The Dragon Who Loves Christmas with her treasure hoard. |
Unlike most of her kind, Brigit is fond of humanity and their ever-changing ways and seemingly boundless creativity. She has always enjoyed taking part in their Winter Festivals, and has loved Christmas since villagers invited her share their celebration early in the 9th century A.D. If she visits a town or attends a dinner or party where the Christmas spirit is in the air, things become so magical and festive that those who were present will tell stories about it for years. There will likewise be talk if she comes to a town or enters a home where the spirit of Christmas is being violated with cruelty and selfishness. When encountering such, Brigit first tries to convince the wrong-doers to mend their behavior and outlooks. When that fails, which it almost always does, because Brigit's human form is that of a cute and unimposing young woman with messy red hair and lots of freckles, she reveals her true self and brings a level of terror and destruction to that time and place such as only a red dragon is capable of.
"You better watch out. You better be nice. You won't like me when I'm angry." |
Centuries ago, a rhyming game played by human children at Christmas time inspired Brigid to create a set of 12 magic items that reflect the game. As with almost everything Christmas related, her source of inspiration has morphed and changed over time and it is now the Christmas carol known as "The Twelve Days of Christmas".
Brigit makes one or more of the items every month during the year, and, at Christmas time, she gives them out as presents to mortals that were either particularly generous to her of selflessly sacrificing to promote the well-being and safety of others, or to humans she feels could benefit and deserve the help the magic item can provide.
Check back every night on each of the Twelve Days of Christmas around 9pm (2100) Pacific Time for a description of Brigit's signature magical creations as viewed through the lense of the d20 System.
