Bridget Blackwood is a player character played by Rada.

• Height: 168 cm, 5'6
• Mass: 56 kg, 123.5 lbs
• Measurements: 34B

Build and Skin Color: Bridget has a dancer's figure: lean and muscular. Her skin tone is fair.

Eyes and Facial Features: Bridget has an oval face, large brown eyes, a perky nose, a wide mouth and full lips.

Ears: Bridget has average, though pointed, human ears.

Hair Color and Style: Her shoulder-length hair is pink and curly. She usually wears her hair up, either in a ponytail, bun or pigtails.

Distinguishing Features: Bridget has a mole near the outer corner of her right eye.

Personality: Bridget is outgoing and optimistic. It's hard to get her down; in fact, sometimes her perkiness annoys others. She is restless and easily excitable. Though she is still naive, it's not easy to take advantage of her naivete because Bridget is often exhausting to socialize with. She's not modest or shy. She doesn't know what “embarrassing” means.

Despite her free spirit, she does well with authority. Though her drill sergeants told her repeatedly to “wipe that smile off [her] face,” she never questioned orders. As long as she's not yapping like a pomeranian, Bridget gets along well with her squad members. She's very careful in combat, taking cues from her teammates and assessing her enemies closely. She treats the battlefield like a stage and combat like a performance. It may be odd, but this is how she utilizes the skills she acquired through dancing and performance.

• Likes: dancing, colorful clothing, funnel cake, origami, rainbows, glitter, parties, puppies
• Dislikes: waiting, licorice, “that really screamy music,” black and gray, bad posture, mumbling
• Goals: Have fun!

Father: Henry Blackwood (44) Mother: Karen Blackwood (45) Brother: Dustin Blackwood (15)

Bridget was born to a Freemen family. Her father is a surgeon and her mother is a former ballerina. Bridget has one sibling, a younger brother who is still in secondary school.

Bridget followed in her mother's footsteps and took dancing lessons starting at age three. Her parents expected Bridget to become a professional ballerina, but much to their shock and dismay, Bridget decided to enlist in the Marines after she finished high school. When asked why, Bridget replied, “If I don't join now, I can't join later!” No one was sure what she meant by this. In a rare moment of somber thought, Bridget was scared her life was too comfortable, thus making her vulnerable and dependent on others. She hasn't told anyone this and continues to act as though joining the Marines was as reasonable an option for her as joining the Funky City Metro Ballet.

Also much to everyone's shock, she passed Boot Camp with flying colors.

Communication: Bridget is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, ships, ground vehicles, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Bridget is fluent in Nepleslian. She can speak and write it correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc. Bridget is skilled in field communications and is proficient in all rudimentary forms of communication (hand signals, flashing lights, etc).

Fighting: Bridget received intensive hand-to-hand combat training (primarily focused on disabling and/or killing opponents) and has followed up that knowledge with a rigorous training program. Weapons she is trained in include pistols of all types, knives, grenades (and other forms of explosive weaponry) and rifles of all kinds. Bridget is in excellent physical shape and has considerable endurance. Bridget is also able to pilot land-based power armors, but must rely on the suit’s A.I. to do anything advanced.

Survival: Bridget knows how to survive in hostile environments. She can build shelters, hunt and forage for food, build a fire, etc. Bridget can camouflage herself and is familiar with guerrilla warfare tactics.

Strategy (Tactics/discipline): Bridget can understand and give out tactical commands and work with his troop to follow those commands efficiently. She knows the importance of teamwork on the battlefield, has been intensively trained in discipline and morale, and is able to recognize the command structure even while under extreme pressure (combat, etc). Bridget is able to recognize ambush points. She knows basic math in order to calculate distances, etc, and can use a tactical map.

Entertainment: Bridget has trained for over 15 years in many dance styles, including classical, modern, urban and alien. In addition to her military physical training regimen, she continues to practice dancing on her own to keep her skills sharp and enhance her combat performance under her current occupation.

Domestic: Though not among her preferred activities, Bridget was brought up to take care of her home, which extends beyond cooking and cleaning. She can balance an account and budget, too.

Art: Bridget was long fascinated with dance costume designs and decided she could try it, too. She designs and constructs some of her own clothing. She's been sewing since she was 8. Bridget is also skilled with origami.
