I took my time thinking about what I wanted to say. When I first met Brody it was on her first day in xat when Aria introduced her to us. Immediately she started vibing with everyone, cracking jokes, mostly about DDD's feet fetish. I remember sitting back, cracking up for hours from their banter, particularly DDD's "I know some young dudes who would (fill in the blank lol) you" followed by Brody's challenge of acceptance. That's the thing about Brody - she was always eager to go back and forth with anyone. She was the life of the chat and EAW in general. While she may have suffered from bouts of depression, she always made time for others. She would put you over before putting herself over, which said a lot about her character. Sure she was intense with the dirty jokes sometimes - but this is EAW. My first day here was a DDD rant about 'cummies' lol.
It wasn't until several months after her debut did I get to know the woman behind the woman, Mavis Sterling. Somehow she managed to hunt me down on Facebook and friend requested me. We would chat about non-EAW stuff. She confided a lot of things in me and trusted my judgment, I saw this as an honor, and the first time and in a long time someone has followed my advice so closely. I encouraged her to get to NY so she could restart her life to help her mom and brother. No matter what her family would go through she loved them so much. Even when she felt stressed or alone, it was always 'I can't leave my mom alone'. All Mavis wanted was to love and be loved in turn. I felt like this community had fulfilled that with her and vice versa.
Cloud and Brody had a unique rivalry/relationship. They didn't cross paths until her return. They were sisters in the Sanatorium's Coven. I hade saying or even typing those words for obvious reasons, but unfortunately, it's a part of my e-fed career. Brody and I would spend days and nights tossing ideas back and forth. When I wrote Cloud's departure from The Coven, she was my muse, writing lines for everyone to say. She was concerned with getting everyone over just as much as I was. It was a surprise to her when she read the Inferno match for her Specialist title defense. Her lack of defenses was bothering her personally, and she felt like she was being judged because of that. I personally believed in her character and wanted to give her something to at least use in her future defense at PFP 10. While I knew the result, she thought she was losing that belt that night. She would pm me like 'do me proud cloudy!', thinking I was going to walk into PFP with a second Specialist reign. As cool as that would be, my only concern was showing EAW the potential of this brilliant Hypnotic Heretic.
I was always in awe of Brody's writing ability and storytelling. She knew how to weave her words together like a hypnotic song, luring you in like the siren she was. She took great pride in her character development and was always thinking of new ways to improve her character. She was arguably Cloud's biggest fan (even more so than me lol) and was the one who suggested her NPC Monica Vaughan and Cloud become a couple. She did whatever she could to help contribute to my success and for that, I'm forever grateful. She's inspired me to be a better friend, social worker, and human being. The best thing I can do for her memory is to be the person she always saw me as.
