**Bridget Breydan** (ブリジット・ブレイダン, *Burijitto Braidan*) was the older sister of Sion Breydan, and the girlfriend of Leonard Cravin. She was one of the four original members of his adventurer’s party, but during their quest to save the world, she was killed in battle with an enemy Necromancer.

## Appearance

Bridget shared a strong familial resemblance with her brother, both siblings possessing the same large golden eyes and silver hair. While Sion’s hair was shorter, Bridget’s reached midway down her back with her bangs parted to one side and the rest tied into a voluminous ponytail with a red ribbon. The elder Breydan sibling was always seen wearing a sleeveless black top with a white trim and an upturned collar with the top and bottom partially open to show off her abundant cleavage. She also wore tight fitting dark pants that were tucked into a pair white thigh-high boots tied with x-shaped laces above each knee. As an adventurer, Bridget dressed in a cloak that loosely hung from her shoulders, fastened in the front by a simple cord that ran across her neckline.

Her weapon of choice was a sizable ax with a single giant blade. She swung it with two hands or balanced it on her shoulder.

## Personality

Unlike her more responsible brother, Bridget was an easygoing person who did whatever she wanted, her free-spirited nature bringing smiles to the people around her. She was friendly and caring while highly capable in a fight, having protected Ordzelk and its people with help from Sion and their childhood friends for years. Despite the hardships they suffered as members of the Hero’s Party, the elder Breydan sibling remained in high spirits and continued fighting for the sake of the world.

She had romantic feelings for her childhood friend Leonard and they promised to live a happy life together, but her untimely death left a deep scar on his heart while greatly affecting her other longtime companions. Bridget retained her cheerful demeanor right up until the end, dying with a smile, and expressing her happiness as she passed away in Leonard’s arms.

## History

Bridget grew up in the town of Ordzelk alongside her younger brother Sion and their childhood friend Beatrice. As children, the Breydan siblings worked as blacksmiths, until ten years before the main story when their home was attacked by a group of bandits. Hoping to take back what was stolen, the three friends confronted the criminals and easily defeated them with Sion only wielding a wooden stick. While reclaiming their belongings, the children met Leonard Cravin, a homeless boy who had been taken in and subsequently abused by the bandits. Leonard joined them out of admiration for Sion, hoping that one day he could be of use to the person he admired. The four friends became local heroes in Sion’s hometown, protecting the innocent and helping those in need however they could. Bridget developed a mutual attraction to Leonard, but both were too nervous to confess to the other for some time.

One day it was announced that there would be a ceremony to determine the next Legendary Hero. While her brother did not wish to be involved, Leonard tricked the others into believing he wanted to participate while secretly signing up Sion instead. Bridget and the others journeyed to the Royal Capital where the Sacred Sword picked her brother as its wielder. The four members of their group joined together to form the Hero’s Party and set out to defeat the Devil King and save the world. Their merry band continued to grow over the course of the quest with the additions of the gifted nobleman, Kyle Osment; the sage prodigy, Nicola Lullus; the artificial mage, Dorothy Eleonara; and the Necromancer, Anri Hazeworth.

Three years ago on the Northern Continent, Leonard worked up the courage to confess his feelings to Bridget, causing her to laugh at her own foolishness, claiming she never believed he saw her that way before. Admitting their love was mutual, she proposed they save the world before pursuing happiness together.

One fateful night, the Hero’s Party found themselves staying in a town being attacked by devils. During the ensuing battle, they were caught off guard when their defeated enemies rose to fight again, revealing themselves to be the undead puppets of a hostile Necromancer. Bridget was fatally injured during the battle, but expressed happiness that she could die in Leonard’s arms, telling him to live a good life on her behalf. Her death drove Sion and Beatrice to their knees in anguish.

## Legacy

Bridget’s demise left the people closest to her in a depressed state, only made worse by the death of Beatrice shortly thereafter. Her brother Sion was left in a dark place following the losses they suffered on the quest, but seeing Anri Hazeworth continue onwards even in the face of death helped him find the strength to continue his mission till the end.

Leonard began to loathe himself for helping to make Sion the Legendary Hero, realizing they would all be living peacefully if he hadn’t played with his friend’s fate. He also developed a deep-seated hatred for all Necromancers due to one being responsible for Bridget’s death, and could never truly acknowledge Anri as a friend even years after their adventure. This grudge drove Leonard to seek the eradication of all Necromancers and he began hunting and killing them like prey, even those who were innocent of wrongdoing. After discovering that a group of four Necromancers had founded and ruled Farom Kingdom for centuries, he joined the Roselia Kingdom’s mad crusade to topple the nation. He did so even with the knowledge that Roselia’s King was a dangerous tyrant who forced his own people to suffer, making him an enemy of Sion and the new hero, Touka Scott.

After a fearsome battle with both heroes, Leonard is defeated. Thinking back on Touka’s absurd fighting methods reminds him of Bridget’s good humor, and he abandons his grudge, feeling as though it was Bridget who had beaten some sense into him.

## Relationships

### Sion Breydan

Bridget’s younger brother and one of her few known blood relatives, the two grew up together and had a close sibling bond. Little more is revealed about their relationship, but a brief flashback implies he was the responsible one in their family, contrasting with Bridget’s more relaxed and free-spirited nature. When he became the hero, Bridget joined her brother’s party alongside Beatrice and Leonard, showing they possessed the same aptitude as warriors and a similar desire to help others. Her death was the first personal loss Sion suffered on his adventure, driving the hero to his knees in despair.

### Leonard Cravin

Growing up as childhood friends, Leonard was always attracted to her despite being too nervous to admit it. They fought alongside each other both as protectors of their hometown, and members of the Hero’s Party, though she would jokingly wonder if he was the weakest of their group. Leonard claims her laughter always seemed to blow all of his stress and worries away. When he finally told her how he felt, Bridget broke out into laughter, as she had been ignorant of his feelings for so long despite harboring the same romantic desires. She saw them both as idiots for not noticing and promised to build a happy life together once they saved the world.

This would never come to pass, as Bridget would be fatally wounded in battle a short time later. Even while suffering from her injuries, she smiled and expressed happiness that she was able to pass away in his arms. Bridget wished him a good life before dying, showing the depths of her feelings for him.

### Beatrice

The least featured of Sion’s childhood group, Beatrice grew up with them in the same town and was friends with the Breydan siblings even longer than Leonard. She joined her companions in protecting their home and later became one of the first members of the Hero’s Party. While little is known about her, Beatrice was noticeably distraught after Bridget died, but would soon join her a short time later.
