Briar Young is a freshman at Vertali, and a relative unknown to most of the students there. Having started at Vertali only six months before the events of the story, Briar's only connection to Scott would be his being her orientation guide when she started school. Of the four women accused of Scott's murder, Briar, on paper, is the least likely to be involved, to the point where many wonder why she is even one of the suspects.

Briar is a very soft-spoken and shy woman. She typically does not speak unless spoken to, and often tries to get her thoughts or opinions across in as few words as possible. She gets incredibly nervous incredibly easily, and often has trouble correctly articulating herself. However, when focused, her demeanor changes almost entirely, and she gains a sense of focus and will that would surprise even Victoria.

Some notes about Briar:

- She is 18 years old.

- She has 10 lines in this scene.

- Briar does not know any of the girls well enough to like or dislike them.

- Briar speaks very confidently and eloquently when necessary, though she primarily speaks quietly.
