## Summary

**Ginger Fitzgerald** is a fictional character and the anti-villain of the *Ginger Snaps* trilogy. She is the sister of Brigitte Fitzgerald. In Ginger Snaps, Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald are teenage sisters living in the town of Bailey Downs who are both fascinated with death and, as children, formed a pact to die together. One night, while preparing to steal the dog of Trina Sinclair, Ginger starts her first period which causes the girls to be attacked by a werewolf. Ginger is wounded, but is rescued by Brigitte. The creature is run over by a van belonging to Sam who is a local drug dealer. Ginger decides not to go the hospital as her wounds heal quickly. She slowly begins to change causing Brigitte to become worried and desperate to find a cure. Ginger starts to develop claws on her hands, hair growth on parts of her body, and a small tail above her rear end. After several failed attempts to cure Ginger, Brigitte discovers that a dose of monkshood helps control the infection. Before Brigitte can inject Ginger with the plant, she completely transforms during the ride home. After Ginger breaks out and kills Sam, Brigitte defends herself while holding the syringe in one hand and a knife in the other. Ginger lunges at Brigitte and into the knife, fatally wounding herself

## Powers

* **Lycanthropy:** Yeah, Ginger’s a werewolf. Her mutation is maladaptive - left unchecked, it will change her completely into a full werewolf, a monstrous creature with no humanity left and an insatiable urge to kill. The full transformation may be irreversible. Her body constantly produces the chemicals responsible for this transformation, and only frequent doses of monkshood (a plant related to wolfsbane) keeps this “infection” in check.
	+ *Extremely accelerated healing* - unless the wound is immediately lethal, Ginger recovers quickly. How quickly depends on how advanced her transformation is (ranging from minutes to nearly a day), but the accelerated healing remains even when she’s at her most human. Although she frequently feels sick from her mutation and the monkshood treatment, she doesn’t actually get sick anymore. Despite this healing, she still scars.
	+ *Feral features and senses* - These develop as her transformation begins, typically in the following order: heightened sense of smell, hair growth (she haaaates this, it takes a whole pack of razors to get her legs smooth again), silver hair, fangs, claws, ice-blue wolf eyes, pointed ears, then…
	+ *Skeletal changes* - In the more advanced stages of her transformation, she grows a tail, her spine starts to visibly shift and elongate, and her facial features start to change to be more animalistic.
	+ *Behavioral changes* - Ginger is impulsive and short-sighted at the best of times, but her mutation amps these traits up, and adds lust that quickly gives way to bloodlust. She becomes violent, unpredictable, paranoid, but it starts with increased confidence, lowered inhibitions, and a sense of freedom, which are intoxicating, and Ginger is easily hooked on these feelings. Since being bitten, heightened aggression is just the new normal.
	+ ***TRANSMISSION*** - Ginger’s mutation works, in part, through the creation of a virus-like infection that changes physiology, which can be passed to others through a bite or blood exposure. The infected person will start down the same transformative path as Ginger, and can also become a full-blown werewolf (irreversibly). The primary difference is that the monkshood concoction is curative in those infected, whereas Ginger’s body is always producing the infection and thus can only be temporarily reduced but never cured.
* **Limited visions** - After sharing blood with her sister, Ginger has a limited version of Brigitte’s visions. Brigitte can deliberately share visions with Ginger by sharing blood, but otherwise Ginger just has dreams and occasional hallucination-like visions that are patchy and disjointed.

**Key:** **Human** | **full-blown werewolf form**
