Bridget Doherty | The Reformed Vampire Support Group | Not Reserved
Nickname: Mini
Age: 18
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact: AIM ryudojitemple, Plurk Misheard
Characters Played: Ryuunosuke Uryuu, Ledah Rozwelli, Issei Ryudo, V/V, Eater, Sanaki Kirsch Altina, Astolfo [Rider]
Character Info:
Name: Bridget Doherty
Age: Appears 82, actually 183
Canon: The Reformed Vampires Support Group
Pull Point: Post-canon
Background Info:
History: It's 1908, and Bridget Doherty is a nun at the Magdalene Hospice. She's eighty-two years old, and nursing Gladys back to health after some unknown sickness when Gladys bites her and infects her with vampirism.
Thus Bridget remains an eighty-two year old vampire for a very, very long time. Vampires are not appealing. She has bad hips and trouble getting up stairs, she can't eat or drink anything besides blood (she lives off of frozen gerbils), she's hurt by sunlight and sleeps in a meat locker. Skinned knees make her uncomfortable, it's dangerous to go out in public or in a car without heavily tinted windows. The highlight of her week is going to a support group for vampires where they talk about their feelings and problems. Which she's been doing for about a hundred years now.
Bridget spends most of her time knitting. She's very good at it - there's not a lot else she can do.
Personality: Bridget has an extremely gentle personality. She is described as the least threatening person in existence - besides how vampirism tends to make you sick and her old age and how she's a tiny woman with a cane, she's just an incredibly caring person who could reassure anyone that she means no harm and who believes in goodness in all people. She looks after the other vampires in her group, especially the younger ones and Gladys, who's kind of her responsibility. When a vampire killer was on the loose, Bridget wondered if they should put out refreshments for him when they tried to talk him out of hating and fearing them as a sign of well-meaning. She is that nice.
Although she seems like a pushover, Bridget has a strong sense of self-control. When a vampire first sees blood, they can go insane for it and attack, and after that they're never truly trusted not to attack others again. Usually those who overcome being blooded are able to do so because they have someone else to help them - Bridget is the only one in their group who passed the test alone, purely because of her strong religious conviction. Being a vampire has not changed her faith in God one bit.
She is hopeful that things will work out and get better, that everything will be okay. Although she worries when bad things do happen, she never gives up or gives in, and does everything she can (although that's limited) to help the people around her.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Star
Justification: The Star represents having faith in the future and in God, being thankful for your blessings and generous with your gifts, and being at peace. Little truly troubles Bridget, only huge crises like vampire killers on the loose. She's all right with her miserable existence and spends her time caring for others as much as she can. And her faith in God and the blessings of the future have guided her as a person.
Samples:
First Person Sample: Excuse me, but does anyone know what's wrong with the sun today?
That seems like a strange question to ask, but I haven't stayed outside this long in... a very very long time, and it usually makes me sick. I'm lost, too, so, could someone kind please tell me where I am and how to get back home?
Third Person Sample: Bridget winces when she realizes that the sun is beaming straight down on her, and she hobbles towards the nearest shelter as fast as she can.
Bridget being Bridget, she takes a long enough time to get inside that she realizes something must be strange. Normally she would be burned to a crisp or at the very least asleep by now. Instead the sun is shining, the wind is blowing gently, people are walking by, and absolutely nothing bad is happening to her.
...Is it a miracle of God?
