**Bridgett Edwards** (b. June 22, 2024) is a Muggle-born witch from Croydon, England. She is the daughter of Lily and Oliver Edwards. She is currently out of school for the summer, but will attend as a Third-Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## Appearance

Bridgett stands at 5 feet, 1 inch. She has black, wavy hair that is medium-length, upturned, baby blue eyes, and has fair-toned skin. She also has light brown freckles mostly on her nose.

## Personality

Bridgett is a curious, friendly girl, and is sometimes annoying and hyper. She is confident, courageous, and brave, and can even stand up to stop people from bullying others. She has a wild imagination as well, and likes to draw sometimes. She is enthusiastic, and loves exploring her world.

## Background

Bridgett was raised in the bustling town of Croydon, England. Her father worked in an office building in downtown London, and her mother grew and took care of flowers in a local florist shop. Bridgett’s childhood was a happy one, and she was always told by her parents to respect others, even if they’re different from her. Her childhood was what Muggles would call a “normal” childhood: Laughter, happiness, some bad times, some good times, trips to the playground, school, etc. It all changed a few weeks before her seventh birthday. Weird things had begun to happen when Bridgett felt a strong emotion, like anger, fear, or excitement. This ranged from her favorite toys flying to unexpected fires. Thankfully, nobody seemed to notice, except for her parents. They never mentioned anything about it, as they believed that magic wasn’t a thing and that it was just from children’s books. That all changed one hot summer day.

## Before Hogwarts

### Outside Bridgett’s House

Bridgett was just watching her mother water flowers near her house. Every kid outside were either playing around or talking with others. A woman named Amelia was walking down the street, carrying a letter. She talked to Lily Edwards, telling her that Bridgett is a witch and that she was accepted to a school called Hogwarts. At first, Lily didn’t believe her, but Bridgett seemed interested in it. She admitted that weird things have been happening, and Professor Amelia (she teaches there) explained that this was perfectly normal in the Wizarding world. Bridgett and her mother asked many questions, from whether or not brooms existed to when school started. There was a summer camp in a few weeks according to Professor Amelia, and Bridgett was extremely excited for it. She had finally realized where she belonged, and there was another world she could visit, with so many things to explore! Her mother finally realized that magic was real, and that it was just hiding from all Muggles. Eventually, they travelled to Diagon Alley, where they got all of the supplies needed to participate in Hogwarts classes.

## Summer Camp

Bridgett has attended a little tour, her first Charms class, and her first Herbology class. Her favorite class so far is Charms, because “you can basically do anything with a wand, and you can learn it all here!” She has already claimed a dorm, next to some friendly girls, but she’s still a little shy. What will they think of her? What do they think about Muggle-borns? This all still feels new to Bridgett, but she knows that she’ll enjoy her time in the Wizarding world. Sure, there has been a lot of problems during summer camp, but Bridgett stayed out of everyone’s way. She didn’t really talk to anyone else in summer camp, and before she knew it, she was back home.

## First Year

### The Boat Ride

Bridgett finally got off of the Hogwarts Train with everyone else, and followed a line of First-Years to the Black Lake. The Professor questioned everyone about Hogwarts, but Bridgett didn’t really know that much. An Eagle Patronus was summoned, and everyone watched as the Professor commanded it. It was so cool to Bridgett! Finally, everyone made it to Hogwarts safely and carefully.

### The Sorting Ceremony + The Common Room

The First-Years finally made it to the Great Hall. The Sorting Hat was in a chair, and sang its annual song. After that, the Sorting had started. They went by first names this time, and not last names, so Bridgett was the second one to be Sorted. Before she was Sorted, she met Nate and Nicola Barrows. Nate was afraid of not being in Ravenclaw, so Bridgett comforted him. After just a few moments, it was her turn to be Sorted. The Hat didn’t even hesitate to put her into Gryffindor, saying that she has true courage. Bridgett had met some other Gryffindors, talked about Ravenclaw, and was invited by Nicola to a sleepover. After the Sorting Ceremony, the Gryffindors followed the Gryffindor prefect to the Fat Lady painting. The screech from it was pretty loud to Bridgett, but thankfully the common room was welcoming. Bridgett felt as if she finally figured out where she belonged.

### The Sleepover

After Bridgett got up to the dormitory, she had packed up all the things she had needed for a night. Her roommate, Samentlyn Ravens, was just ahead of her. The two girls went down to a study hall, where only a couple first-years were there. Apparently, several others either chickened out or got caught. That was sad, but that didn't stop the sleepover from being so fun! They ate treats, chatted, and laughed. Unfortunately, they were caught by the Gryffindor prefect, Einar. Samentlyn hid, and the others made up a half-lie, half-truth story about how they didn't know that it was past curfew and that there was another girl, but didn't know where she was. Eventually, they all made it back to their common rooms, and Samentlyn was found.

### First Classes

Classes had started finally. It was mostly just stuff about wand-lighting, but it was still so interesting to Bridgett! They learned about things like Dittany and *Lumos Solem* in Herbology, *Lumos* and *Nox* in Charms, and why the Statute of Secrecy was in effect. Bridgett did well in all of these classes, except for Flight class. It seemed like the broom Bridgett had chosen had sensed her nervousness, therefore Bridgett didn't fly well. Because of this, Bridgett had decided not to tryout for the Gryffindor Quidditch team yet.

### Studying

Bridgett had developed good study habits. She turned in all of her work, and had started studying more spells. She is currently interested in something to do with Defense Against the Dark Arts.

## Second Year

Bridgett attended her first Charms class of her second year. Classes are going to become more advanced and dangerous, but all Bridgett has learned for now is Finite Incantatem, a spell useful for undoing spells.

(NOTE: Due to OOC events, I barely participated in Bridgett’s second year.)
