CONTRACT PAYMENT:

QUESTIONNAIRE: Enough money to cover anything her, and her family, could ever possibly need.

What does family mean to you and who do you consider a part of your family?

I mean I have my mom, dad, and brother and they're all decent people, but I would consider a couple of people not directly related to me to be family too! Dizzy and Ky have been so kind to me over the years and have invited me to hang out with them at their home multiple times. So I guess family is just the people you like the most and want to be in your life no matter what.

What are your greatest regrets, if you have any? What would you have done differently?

The only thing I really regret is not being true to myself sooner. I spent a lot of time trying to prove myself to my family and other people by being the best I could at bounty hunting or entertaining but because I focused all my energy on other people and what they thought of me, I really didn't spend a lot of time working on myself and who I wanted to be. It's hard admitting who you are even to yourself sometimes if you are always worried about what everyone else thinks. So really, I just wish I'd had more confidence to do that back then more than anything.

How do you define "success"? What is something you're ambitious about?

I think success is just a word you come to when you've done something you really want to do. For a long time, I focused on being a bounty hunter and making enough money that people would recognize I was good at it. And I did, I think! I've brought in a lot of bad guys and made a ton doing it. Mission accomplished, I guess. But there are others things I'd like to do to. Like I want to get on stage and entertain people, maybe make them happy for a little while. If I could segway my life into doing just that, I'd be very happy.

What is your favorite diversion? Hobbies, indulgences, vices? Would you put off important things for that diversion, or would you be more strict about how you spend your time and/or money?

I have a few hobbies. I like to play with yo-yos for one, like the one I use to fight bad guys. And it's taken years to get to the level of skill I possess now. So I guess that's less a hobby and more of something I practice for my job. Since it has a practical use, I wouldn't really say any money or time I spend on it is a waste or anything. You've just got to be practical sometimes.

POWERS & ABILITIES: You may link a wikia or other sort of entry here as reference but we still want, Being Guilty Gear is a fighting game, it is sometimes hard to define how powerful characters as game balance dictates each character is able to beat another in a fight. But even in an actual fight, Bridget doesn't really show any supernatural abilities of her own. Rather she is shown to be in excellent shape and, given she is a bounty hunter who is very successful in what she does, capable of holding her own against others in a fight despite her small stature and lack of raw power. She is shown to be very quick on her feet, being a very fast character in general, and very dexterous. The biggest display of this is her use of a mechanical yoyo weapon in combat, which she manipulates in such a way that it can be used as a deadly weapon. TL:DR Bridget is fast but lacks in power, and makes up for the gap with her yoyo and possessed teddy bear Roger.

SUITABILITY: Jigokucho is a game that will have themes of violence, crime, and possibilities of drug and sex-related content. Please explain how suitable your character is to an environment like this, especially

The world of Guilty Gear is something of a mess. Having been through constant war and conflict for well over a century and only recently achieved something that can even resemble a peace. It is in this world that Bridget grew up even in a harsh youth, in which she was raised in secret due to a strange curse that afflicted her home in England. Due to this, Bridget thrust herself into the violent world around her as a means to prove herself. She did this by becoming a bounty hunter and tracking down dangerous criminals and other dangerous types with just a weaponized yoyo and possessed teddy bear. Through this, she managed to acclimate herself to the lifestyle in such a way that brought her money and notoriety. Between the roughness of her youth, let alone growing up in the mess that is the world of GG, and her lifestyle as a bounty hunter she is a used to the sort of thing that she might come along in the game's hell.

FACTION SUITABILITY:

Shuten Clan:

Though Bridget is not typically would think would be part of something resembling the Yakuza, her background as a bounty hunter would likely make her fit in at least to a degree. As one whose profession involves finding those of ill repute and bringing them in for cash in an activity that, more often than not, delivers upon her target a beat down if they would struggle against her. As it is stated Bridget is actually quite good at her job and made quite a bit of money carrying it out, it would not be out of the question for her to employ the same actions as part of the Shuten Clan.

Tamamo Clan:

Bridget isn't really a sexual person but does style herself as an entertainer. It is a little ambiguous what kind of entertainer Bridget desired to be, but she was seen in her first appearance as trying to put together some sort of band to play for others. In the line of bringing pleasure to others, it is through this avenue that she would likely assist in the Tamamo Clan business. The clan's insistence on freedom would likely also be something to appeal to Bridget because for a long time she was forced to deny her own true self, primarily seen in her arcade mode as her wanting to tell others she is a girl but feeling people might dislke her for expressing such a desire, and being in an atmosphere that would allow her to be who she is freely without fear of judgment might be good for her.

Sutoku Alliance:

Bridget is the very definition of an underdog. Raised in secret because of a so-called curse, she has worked her entire life to prove to others that she was a capable person and even taught herself to fight in order to do so. Given that the Alliance is a group of similar people who exist in ways that might have to do the same in their own life. Given she knows the feeling she would likely fight for them as well in the process.

Department of Enma

Bridget has a strong sense of her own justice and might make a good enforcer for the Enma. While acting as a bounty hunter isn't exactly the same thing as acting as someone who enforces the law, she does have enough technique and drive in order to carry out missions with the same enthusiasm as her prior work. Particularly because bounty hunting was something that Bridget did not only to make money but also to prove herself as someone who was capable and respectable in the eyes of others. Seemingly there wouldn't be much difference in bringing in bad guys for money vs doing it as a part of a law enforcement group she wouldn't be that out of place for Bridget as a person.
