Bridget

Bridget is a young woman, 22 years old. She has jaw length straight brown hair, pale skin, golden cat like eyes with a slit pupal, cat ears on top of her head, and sharp features. She has a thin and petite body, small flat breasts and butt, and lean muscles. She has low body fat due to years of malnourishment. She can see in the dark, and has enhanced hearing. She also has retractable claws instead of fingernails. She is missing her first finger on her right hand from frostbite and has nerve damage in her hands and feet, giving her semi-loss of sensation in her extremities. Her body is covered in surgical scars.

Bridget was once human, but was transformed into a Demi-human through forced experimentation. The process was long and painful, leaving her traumatized. Bridget suffers from nervous ticks and minor long term memory loss. She often rubs her arms as if trying to warm herself when she gets stressed, she'll also repetitively unsheathe and sheath her claws.

Bridget's parents died in a mining accident when she was young, and without any other extended family on Triton to turn to, she found herself ending up homeless. She tried to find a job, but there was a surplus of job seekers, and she wasn't in good physical shape to do heavy labor. She managed to find small odd jobs here, but nothing that aloud her to get off the streets. Due to Triton's extreme cold, Bridget found herself suffering from frostbite and hypothermia on and off constantly which left her with permanent damage.

About a year ago, Bridget was approached by a company named Potestas offering her room and food in exchange for her becoming a test subject for a scientific project. Being desperate Bridget took the offer, and was taken to a medical facility where she was locked into a room that was little better than a prison cell. But it at least had a warm bed and warm food. Eventually though the intentions of Potestas became clear as Bridget was the subject to extreme experiments. Invasive surgeries, implanting tissue and organs that would often reject her leading to extreme pain organ failures, the scientists messing with Bridget's DNA and reworking it. The days blurred together as Bridget was in a constant state of pain and delirium. She remembered being asked over and over again if she was conscious while the doctors rearranged her insides, seeing what would happen to her. Eventually Bridget began to notice gradual changes to herself. Like growing a new pair of cat like ears on her head, better low light vision, better hearing, more sensitive smell.

Any attempt to escape was futile. Eventually she gave up trying to escape, figuring she'd die soon enough like the rest of the test subjects did. But Bridget didn't die. She was the first successful test subject. She had become the first Demi-human.

The goal of Potestas' experiment was to create an adaptable workforce that was also resilient to different harsh environments. Able to be sent to new colonies on alien worlds and quickly adapt to the harsh environments there.

Bridget is smart and sharp. She's somewhat quiet, especially after her time with Potestas. She's good at math and logic puzzles, but can come across as cold when it comes to socializing. She does like people, and enjoys socializing, doubly so after becoming a demi-human, enjoying small moments of physical touch. She tends not to talk much, preferring to listen and save her words for what matters. Bridget has what might be referred to as "resting bitch face." Where her facial expression can make her look like she's constantly annoyed or looking down at others, though that's very rarely her intent.

After her time at Potestas Bridget is somewhat mistrustful, but also willing to do anything to get away from Potestas, even if she doesn't fully trust who's rescuing her she'll go along with them until she has a chance to distance herself.

Bridget hates fish with a passion. It's pretty much the one food she won't touch even when starving.

The Triton colony was founded in 2154, and quickly grew. It's main exports are Nitrogen and heavy metals. Due to Kagayakuyoru being founded on the dark side of Triton the citizens found themselves growing depressed, so a culture began to form around entertainment through drugs, singing, sex, alcohol, and music. By 2173 Kagayakuyoru is a sprawling metropolis of metal and neon lights. It's skyscrapers reach for the sky, blotting out the horizon in all directions. It gets so cold that Nitrogen freezes, blanketing the city in a layer of front that makes everything seem to shimmer. While it's warmer in the city than outside of it, Kagayakuyoru still gets cold enough that most citizens wear heavy clothes and jackets, and businesses provide space heaters outside their buildings to help warm pedestrians, a tradition that was born on Titian.

Due to Tritons Nitrogen frost, asphyxiation is a huge risk in Kagayakuyoru, so everyone carries around special inhalers to help counteract accidental nitrogen inhalation for emergencies.
