Bridget

## History

### Youth

Bridget was Born and raised in Ireland. She was born on a boat, her dad was a pirate and her mom was a witch. From a young age she was incredibly headstrong and strong-willed. You didn’t tell her what to do she told you what to do. Her mother taught her great respect for the herbs and plants that they found in the forest for spell work. Her mother would always tell her to never take more than what is needed. her father meant well trying to make sure that Bridget could fend for herself and knew how to fight, and fight dirty if she had to. He slso taught her StreetSmarts and to always take advantage of a situation, which got her in trouble a lot. She picked a lot of fights with the little boys in her village, The boys quickly found out that she was not the one to be messed with. she wasn’t a bully though, most of these fights were picked because the boys were disrespecting nature disrespecting women or because they would not let her play with them because she was a girl. When Bridget wasn’t causing chaos she was helping her mother tend the family’s magic shop. She would help her mother pick herbs for potions, hexes and charms.

### Grown-up Bridget:

From chaos child transformed into a gorgeous young woman, Bridget surprised everyone. She had a many suitors, some even brave enough to ask her father for her hand in marriage. Her just father would just stare at these men and just state “If you think I have any control over my daughter you are sadly mistaken, she is controlled by no one and even if you somehow manage to convince my daughter to get married, you don’t own her; she owns you. Good luck”. Men found it hard even to get close to Bridget. If she was not attending the shop she was deep in the forest where nobody can find her and that’s how she liked it. From time to time she would go to social events Because her parents coaxed her into it. She found these events to be quite stale. She danced with men if they asked, but she was terrible at flirting and hated small talk. Most of the men that wanted to dance with her were the snot nose a little brats she would Pick fights with when she was a kid. They didn’t change all that much. Still thought it was their duty to protect a weak woman, she often laughed at their stupidity. Bridget doesn’t need protecting. Men like that infuriated her. Her parents slowly came to the realization that if Bridget was going to find somebody she was going to do it on her terms, what those terms were they didn’t know. I don’t think Bridget knows either.

Bridget was a great help in getting travelers into her mothers Magic shop. often dancing outside the shop welcoming customers. Bridget love to dance, but it was To the beat of her own drum. She hated the choreographed dances that everybody did simply because she does not like being told what to do. She found it constricting. her dancing was her own form of magic she would often get lost and entranced in the music as she dance. it was a form of meditation for as well. Finding herself energized and more relaxed after she danced. She would also use dancing as a manifestation technique, whenever she was dancing good things seem to happen for Bridget. Villagers and her parents took note of this often asking her to perform a ritual dance for them and she was paid handsomely for it. she did however refuse to do The Dance ritual in front of people, because she had to be fully in the music entranced to manifest. She often with it find a bonfire where there was music close her eyes and start dancing. She didn’t care if there were some people but there could not be a large crowd, too many noises would break the trance.

Bridget loved her mothers magic shop. She would often experiment Trying to make a new potions charms a magical items to Sell at the shop. One of those experiments was a hair growing tonic, she would often test out these experiments on herself before putting it out to sell. It turns out that the hair growing tonic was actually a tonic that turns your hair Different colors permanently. now and forever whatever hair that tonic touched turns colors randomly. From blue to teal to red to violet you never know what her hair is going to be. she likes it though, stating “ at least it didn’t make me go bald. Now my hair can match my outfit, and we have a new product that we can put on the shelves.” She did Stop testing things on herself after this happened though.

In Bridget's teen years, however, she found herself uprooted. Her father's piracy had gotten him into trouble, as he had stolen three very expensive rings, which he gave his daughter as a gift. The father never told Bridget where he got the rings, but after she was gifted them her father and mother decided to pick up everything and move. Bridget was told it was because they were looking for a new life somewhere else, when actually they were packing up so her father wouldn’t be caught. Bridget finally started to piece together some of what happened and it is still resentful towards her father for uprooting her. She still has the rings because shortly after her father took a job on a ship shortly after coming at too The village. even if her father did steal the rings it was still a gift.

That fiery Wild child didn’t all disappear though. Ruffians knew not to mess with the magic shop or face the wrath of Bridget. She would often torment, belittle, prank,and hex anyone who is dumb enough to mess with the shop. Villagers would often come to Bridget for assistance with these matters as well. And she was paid well.  Bridget would often make money off of these ruffians by selling items to “help” them in their endeavors, Often these items were jinxed or were made with magic to help the people that the ruffians were targeting. she set up her own separate booth just for this purpose.

## Appearance

It is rare to see Bridget with the same hair twice in a row. Thanks to side effects from her experiments, her hair is always changing color. She dresses similarly to other ladies of the village, with a white chemise and dark colored skirts, but she makes her style her own, accenting the skirts with a bodice that is embroidered with colorful butterflies, and hanging crystals from her belt.
