Character History

Bree has led a charmed life. Born and raised in Boston, MA, her father is a cardiac surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, and her mother is an ER nurse there as well. Despite their hectic schedules and high pressure jobs, her parents were attentive and involved in their children’s lives. With money came opportunity, and so few doors have ever been closed for Bree. It was a foregone conclusion that both of the Delaney children – Bree and her older brother Jeremy – would end up in careers in the medical field. Neither of them disappointed, with both showing early interest and aptitude in science and medicine.

Bree was in her teens when her creativity and passion for learning led her away from traditional medicine. Listening to her parents talk about their successes and failures with patients led her to believe that there must be other ways to approach medicine that were not being utilized. Her desire for knowledge led her to alternative therapies, and she became deeply engrossed in studying healing from a more natural standpoint. She became involved in the local Wiccan community, but did not limit her influences to there: she spent as much time as she could seeking out and learning from healers of every religion and discipline. Witch doctors, shamans, medicine men and women, druids, even faith healers and people she was pretty certain were charlatans – if they would teach her, she would listen. She took what she could from each of them and applied it to her own techniques.

Bree also continued her schooling in traditional medicine. She completed a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry, deepening her knowledge of how living things work. When she was accepted to the MD program at Harvard Medical School, she embarked on that new challenge with her customary enthusiasm. She is nearing completion of her first year at HMS.

Throughout her knowledge seeking, Bree stayed closely connected with some of the friends she had made in Boston’s Pagan community. She is a practicing Witch with a focus on the healing arts and herbalism.

The idea of officially being a Witch-Doctor when she graduates is a constant source of amusement for her.
