Background
A former street rat, the Sag born marine is the child of an actor. She doesn't talk about her mother. BS Cerberus is her first station, and it was on the Parnassus Anchorage that she took her first battle wounds. It's taken her a year to fully recover, but she's back on unrestricted duty as of 31 March 2042 AE.

Ransom North - (father), actor. Location: Unknown. Presumed dead. Before the destruction of the Colonies, Ransom North enjoyed moderate success as a character actor. He generally ended up with bit parts in artsy or alternative films, in which the pay was quite low—the kind of things that filmed in bad neighborhoods on the poorer of Colonies for "gritty realism." Only die hard cinema buffs or artsy alternative types would be at all likely to recognize his name. He had a bit of reformed bad boy rep going into the most recent decade, and occasionally appeared on the arm of some older actress as an accessory for awards shows and charity events. |
North probably has some sibs out there somewhere, given her dad's wild and drunken younger years, but she has yet to meet any of the bastard children. They're probably extra crispy now anyway.

| Late 2040 | Basic Training | Fort Argus, Sagittaron | Recruit North becomes Private North, and many marine-y things are learned. |
| Jan 2041 | Change of Post | BS Cerberus | Bridge transfers into her first posting aboard an honest-to-Gods Battlestar. Let the good times roll, Pvt. North. |

| Mar 2041 | Injury | Parnassus Anchorage | During recon and salvage at Parnassus Anchorage, Pvt. North takes shrapnel to the shoulder and round to the helmet. She sustains a TBI. Over the next months of healing and rehab, apparently recovers except for partial numbness in right hand. |

| Jan 2042 | Surgery | BS Cerberus | Corrective surgery on her shrapnel wound (shoulder) provides much needed relief, the healing and rehab begin anew. |
| May 2042 | Reinstated | BS Cerberus | North is given the all clear to resume full active duty. |
Physical Features
Bridge's brown eyes are wide and bright, an amber cast lending even more spark to the smile that always touches them. Her skin is fair, lips full, lashes long. Her hair falls almost straight to well past her shoulders, the chocolatey brown riddled with warmer golden strands. She wears long bangs that are slightly asymmetric if she's been too lazy to trim them for a while. A tiny flower tattoo in the tatau style is visible on the nape of her neck only when her hair's swept aside. She's petite, only about five foot two inches.

Pvt. Bridge North: Still figuring out if the piece are all gonna fit back together now that the docs say my physical recovery is good enough for duty. Sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my brain, but I'm working on it. |  |
Sgt. Ciro Sondray: This guy is a marine with just enough oorah and a dash of actual humility. He doesn't swing his gun around because it's big and boomy. Seems a man who isn't like to get me all killed if he gives me an order, and he appreciates ink. All in all, not a bad guy, which is great since I have to sleep in the bunk over his. |
Trivia
"When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite."

- Art Historian - She digs the art histories of several different Colonies, particularly as it pertains to tattoo, body mods, and painting. (Much love for Sagittaron, Tauron, Aquaria, and particular.)
- Collector - She collects things. Smokes. Crappy paperback novels (Romance, Mystery, Horror, and Art preferred). Cards. She loves cards. Most recently, she's begun asking crew members for sessions in which she can document their tattoos by drawing or painting the designs onto paper.
- Card Trickery - Bridge knows a thing or two about doing silly things with cards, building epic card houses, etc.
- Heavy Sleeper - Dead to the world when she's catching some zzz's. She can also fall asleep anywhere.
- Iron Stomach - She can and will eat anything resembling foodstuff, particularly on a dare for smokes.
- Scars - Injured on Parnassus Anchorage in 2041. Her recovery/relapse/rehab took over a year. Bullet to the helmet + shrapnel = lose. She carries a mass of scars on her right shoulder.
- Nicknamed - Some marines have taken to calling her "Eggs" because she got pretty scrambled by her TBI. Clever lot, marines.
- Sleep Talker - Sucks for the guys bunked down around her.
- Tattooist - Next to painting, this is her favorite art form. She's familiar with tebori, tatau, and modern and more pop tattoo.
"A man without tattoos is invisible to the Gods."
