appearance

Bridget is a... plump lady. She doesn't eat unhealthily, no. On the contrary, she has quite a balanced diet. It's genetic really. She doesn't try to change it, she's quite happy with the way she looks, as long as she doesn't get heart disease or something like that. Her large body, along with her constant cheerful smiles, make her a very homely and maternal figure.

She has shoulder length black hair, that curves inwards slightly near the bottom.

personality

Likes: French stuff, life, wine, nature, books
Dislikes: Defeatists, violence, meat
Goals: None; she's done everything she wants to do
Skills/Talents: Fluent in French and LSF (can sense a good Cybelle ship coming on now ), can roll her tongue.

Bridget is a warm person. She rarely raises her voice in class, and encourages the underachievers to work harder. She will never force remedial lessons; only suggest them. She has never believed in detentions, but that doesn't mean she get's trod on. Her students love her for her support and lenience, but they generally still respect her power.

She loves life. Five years among a rural community in the countryside of France showed her its true value, and gave her a chance to experience it. She loves literature, and hates violence, mainly that which is a threat to life. She is a strict vegetarian.

Off work, she's a fun girl. The sort of girl you want to party with all night and forget about work tomorrow. She's also quirky, witty and cheeky, often the first to crack a joke about some event that's happened, or flirt with a handsome visitor to the Academy.

HISTORY:
Bridget was born in the ninth hour of the ninth day of the- eleventh month? Ah well. It would've worked in Roman times. She was a pretty hefty baby, having been born from two lines of overweight people. She had a completely normal childhood. She played with dolls, got laughed at for her size, etc.

Bridget adored everything about France. The language, the culture, the men, and most of all, the food. On discovering Bridget's passion, her parents signed her up for French lesson at the age of 8. She became very fluent by the age of 10. By age 13 she had become bilingual, and knew an extensive amount about the culture and history of the country. She had also learnt LFS in her spare time and become quite good at it.

When she was 18 she moved to rural France. She needed to spend time living there for complete qualifications to be a French teacher. The French language was all she was good for, having no other talents that could be practically used. she didn't really fancy being a translator, as it would most probably get her swept up into either business or politics, two things she really didn't like. While in France, she learnt alot about life, and also improved her LSF to proper fluency. After 5 years, she finally decided to go back home and pursue her dream of being a French teacher.

While looking for employers, she ran into Somnium officials. She hadn't dreamt of applying to Somnium, being far too modest to think her French was that good. However, the scouts said she was just what they were looking for, and of course she accepted. Once she had arrived, the staff carefully explained to her about the Dream World. It was a bit much for her to take in. Nevertheless, she went to bed that night, and became Circe. JorDon was very complimentary about her sexy Dream Form, and showed her around Demens. She understood more fully after that and has never looked back.

dream form

Bridget's Dream Form is a sorceress. Not a vampire, not a witch. Let's get that straightened out first. She's a beautiful slender woman who has telekinetic powers and weak pyrokinesis. She doesn't carry the extra weight she has in the waking world because she doesn't care about it. She's pretty much the same as her waking form, only much more sassy and forward. As a sorceress, she calls herself Circe (sir-see).

Circe reflects Bridget's deep connection with nature and life (Circe's meant to be a more druidic/spiritual character rather than the stereotypical 'hexes and satanist' sort), as well as her quirk and sass.

(let's cross our fingers and hope I know enough French to manage this. Probs will ;D
I'm around the top of my class in French, about to take it for GCSE, and also top of my year in Latin, which is known to be quite helpfl with Latin languages ie. French. and it is )
