Bland & Nonchalant
Bridget is a very cool, calm and collected girl and not easily excited. She isn’t what you’d consider the most excitable human being around. It's hard to read her body language or to read her in general. That doesn’t mean that she’s not fun loving, it’s just that you won’t see her jumping around in excitement or scream like a fan girl at the sight of a celebrity or something that’d usually make someone excited. She doesn’t even gasp or show much sign of enthusiasm - she’s usually misunderstood, but really, she’s just as excited as a fan girl to a Robert Pattinson although it’s usually towards her favourite bands, Hollywood legends like Robert Redford and Mel Brooks, and Vespas. Yes, she loves those Italian scooters. Bridget is reserved more than anything, and usually doesn’t care about anything or anyone that doesn’t concern her. Why think about other things and waste your brain space? She also speaks sort of monotone, hence she comes across as unenthusiastic. Her tone of voice also makes it difficult for people to determine whether she means to sound friendly or not.

Honest & Blunt
There is no doubt that Bridget is very blunt. She’s not afraid to show or tell someone what she’s feeling inside, whether she’s happy or whether she’s irritated. And while it seems that Bridget doesn’t have any emotions, she’ll show them if she wants to. She’s also not afraid to tell someone what she thinks of him or her or what she thinks in general. If that dress makes your ass look big and you ask her, she’ll tell you that it does. She’ll also point out an unspoken obvious like if your shirt is the wrong way around, she’ll be frank and tell you up straight that it is, even when people usually don’t just to be polite. Then again, if she’s finding amusement out of seeing your shirt the wrong way around, or milk froth on the top of your lip, she’ll leave you to walk around, yes, she can be a little mean. In all seriousness, she loves honesty and usually expects people to show her respect and be honest with her, because she’ll have no hesitation being honest with them.

Sarcastic & Witty
Bridget is what one would call the queen of sarcasm and wittiness. Well, I guess you could link them together, considering without her wittiness, her sarcasm would only be half as effective. Truth be told, she doesn’t know where it comes from and her sarcasm usually come at unexpected times. And when she uses her sarcasm, yes, she sounds unenthusiastic about it. Sometimes she can get a little too sarcastic or use it every second during conversations, and she would have already done so before she realises it and stops. She’s more often praised by her sarcasm and wit, although through her bluntness and unenthusiasm it is also sometimes misinterpreted as being rude and insulting. When dealing with the irritating people, she’ll use her sarcasm and wit.

Friendly, Fun-loving & Random
By now Bridget probably sounds like a frigid bitch. She’s actually the very very opposite. In fact, she’s quite friendly and fun-loving, and very quick to warm up to. She’s not afraid to initiate conversations and usually makes the effort to talk. Although after a few minutes of conversation and she notices that the chemistry just isn’t there, she’ll stand there in awkward silence for a little while before excusing herself to go to the bathroom. Or say something random like, “my dragon is waiting for me to feed it.” Yeah, she’s quite random, and the type of random that comes at the most inappropriate times that often cause people to stare at her blankly. She has a few people out there who think of her a weird but it’s all in the fun and amusement of things. Speaking of fun, Bridget loves to have fun despite her sometimes lack of enthusiasm. She has enthusiasm, she just has a different way of expressing it, and how she expresses it, no one really knows. You can see her however jumping up and down when she’s enjoying herself at a concert or when she’s performing on stage… or when she’s asked to or just being silly and random.

Unconventional & Unorthodox
Bridge is very unconventional about things. She’s not the type to follow the trends and prefers to go her own way. When it comes to movies, music and other stuff, she loves the alternative style and appeals to the independent stuff. Her clothing and the music her band plays are often “hip and cool”, but in the alternative way. That’s not to say that she hates mainstream, in fact, she listens to music from Chris Brown to Taylor Swift. Bridget is quite the alternative girl as we’ve already established. She usually likes the opposite of popular things simply because they’re not popular. Actually she enjoys going against the social norms such as having Ringo Starr as her favourite Beatle despite being the least favourite to everyone else.

history evaluated.

Born 25 years ago of Irish descent in the bustling city of Los Angeles, California, Bridget was a rather loud baby. Having been born into a showbiz family, her family was already living a relatively rich life. See, her father was an Oscar-nominated music composer, while her mother was a producer/director/actress/model and a few other relatives worked as moderately successful producers, directors and other crew members. They were strongly connected. So basically from the day she was born, she, along with her older sister ( and later joined by their little sister ) would be destined to work in the entertainment industry as she would later on in life grow to love.

The whole Dwyer family were pretty tight-knit, often spending a lot of time together despite the work their parents did. Well, seeing as Tom was already an Oscar-nominated composer, everything went to him these days and he had enough work offers to chose the ones closer home while still getting a hefty income. Their mother, Audrey, she too carefully chose work that allowed her to be closer to her family. Although she worked less often while the kids were growing up depending mostly on Tom's income. Anyway, the point was that they were a well balanced and adjusted family, which they still are to this day.

Bridget herself was close to her siblings, particularly her older sister who were two of the same ( except she's more animated than Bridget ). Only two years apart in age, they were the type of sisters who held hands when walking down the road, often seen notoriously sharing and cracking jokes together, and even making fun of the other children in the park. They also never fought - and so they crazily loved each other and called each other their best friend. Then when Bridget was seven and Kelly was nine, Audrey gave birth to their younger sister Abigail. Already older in age, Bridget and Kelly saw no need to be jealous, being already capable of taking care of their own. The Dwyer family continued life pleasantly, no dramas, nothing really spectacular. Again, they were well adjusted.

Bridget never really wanted to be in the entertainment industry like her parents and her 473294 other relatives. While Kelly and Abigail aspired to be actresses, Bridget wanted to be a musician from the first time she picked up the guitar at the age of thirteen. She was a rather different girl than those in high school who worried more about looks and boys. Attending Beverly Hills High, well, she stood out from all the rest simply for being different. And not in the good way. In the middle of the glitz and glamour, she was often separated from the popular Valley girls of Beverly Hills ( and the popular crowd in general ), and was often tormented and called a geek or nerd for her academic intelligence and focus in the arts. Getting upset during her first few years in high school, she eventually grew some back bone and brushed off any insult that came her way. She had also come to form a little clique of musicians and artsy kids who then became to be "cool" in their own right.

In her junior year Bridget met her high school sweetheart, Jason and together they formed a band along with their mutual friend Jay, calling themselves "The Pizza Place" - a homage to Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place, considering they were a trio consisting of... two guys and a girl. Things went smoothly during the rest of their high school days and Bridget, thinking that she loved Jason and out of spontaneity, married him right out of high school. She soon realised what being married was doing to her and she felt like she was being tied down. Being the free independent spirit, this wasn't what she expected and then came to the realisation that marrying someone she didn't really love was a mistake. They divorced a year later leaving Jason ( who really was in love with her ) heartbroken. Consequently, he left The Pizza Place throughout their sophomore year at UCLA leaving only Bridget and Jay who still are to this day close friends.

Studying music as her major, she eventually dropped out of college after her mother decided to produce and direct a film and was looking at one of her daughters to play a supporting character. With Kelly busy studying her senior year in England and Abigail too young for the role, Audrey begged her middle daughter who was perfect for the role. Despite not wanting to be an actress, Bridget figured, "why not?" and so she took on the role. She soon found herself attending film festivals around the country with her mother, making a good impression on industry workers which eventually found her working for more small films. Bridget never realised that acting was this fun and hence this started her acting career.

She continued appearing in films and making appearances on television, even starting an affair with a producer 15 years her senior who eventually casted her in his movie. Despite that, she continued playing in her band with Jay, now called "Vintage September" - September because it was the month they had become a duo ( yes, the month Jason left their band ) and Vintage because, well, their music had developed more into an indie folk style sounding more oldies. As she appeared in movies, their music gained more listeners, and eventually they were signed onto a independent record company and released their first album. Although not even making it into the top 10 on the Billboard charts, their music were critically acclaimed, and were even used for films and TV shows. Vintage September began touring around the country, and took breaks whenever Bridget was filming.

Her big break came when a good friend and a producer commissioned Bridget to compose a soundtrack for her independent film. It seemed like a big project but loving challenges, Bridget took it on. Released in 2009, the film ultimately opened the Toronto Film Festival, winning awards at Sundance, and even being nominated for an Oscar. However not for the music. Enjoying her experience composing music for films, Bridget made a big decision - to stop acting and instead pursue a career in music composition for films and television and follow in her father's footsteps.
