Description

Personality

On the contrary to Bridget’s appearance, she is actually quite shy when meeting new people for the first time. She blushes quite easily, and stutters constantly when she loses face in front of other people. She is fairly intelligent, and would much rather spend her time reading a good novel than going out to party. She has a kind heart, she takes a joy in helping people. Bridget is trusting, and sometimes, far too naïve for her own good. She believes everyone has their good points, and their bad points. It is impossible for her to believe that anyone is entirely good, or entirely bad, her proof being her own self. She is mostly a loner, not by preference…for she actually has an internal fear of being alone, no matter how much of a sleaze, or how much of a nice girl she is. She prefers the company of others, yet she is constantly misjudged based on appearance. Most of the time, Bridget is a fairly happy girl, she enjoys laughing, and smiling, and takes pleasure in the simpler things in life. She angers only when she witnesses an injustice of sorts, or when someone has betrayed her. She is not afraid to share her feelings, preferring to cry out loud when she is sad, yell and stomp when she is angered, or laugh uproariously when she is happy. She doesn’t believe in keeping things bottled up inside, knowing that is unhealthy for one’s mind. One of Bridget’s biggest faults however, is her cowardice. She is by no means a fighter, preferring to “talk things out” before hand. She will fight if cornered, or if she witnesses an injustice occurring, but those times are it.

History

Bridget was born to a lawyer and his mistress, and spent her early life in an orphanage. She was cast out by her real mother, who had no money to support her, and disowned by her father and his wife as a relic of a hard time between the two. She was brought up to be as respectable as possible, but she was unwanted by the parents who came to “interview” her for adoption. It wasn’t because she was an ugly child, or a mean child, on the contrary, she was quite beautiful, and her attitude was as sweet as her appearance. But she seemed to hate being touched. When she was hugged, or when someone tried to hold her hand, she would freeze up and stare at them with an expression full of fear, before bursting into tears, and putting up a tremendous struggle against them. Thus, she spent her life alone, having only the orphanage, and nothing else. She didn’t get along very well with the other children, for they feared of setting her off by accidentally bumping her. And so she watched from the sidelines, their games of football and tag. She left the orphanage at 17, when she was legally able to do so, and began her new life. However, this fear still continued to lead to a life of loneliness, for no man could get close to her. Men need something to hold on to, and Bridget seemed to be something out of reach.
