Brigette Poppet

"Whether we live or die isn't a big issue. If you focus on being alive, you develop fear. Your eyes get clouded. But if you have no such feelings... you are capable of fighting right to the end of the world."
Brigette Poppet is DC Experiment Akinobu Poppet's older sister, and a member of the infamous Poppet Family. People often refer to her as Poker Alice.
== Appearance ==
Brigette is a young, slender girl with violet eyes and long hair of a lavender color, styled into two small twin-drill pigtails via two black bows. She wears a dark gothic-lolita styled dress. She also has long, black nails with hearts on them, and a black ring on her pointer finger. She has a butterfly tattoo on her middle finger, and a cross tattoo under her left eye.
== Personality ==
Brigette is a troubled, loud, rude, sarcastic, deadly, very competitive, short-tempered, cynical, confident and considerably aggressive nihilist (a person who believes that life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles) who also exhibits a wild temperament.
Unlike Akinobu, Brigette is undiplomatic, believing in the use of brute force and coercion to get her way. Of all the characters in the story, Brigette is one of the ones that uses the foulest language and is also a heavy smoker and drinker. Brigette is merciless and sadistic, and is more than capable of killing anyone, even unarmed civilians. Despite her merciless nature, she's also capable of showing humor and she can be quite a talker when she isn't mad. Another aspect of her personality is her racial insensitivity.
Brigette is a merciless and sadistic killer, without a conscience, who will be more than ready to kill anyone at the slightest provocation, even unarmed civilians, and she kills in cold-blood, as seen when she murders a wounded soldier after promising him to take him to a hospital in exchange for finding Akinobu's location. She takes maniacal glee in killing anyone she fights or just for fun. She also has very little remorse for her enemies. Whilst appearing to be driven by general blood-lust, it is shown that Brigette subconsciously uses violence as a dysfunctional coping mechanism and outlet for her deeply repressed emotional and psychological issues.
The inhabitants of New York tend to take Brigette at face value as an incredibly destructive, volatile, sadist gun-crazed psychopath and this is how Brigette initially thinks of herself, ignoring the psychological trauma and emotional turmoil that fuels her behavior, possibly putting on this act to prevent others from discovering her emotional scars, keeping them hidden even from herself.
One of the ways Brigette's subconscious pain and emotional scars manifest themselves is her aversion to the empathy of others or others trying to relate to her. People presuming to understand what she has been through or how it has affected her is a huge trigger for Brigette, causing her to react in a violent rage, suggesting the depth of the bitterness and grief her early life has bred into her.
Brigette does not seem to have a sex life or any visible interest in sex, most likely due to the trauma of the corrupted policeman raping her.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Superhuman Agility: She is capable of high movement like jumping and maneuvering herself around crowds. She can also dodge bullets.
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Brigette also appears to have some hand-to-hand combat skills, being able to hold her own in a fistfight. She has also taken down other hostiles with flying kicks in addition to her twin pistols.
Weapon of Choice: Brigette's weapons of choice are a pair of modified Beretta 92F's; which are made out of stainless steel and had their barrels extended from 4.9" to 5.9" each (the 5.9" is the combat MOD barrel) and are threaded to be able to accept muzzle breaks, suppressors, compensators, etc.. They are engraved with "9mm Sword Cutlass" on both sides, as well as the Jolly Roger of the infamous pirate Calico Jack (which is also inlaid into the ivory grips), and a manufacture inscription in Thai.
Weapon Skill: She is also skillful with a wide variety of weapons, ranging from being able to single-handedly fire an M79 grenade launcher while standing on the deck of a moving boat, casually yet effectively firing a PM-63 submachine gun, to wielding a Gepard Anti Materiel Rifle against a helicopter gunship.
=== Techniques ===
Zeppelin: While in midair, Brigette makes a belt of several multi-barrel guns appear around her hips and from under her skirt. She fires all of her weaponry as she flies above her target(s).
== Relationships ==
=== Poppet Family: ===
==== Akinobu Poppet ====
Brigette considers Akinobu her sworn younger brother and understands (and accepts) Akinobu's personality better than most.
==== Augustine Bournemuth Poppet ====
Brigette's relationship with Augustine is neither particularly close nor amiable.
==== Daiyu Poppet ====
Daiyu seems tolerant of Brigette's behavior. Brigette normally calls her "sis". While their relationship is typically amiable, Daiyu views Brigette as little more than the occasional help, but it does not mean she's not grateful or appreciative. She's one of the few people who have earned Brigette's respect. To a certain extent, anyway.

== Quotes ==
* "So how do you measure a thing's worth? Nostalgia and memories don't mean shit. Value is determined by a universally accepted unit. Money. Any other measures of value ain't nothing more than sentimental bullshit."
* "What a terrible story. But appropriate for our world. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking over a giant pile of shit. Morality and justice don't really suit me. Words like that and what comes out of asses are surprisingly similar."
* (To Daiyu Poppet) "Damn it! ...Let's all calm down... What do ya say, sis? We don't want to re-enact a scene from 'My Bloody Valentine' here, do we?"
* "God is emotional bullshit."
* "Unadulterated strength, amoral bloodlust, and unstoppable hunger. Disaster, in other words."
* "Men are such idiots."
* "Some say shattering the cup is a bad omen, but I prefer it this way. I mean, if you break something, that means it can't be broken ever again."
* "You know the first rule of combat? Shoot them before they shoot you."
* "Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. We deceive or we are deceived, thus we flourish or perish. Nothing good ever happened to me when I trusted others. That is the lesson."
* "They say humans are social animals, they can't live alone. But you can live pretty well by yourself. I tell ya, instead of feeling alone in a group, it's better to have real solitude all by yourself."
