Brigitte

==Summary==
No longer sitting on the sidelines, Brigitte Lindholm has taken up arms to defend those in need of protection.
The youngest daughter of a weapons designer, Torbjörn Lindholm, Brigitte was the first of his children to show an interest in mechanical engineering. Brigitte spent much of her spare time in her father's workshop, learning the trade and honing her skills. Her aptitude for engineering mirrored that of her father's, but Brigitte's primary interest was in armor fabrication and defensive systems, unlike Torbjörn, who was world-renowned (and perhaps infamous) for the weapons he created.
Everyone expected that Brigitte would continue her apprenticeship and follow in her father's footsteps. But her plans changed due to the influence of another prominent figure in her life, her father's close friend and fellow Overwatch agent, Reinhardt Wilhelm. A close friend of the family and Brigitte's godfather, Reinhardt told Brigitte tales of heroes and chivalry as she grew up. After his retirement and Overwatch's fall, Reinhardt declared that he would become a knight-errant on a quest to bring justice. Before he left on his adventures, Brigitte surprised him by asking to join him as his squire. Reinhardt accepted.
As a squire, Brigitte had many responsibilities, the most important of which was the upkeep of Reinhardt's Crusader armor (a design she was familiar with as the current version was designed by her father). But more and more, she found her main job was taking care of Reinhardt himself, trying to protect him from his overenthusiasm even as his body was breaking down from years of combat.
Eventually, she realized that serving only as a mechanic wasn't enough and that the best way she could aid Reinhardt was to become a warrior in her own right. While Reinhardt trained her in combat, Brigitte began to build her own suit of armor in secret.
Now Brigitte fights at Reinhardt's side to protect him, and any others in need as knight and squire journey to make the world a better place, one battle at a time.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

**Whip Shot: Brigitte uses her flail's rocket attachment to strike an opponent as far as 20 meters away, damaging foes struck and knocking them backward.

*Barrier Shield: Brigitte deploys her energy shield, preventing nearly any projectile from passing through while it lasts. However, it can only take a certain amount of damage before shattering, needing time to recharge afterward.
**Shield Bash: While her Barrier Shield is deployed, Brigitte uses it as a makeshift battering ram to quickly charge forward, stunning any foe in her path.
*Rally: Brigitte raises a battle standard stored inside of her armor to rally her allies to battle, gaining increased movement speed in the process. In addition, she and her allies are granted permanent amounts of additional armor to held ward off enemy attacks.
