Dame Bridgit Steadheart was a character originally created for a Changeling LARP I was slated to play in. The ST was also a player in Winter's Edge, a tri-state Changeling LARP, and invited me to check out the game. I decided to 'test play' Bridgit, but she took on a life of her own and I played her faithfully for almost a year. Actually, Dame Bridgit came to represent a lot of the qualities I value in myself, but there were those who used her to point out my flaws.
She was a solid, fun character who was great to role-play and even better to write for. Hopefully, I'll soon get a chance to play her again.
