Appearance;
Bridget stands at 5’1 which normally earns a place on the shorter side of the height scale. Her figure is rather girlish with curves in the right places. While her body doesn't provide much intimidation factor her eyes can deliver a rather scary glare.Whenever they change from their normal electric blue to an icy glare, you should be warned that you're in deep trouble. The only thing that really makes her stand out in a crowd is her long pink hair. It usually falls to her lower back and she has swooping bangs covering her right eye.
Her style doesn't keep with the coming and going trends of today. And in no way is she a girly girl. She hates skirts the most by far and dislikes dresses but will wear them for a special occasion. Just don’t count on it too often. Her usual clothing would be a pair of faded but well fitting jeans, knock off pair of vans, and a graphic tee shirt. Over top of that it would be a dark grey or black hoodie which she can always be seen wearing. But her signature is her hats. Bridget can always be seen in a hat whether it is a baseball cap or a beanie it doesn’t matter.
Spells & Abilities
- Persuasion - This is a skill which allows a vampire to supernaturally persuade or coerce a target into doing what they wish. In general, each vampire uses this skill in a different way, each via one of the five senses. The two most common senses are through touch (physical contact) and sound (singing or speech). Like with Transfixing Stare, a target with particularly strong will power *can* resist this ability, but as Persuasion is a stronger ability, it is much more difficult for them to do so. In order for an order or coercion made through this skill to be effective, the vampire must maintain whatever means by which they persuade until the command has been given. For example, a vampire who persuades through touch would have to maintain physical contact with their target the entire time they were giving an order to them in order for it to be effective. In addition, the more extreme the command in question is, the easier it is for the target to resist.
- Paralyzing Bite - Vampires with this skill have an added offensive option when biting a target. They can choose to either drink the target's blood, or (if they can control themselves) inject a toxin into their target through their fangs. This toxin, once in the target's system, causes temporarily paralysis of both muscles and vocal cords, effectively immobilizing and silencing their target. The toxin also causes immense pain to its target to completely take them out of action. The toxin can not kill, and works its way out of the target's system in a few hours. However it is perfect for capture or immobilization in a pinch. Important to note is that a target can not do both, in other words drink and then poison or poison and then drink. Once the toxin has been injected into the target's bloodstream, their blood is no longer safe for the vampire to drink until the toxin has worked its way out of the victim's system.. And once they have decided to drink, the glands that produce the toxin cease to function for a short time. Though incredibly useful, vampires must be careful not to overuse this power, as it begins to cause extreme pain and flu-like symptoms if used too often.
- Shadow Walking - This ability allows a Vampire to temporarily meld with the shadows in the surrounding environment, allowing him or her to easily slip out of sight. As this ability does not create true invisibility but rather camouflage, it is not perfect, and can be seen through by anyone who is very perceptive or trained for such things. However, combined with natural vampire quickness and stealth, it can be a valuable tool. An interesting fact to note is that Shadow Walking is not affected by such spells as the revealing glyph. As the vampire is not invisible, they will not be revealed by spells which are made to reveal invisible things.

Overall Personality;
Upfront there’s pretty much three words to describe Bridget. Sarcastic, cocky, and sneaky. Those three words somehow manage to describe a large part of her personality. Sarcasm is a staple of her's and if someone were to ask if she spoke another language she’d reply with ‘Sarcasm.’. It's almost as if another part of her brain is simply for sarcastic comments. It's a part of her and she uses it for joking times, attacks, and defense. Along with her sarcastic comments she’s also very bold in what she says. She speaks her mind without a moment of hesitation often leading to trouble. A lot of the time people also pair this with her cockiness.
That cockiness or her normal loud mouth behavior is probably one of her biggest flaws. The girl tends to have a feeling of false invincibility that often leads her to bad mouthing the wrong people. Picking fights isn’t that odd of an occurrence in her life and most times it ends with her putting up her best fight which may or may not be enough. From time to time someone will pay her a kindness and help her out with often will result in a slightly miffed responded. In all honesty she isn’t upset with her ‘hero’ but more so that she couldn’t save herself. She absolutely loathes feeling weak or inadequate in anyway.
In fact, that hatred also aligns itself with fear. While she won’t admit to being afraid, ever, she does have this fear of not being able to protect herself or someone she comes to care for. It’s one of her few qualities that she seldom admits to having but more shows when someone does manage to worm their way into her heart. She’s extremely loyal to those she befriends and will do anything to protect them. She lives by the saying, “You protect your own.” More often than not she’d offer herself up before letting a friend go through pain, she’d rather herself get hurt than someone she cares for.
Getting to that point can be rather difficult. Coming back to that whole ‘sneaky’ bit of her personality. She’s can be rather cunning and untrustworthy when you meet her. It’s simply how she was raised and a large part of what she knows. She’s a fantastic liar, to a point of fooling those she knows best and can also easily spot out a liar. Due to the fact she herself isn’t the best company to keep she often thinks that others shouldn’t be trusted as well. Everyone has some sort of angle it’s just a matter of if that angle will help her out as well. That often determines if she’ll find the time to take an interest in you.

history;
Many years ago Erica and Alex met. It was love at first site for the two and they dated happily for a few years. Only one thing troubled their happiness and that was Alex going away every other week for business. Erica was losing faith in her love as he refused to tell her anything about it. Then she got pregnant. She was delighted… at first when she told Alex a grim blanket wrapped around his shoulders. He didn’t want a child and he told her why. That it was too dangerous to bring a child in the world. He told her why he was leaving, it was truly for his work but then again he was a crime boss. She was appalled by this and for the next few months they debated over what to do with the child. At the moment Bridget was born Eric wanted nothing to do with her or her father. So she left as soon as she was able and left their child in Alex’s hands.
As a young child Bridget was often on her own or kept in a room and looked after by a nanny that she did not like. It wasn’t usual for her to hear yelling or fights from downstairs where her father was doing business. And along the way she seemed to have picked up a knack for figuring out what was going on and how the crime was going down. Once they discovered that she had a gift for telling lies, around the age of 9, her father would bring her in and she would play behind his desk and watch the men he talked with. If they started lying she would tug on his left sleeve if not she stayed where she was. It kept the boys he worked with a bit more loyal. It was during one of the meetings that she got her scar.
She was thirteen when it happened, she hanging out behind her dad’s desk. She was so bored and fed up with all the fighting that she wished she was gone. Being bored she decided to take her leave, calmly trying to exit but one of the business men her father was brokering a deal with decided he’d try to make a play for control. He went after Bridget, it came as a surprised for everyone in the room as he grabbed her arm, pressing a knife to her throat. Of course after a few seconds of shocked silence her father’s guards started moving in, causing him to press a knife into her throat, a thin line being cut along the side. Having enough of that Bridget slammed her fist into his groin causing him to back off a bit, the guards freely firing at him as she ran to her father. That was the last time she was in her father’s office while a meeting was taking place. Even though he didn’t want her then he still loved her and wanted to keep her safe.
Keeping her safe also gave her a lot of free time which she created of her own mini gang. It was just a rag tag group of teenagers, all parents into some sort of shady business and each had a skill. Brody was tall and way too skinny boy with way to greasy orange hair and pointed features. He was a master of with locks. Janet was smaller than Bridget with curly blonde hair and a soft smile. She could climb anything anywhere, windows were a cinch. Aron had tall, dark, and silent but he had the brute strength of a bull, he was also amazing with blueprints and plans. Pip was on the small side, ghostly white skin and dirty blonde hair. He was sweet and an amazing look out. And together they pulled off small jobs, nothing big at first.
Together they started doing small crimes, just for extra cash. Their first major was robbing a shop Janet entered through the sky light along the back room, a rather short drop, and unlocked it from the inside. Brody then went in and unlocked the safe. Aron got the stuff out and helped with the planning. Pip was the look out while Bridget stalled the cops who unexpectedly showed up around the corner. However, the group managed to get away. It all went perfect until her father caught her coming home. He yelled, she yelled back and a verbal fight erupted. His whole point was that he didn’t want her doing crime, he wanted her to have a clean path unlike himself. It was a little late for her and anything she argued he would simply ignore. The next day he had each of the gang’s family moved away from them.
Quite the shock when she went to each of their houses and found them empty. It was easy to say she never heard from them again, losing her best friends who were more like family, seriously damaged the teen. Of course, Bridget was furious with her father. She couldn’t deal with his over protectiveness and the crimes he organized while she could do nothing but sit in her room. Around the age of seventeen she took things into her own hands she left the house in the middle of the night and was never seen by her father again. With a pocket full of cash from her father’s personal safe she made her way to the furthest place she could go, always fearful he would try to hunt her down.
At first she just made it by from hopping form place to place, picking pockets and doing small thieving activities. It wasn’t the best life but she was happy she had her freedom. It wasn’t long before she heard of a place called Hollowhill Grove. Figuring a town full of supernatural would be the last place her father would look she took off for it. At this point she was in her early twenties and she made a slightly more honest living a bartender. There she continued fairly well, earning a small but decent apartment and doing well with her job. Of course she was more popular with some than others and likewise she preferred some over others.
One of the few she got a rather bad vibe off of was a Mr. Jeremy Sanders. He was a vampire who seemed to constantly walk into the bar whenever Bridget’s shift started and left whenever she did. Eventually, she took to walking home with someone, she felt safer. One night she did not have her escort but thankfully she didn’t see Jeremy anywhere. Feeling a bit better she took a short cut, slightly less traveled by but she could get home quicker, to safety quicker. That wasn’t the case as the young woman was quite suddenly slammed into a wall, a bloody wrist shoved into her mouth. Only moments later she fell to her knees, suddenly feeling weak and nearly sickly. In that moment she felt a pin pricks on her neck, before she knew it she was being turned into a vampire.
Waking up roughly two days later her world was flipped upside down. Of course she was livid with being turned and took her anger out on Jeremy, beating on him rather forcefully before telling him to leave her the hell alone or she would kill him the next time she saw him. Her shifts were changed to strictly night hours while she lost many friendships and even a lover. In no time at all it seemed the Bridget was left alone again. Bracing herself she looked into the next years of her life bravely and has been managing with the change ever since.
