Bernadette is the second oldest of the O'Riley family and was always an incredibly smart girl. The young woman had a certain knack for getting things done and achieving results. She isn't the kind of person to just give up and take a loss at the drop of a hat. Bernadette is more than willing to work through things and find the right answer to her problems. She is forgiving and most certainly understanding. She doesn't hold grudges and always more than willing to listen to anyone's problems. She loves her family and friends and would do anything for them, even though she has faltered slightly in the past. However, given these missteps, Bernadette still tries to do her best and do right by her friends and family as best as she can.
The biggest thing about Bernadette is that she's a romantic and a complete and total sap. Given Bernadette's history, it's no wonder she is that way. The young woman met the love of her life at a very early age and has been with him ever since. Having four children only proves the fact that Bernadette loves family above all else. The young woman adores her children and the life she has... She wouldn't trade a moment of it for anything in the whole entire world.
Bernadette stands roughly at 5'8" and has beautiful brown hair with the occasional dirty blonde streak mixed in between. Bernadette's hair is a fairly average length and extends a little past her shoulders. Though she likes to get dressed up and be fancy, Bernadette has absolutely no problem with being comfortable in very casual clothing. Her complexion is very clear, and her skin tone quite noticeably pale, echoing her Irish background. Sometimes she is mistaken to look a little unwell. This has nothing to do with her health, it's simply because of her genes. Bernadette does not tan well, so most of the time she is pale, however this isn't to say she looks like a ghost either.
NONE APPLICABLE
Bernadette was born in Dublin, Ireland to Ewan a pub owner and Mairi a telephone sales clerk. She was bought up in a middle class family home, her parents worked every single day to simply provide for the rather large family. Bernadette was one of six children and was often the center of attention in her family. Sure, there weren't any favorites... But if there ever was one Bernadette would have been it. Because Bernadette was a part of such a large family, she always seemed to spend a lot of time with her siblings along with her parents. Bernadette really loved that kind of family time. Sure, she had her own friends... But your family, that was what she knew was important.
The O'Riley family was effected greatly by their father's death... Bernadette took refuge in what turned out to be the love of her life. She met a young man at a very early age and instantly fell in love. However, they didn't act on their love right away. They didn't move quickly... That is until Bernadette's father died. A wedge had been struck between the family and the entire group splintered. Bernadette married the man of her dreams and they settled down, eventually having four children: a boy and three girls. Bernadette loved the life she was living regardless of the fact that her entire family had been shattered and the world she'd once known had been thrust into disarray.
