AGE 35 years
GENDER Female
HEIGHT 6’1”
SEXUAL ORIENTATION Hetero-romantic, pansexual
APPEARANCE
Brigitta is by no means an unappealing woman. She has long legs that only add to her long torso. While relatively thin, Brigitta is not light weight, and though she likes to act like a tiny teenager who could fearlessly sit on her friend's lap without crushing them, she knows she is on the heavier side of being in shape. It does cause some grief to her occasionally when she is feeling particularly feminine and vulnerable. From long nights doing nothing in particular and long days doing the same, Brigitta has strengthened no muscles and is in fact not very strong physically. Until it comes to walking in high heels, for which she has a particular talent and obsession.
When it comes to her hair, Brigitta is a little fanatical. While it is naturally a dark red, she often plays with various enchantments to alter the colour. Only once has she ever shortened it past her shoulder blades, and that was a bit of a comical mistake as her hair was simply non-existent for a day. No one else is allowed to touch her hair and any comment regarding her hair must include only praise.
She has a very well proportioned face, very symmetrical. She enjoys playing up her soft lips and bright green eyes with a dash of make-up. Well, not really dashes but rather gobs. There are few-and-far-between days when Brigitta Corwin can strike upon just the right combination of foundation, lip stick, and eye shadow to look like a well put together business woman but as a general rule, she tends to over do it.
TRAITS/PERSONALITY The best way to describe Brigitta Corwin is to think of sleeping baboon. You may want to interact with it but in the end, you wind up deciding that tiptoeing around the creature is much safer than the uncertainty of how it will act when woken up. Brigitta can be sweet, she can crazy, she can be wild, she can be quiet. Brigitta is a lot of things but predictable is not one of them. Unless you have the unfortunate luck of having known her long enough to be able to take uncertain guesses at which way her mind will lead her to a decision and carefully and subtly lead her in the direction you want. But be wary of this approach. If she finds out that whatever she was doing was not her idea, she skips steps in her crazy.
In some rare moments Brigitta can compose herself into a manageable form of a commanding, level-headed leader. No one is really sure but that believe this must have been what the younger, more sensible Brigitta must have been like and must have been what landed her the Headmistress job though it has since gone to her head; literally. Brigitta does have a few good ideas even if she has trouble expressing them. It generally falls to her Deputy Headmaster to interpret what she is trying to get across. Though she does do quite well commanding a room's attention regardless of what mood she is in, whether it be by fear of her simmering rage or by interest in what the tipsy Headmistress will say next, it's all of some interest.
What fills Brigitta's time is avoiding her duties as best she can. She is all about fun and against anything dealing with emotional depth. Brigitta is quite a superficial woman. Her favorite things to fill her time with are bothering her Deputy Headmaster and drinking tequila and taking random trips away from Hogwarts. But when it comes down to it, in very pressing circumstances and when her Deputy is irritated enough to command a sliver of her attention and seriousness at the same time, Brigitta can get things done. When-on the rare occasions-she is focused and intent on something, Brigitta makes the tough snap decisions and can get a group moving on various tasks to complete a goal. And while useful, it is generally short-lived.
As mentioned, Brigitta is a bit emotional. Her most common emotion is excitement but also commonly seen are anger, flirty, crazy, and jealous. Brigitta has absolutely no qualms about letting her emotions lead her. She's the only one. With, it seems, no social filter and little attention to social cues, Brigitta is not a popular attendee in public. Situations tend to escalate or become very odd very quickly. The one benefit however is you never have to wonder what is on her mind or how she feels about something in particular. She will always let you know, whether you want to know or not.
SPECIAL ABILITIES Easing tension by putting focus on her instead of the source of the tension. (though not for the benefit of those involved. She just likes attention.) Planning fun things to do. Leading a group, in the few instances when she is clear-headed.
HISTORY Fairly simple, Brigitta grew up in Ireland and attended the small magic school there. When she had graduated, she was offered a position in the Ministry. She accepted and moved to Britain at age 18. She lived there in a friend’s house, who had gotten a job in Hogwarts as Caretaker. During the summers, Gretta, her friend, would tell her all the amazing things about Hogwarts. Soon Brigitta became curious and when a job opened up as Flying professor, she took it. After serving as a professor for 10 years, she heard that the Headmistress McGonagall was retiring. She put in her application and she got the position of Deputy Headmistress. The new Headmaster found the job too much pressure and resigned in the middle of the year, leaving her in charge. She has been Headmistress for 7 years, this year.
