Brian Jackson
Joanne had always been proud to be Scottish, always worn her tartan skirt to school even though most of her friends just wore black ones. In fact, she habitually accompanied it with tartan baseball shoes. She'd been to Highland Games, had a friend - two, in fact - who played bagpipes, went to Ceilidhs whenever she could. She did not however, understand the magnetic attraction to her country's accent. That is, until she found James McAvoy.
She was rather late in discovering him. In fact, it only happened a few months before the Realisation Phenomenon, when she saw Trance in the cinema. It opened with a monologue that melted her eardrums and unlocked the secret to why she was so lucky to be Scottish. She was self-conscious for a while that she was losing it, but eventually realised that she'd taken to impersonating James on certain words and so the word 'know' came out all Essex, like Brian Jackson.
Brian Jackson returned to University after his humiliation only to find himself faced with a foreboding vortex that sucked him out of his world and into somewhere wet. His fringe flopped lazily over his forehead, having surrendered long ago to its owner's lack of interest in its upkeep. Brian flipped it back in surprise as he realised where he was. The girl before him was white as a sheet and was sat beside a hoodie with a saltire on it. Not to mention it was raining. He was in Scotland.
