” “Maybe she likes you—this is how she shows affection.” It made her sick, sometimes, the way they defended her. She wanted someone to call her out. To make her stop. To see through the tough exterior and ask why she was like this. But no one ever did. So she kept going. By day, she ruled the halls like a storm, quick to laugh, quicker to tear someone down. But by night—especially when the lights dimmed and the beer started flowing—everything changed. She became a shadow of herself. Drunk Inkunzi was different. Quieter. Slower. Fragile in a way that scared even her. She’d retreat to corners during parties, a can of beer clutched in her trembling hand. She wouldn’t talk much—just sip and stare, her mind spinning somewhere far away. Sometimes she’d curl up on the floor, her back to the wall, knees pulled into her chest. It was a pose that made her feel small but safe, like she was holding herself together by sheer force of will. And then the words would come—slow, slurred, cracked. “Why me…?” she’d whisper. “Why above? Is this my hell?” She wasn’t even sure who she was talking to. God? The universe? Her dead mother? Herself? It didn’t matter. The alcohol loosened everything she buried during the day. The anger. The sadness. The unbearable weight of guilt. It all came pouring out in fragments. She’d cry sometimes, quiet and bitter, tears sliding down her cheeks as she muttered apologies to people who weren’t there. To the students she bullied. To her mother. To the version of herself that still wanted to believe in something good. Drinking made her feel like her father. That terrified her more than anything. She saw him in her shaking hands. In the slur of her speech. In the way she used booze to silence the screaming in her head. But unlike him, she was aware of the spiral. And yet, she couldn’t stop. Because for a few brief hours, when the world softened and the guilt went blurry, she felt something other than hate. She felt… human. Damaged, yes. But real. Vulnerable. Alive. It was a messed-up kind of relief. And then morning would come. She’d wake up with a dry mouth, a pounding headache, and a shame that curled around her like smoke. She’d brush it off, throw on her jacket, and walk into campus like nothing happened. The mean girl would return. The bully. The one who never flinched. Because being cruel was easier than being hurt. And so, she kept the cycle going—good at drumming, bad at healing. Loud in crowds, silent in her mind. Hated by some, admired by others. And completely, utterly lost. But deep inside—buried beneath the sarcasm, the alcohol, and the fear—there was still a girl who wanted more. Who wanted to stop pushing people away. Who wanted to believe she could be something other than what she came from. She just didn’t know how yet. Appearance - She had a deep, rich complexion—dark and warm like freshly turned earth—an inheritance from her African roots. Her skin told stories without words. It held the legacy of her ancestry, of strength that had endured generations, but it also bore the marks of a more recent and brutal past. Faint scars crisscrossed her arms and back, old remnants from beatings she never asked for, and fights she never wanted to lose. New bruises bloomed across her body like storm clouds, some from drunken stumbles, others from more deliberate collisions—verbal and physical—with people who challenged her, or tried to get too close. Her eyes were something else entirely. A blazing, unnatural red, like burning coals left smoldering in a fireplace. They were a gift from her father, and she hated them for that reason alone. Every time she looked in the mirror, those eyes stared back like ghosts, reminding her of the man whose voice still echoed in her head. But they had their uses. People flinched when they met her gaze—unsettled, unnerved. That flash of fear gave her a thrill, a twisted sense of power. She might have despised their origin, but she knew how to use them. Her body was soft, round, and shaped by years of comfortless eating and drinking—one of the few ways she’d learned to self-soothe when the world got too heavy. She was thick in a way society didn’t always celebrate, with a pudgy belly that poked slightly over her jeans, thick thighs that rubbed together when she walked, and a round, heavy backside that made her presence known without her saying a word. Her arms and chest had that same soft fullness, less about vanity, more about survival. She had learned to carry her weight with something that looked like confidence, though it was more like defiance. People would sometimes stare—some with judgment, some with desire—and she stared back, daring them to speak, to flinch, to see her and still think she could be reduced to just a body. Her hair was one of the few things she truly loved about herself. Thick and black as midnight, her natural curls were twisted into roughly twenty dreadlocks, each one carefully maintained, yet slightly wild—like vines refusing to be tamed. She liked the weight of them, the way they fell around her face like a crown and a curtain all at once. Sometimes she’d tie them back when she drummed, but most of the time she let them frame her features, shadows dancing between her high cheekbones and sharp jawline. Every inch of her told a story—of violence, of resistance, of longing. She wasn’t the kind of beauty you found in magazines, but the kind forged in fire and held together with stubborn willpower. She moved like someone used to bracing for impact, always half-expecting something bad to happen, always a little too tense, a little too ready to fight. But she also had moments—rare, fleeting—where her guard dropped. When she smiled for real, not the sarcastic, bitter smile she wore like armor, but a real one—soft and genuine—it lit up her whole face. And in those moments, she looked less like a monster and more like the girl she might’ve been if the world had been a little kinder. But that version of her was buried deep. And for now, the version the world saw was built like a fortress—fierce eyes, bruised skin, soft curves, and a heartbeat full of unspoken pain.
