Living Fandom

[catko]

Challenge for allthingsfandom is to pick a fandom character and describe their life as if they were living among us. I chose Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones.

I imagined that Brienne lives in a small, charming brownshingle house on a quiet street in Berkeley, California. I think she would like the woodsy element, but want to be in an lively town with good food and intellectual pursuits. She needs a vehicle with space, so she drives a classic 1953 Jeep Willys which she cares for lovingly. The Jeep is also perfect for carting around her tools for her job as a landscape gardener. She enjoys working with her hands, making things come alive, and spending her days outdooors.

She is athletic, and plays on several local teams for basketball, volleyball, and, in tribute to her English upbringing, field hockey. She likes the camaraderie as well as the physical exertion. For fun, she indulges in a zest for medieval cosplay, camping and hiking, and hot tubbing at hot springs spas--again, showing her love for physical movement and the great outdoors.
