The third born out of five children, Bryony was surrounded by love, laughter, company, and mischief. Her family comes from the Fallohides, full of song and eagerness to explore. She was born in the village of Stock, the old forest ever looming in the distance, calling to the five siblings to go and explore. 

Throughout her childhood, Bryony always showed a fondness for animals, constantly bringing home ducks, stray cats, squirrels, and anything that she could get her small hands on. Her parents praised her for her gentle nature and constantly pushed her to go explore the Shire with her siblings. They would tell them tales of Old Mad Baggins, and how he wasn't as mad as the other hobbits made him out to be. No, he was brave and curious, and they need to be as brave and curious as he had been if they want to grow up not just in size, but in their hearts as well. 

Bryony has a good relationship with her family. Her mother taught her how to cook, while her father taught her how to fish. Their home was always full shouts, laughter, and any animal noises that she had decided to bring in for the night. She loved going outside and exploring with her siblings, plucking at flowers and calling to the creatures that she saw. They would spend from morning till eve outside, much to the dismay of many of their neighbours, who found them to be quite a nuisance and a tad too adventurous for their taste. 

The forest always called to them, and Bryony vowed that every day, she would take a single step closer to it. She has finally crossed the Brandywine Bridge, already much closer to her goal than her siblings, who seem to fear the everlooming forest and its stories. Bryony is determined to make it there, ignoring all the warnings she has received. For didn't old Mad Baggins receive warnings as well? He did not heed them, and neither will she.
