Character design

Despite the character's name, appearance, and female voice actor, Bridget is actually male. The reason for his femininity and, at times, androgynous appearance, is that he is the second of twin boys born in a village where twins of the same gender are said to bring bad luck. To hide this fact, he was raised as a girl, causing later his effeminate personality and appearance. Bridget however does want to become manly, and is sometimes confused when people like Johnny mistake him for a girl, which means he isn't completely aware of how feminine he is. In some cultures, makeup is associated with femininity. ... If referring to a flower, see disambiguation under bisexual Androgyny is the state of indeterminate gender, or characteristics of gender. ... Effeminacy is character trait of a male showing femininity, unmanliness, womanliness, weakness, softness and/or a delicacy, which contradicts traditional masculine, male gender roles. ...

Bridget's primary weapon is a yo-yo, which he can launch to hit his opponents or perform other unpredictable abilities. His secondary weapon is a mechanical teddy bear named Roger. The yo-yo is a toy consisting of two equally-sized discs of plastic, wood, or metal, connected with an axle, around which a string is wound. ... For other uses, see Teddy bear (disambiguation). ...

Bridget's official profile lists his eye color as emerald green. Although his eyes are blatantly blue in his profile picture, his in-game sprites and most other artwork all feature emerald green eyes.

Roger

Roger is a teddy-bear-like entity who appears sentient, springs out of Bridget's yo-yo, and adds extra attacks that form combinations or set-ups. For example, #Reload enhanced by "Roger Hug" becomes an especially useful move, as Roger gets launched to the exact spot of the enemy. Roger seems to have some form of artificial intelligence, as he can speak and in Bridget's Arcade mode of Λ Core where Roger wants Robo-Ky's body.

In terms of Roger's personal background, the teddy-bear appears to have an unknown origin, although it seems very important to Bridget considering that he carries it around at all times. Like his yo-yo, however, it is safe to assume that Bridget received it as a gift from his family.

Story

In the Guilty Gear XX, Bridget becomes a bounty hunter, not because he needs the money -- his father is referred to as a "multimillionaire" in his profile -- but because he wishes to prove he is not bad luck to his village and to his hopeful, loving family. During his search for bounties he is given a list of potential targets by a mysterious I-No, but it is later discovered, to Bridget's sorrow, to be entirely fallacious. One of the most notable upon the list, however, is the inclusion of Dizzy, whose bounty had apparently already been paid for by a victorious Jam Kuradoberi.

In Story Mode, Bridget has two paths, both of which consist of him cheerfully and mistakenly rounding up his targets. One ends with a battle against the bizarre and rather humorous Robo-Ky, followed by a fight against Ky Kiske, whom Bridget mistakes for another robot. After the fight, Ky explains the situation of the fallacious bounties placed on the innocent victims, which Bridget, filled with sadness and disappointment, tells the police officer of his high-hopes of finally proving his village and his family that he is not bad luck. Out of sympathy, however, Ky literally gives Bridget a huge sack of money which Bridget carries joyfully back to his village. Robo-Ky, as only shown in Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival. ... Ky Kiske ) is the second main character in the Guilty Gear fighting game series, having appeared in every game to date. ...

The other path can end two different ways, involving an encounter with May and then either Dizzy or Johnny depending upon the player's actions. In Dizzy's ending, Bridget befriends Dizzy and subsequently apologizes for attacking her, this ending shows him with a girl, similar in appearance to Dizzy, (with a different hairstyle) placing a pirate hat upon his head, (this implies he has joined the Jellyfish). In Johnny's ending, however, Johnny quickly judges Bridget as a girl and begins to hit on him. Bridget retorts and a fight ensues, and somewhere in the fight, Johnny collapses and realizes (though it is never mentioned how) that Bridget is a boy. In horrified embarrassment upon his stereotypical masculinity, he tells Bridget to never tell anyone about what he did to him. In confusion, Bridget simply assesses Johnny as "weird" and leaves.

In all three of his different endings, however, he discovers the fallacy of his bounties.
