On August 24, EC 609, Brigitta received a [[Mayrana Blossom|cloaked woman]] in a red dress at the inn; after the guest departed the next day, she found that she'd left a peculiar vial of red liquid behind and put it in food storage.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 4}} On August 30 her son woke her with a guest he had brought to the inn, [[Hanne Lorre]], and Brigitta accepted the woman's payment after allowing her to stay in her own room, none of the guests rooms being tidy enough.

The next morning, Brigitta awoke and served breakfast to her guest; during breakfast, she arranged for her son to deliver a letter Hanne planned to send to the [[Schuburg Newspaper]] in Aceid and she learned Hanne was a reporter working on an article for next week's paper. After discussing her job and the ever-changing world for a bit, Brigitta learned that Hanne was in Toragay to interview someone for her article. The two then got to talking about the [[Freezis Foundation]] who ran Schuburg Newspaper, Brigitta expressing her distaste for the [[Marlon]] company before quietly retracting her statements, as the Marlon Marquis Blankenheim was the one who governed the town.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 2}}
On August 24, EC 609, Brigitta received a [[Mayrana Blossom|cloaked woman]] in a red dress at the inn. Serving her food for the night, she noticed the woman ate everything on her plate. After the guest departed the inn the next day, Brigitta noticed she had left a peculiar vial of red liquid behind; she immediately put the vial in food storage, figuring it was tomato ketchup and that the cloaked woman might return to retrieve it. At some point, she heard about [[Aceid|Aceid's]] deputy mayor, [[List of Minor Characters in Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep#Banner|Banner]], being allegedly attacked by First Santa Claus of [[Père Noël]].
 
   
 
After breakfast was finished, Hanne left the inn for the [[Blankenheim Mansion]] before returning there later that day, at which time Brigitta then moved her own room while she stayed there to investigate Marquis Blankenheim's sudden death. Two days later, the innkeeper checked Hanne out of the inn and she left to return to Aceid.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 3}}
On August 30, after going to sleep, Brigitta awoke to the sound of her son banging on the door calling for her late into the night. She then turned on the light and hurried to open the door. Afterward, the tired old woman told her "stupid" son not to bang on the door so hard or he'd break it. He then explained he brought a tourist making her stop in town. Staring at the [[Hanne Lorre|green-haired woman]] sitting in the carriage, Brigitta bluntly told her to pay sixteen evs up front.
 
   
 
===Toragay Epidemic===
Once the woman came over and paid the due, Brigitta went straight back inside. As the two followed after her, Brigitta apologized for not having a room tidied up for her beforehand and the new guest insisted just having a place to stay for the night was enough. Expressing her gratitude, Brigitta told her to use her room for the time being and encouraged her to speak up the next day if she wanted to move into a room.

  +
On September 19, Hanne Lorre returned to the inn and stayed during the following weeks. On October 6, she and Brigitta talked while the latter prepared onion soup, with Hanne asking about a previous guest named "Elluka Clockworker"; as Hanne described the guest, Brigitta recalled the cloaked woman and described her strange behavior to Hanne. She then showed her the liquid the woman had left and allowed the reporter to keep it for her investigation. Soon after, she served dinner and then the two went to bed.
   
  +
Later into the night, Brigitta awoke to the sound of what seemed to be fireworks and, heading to Hanne's room, discovered the window was broken and that the inn was under attack. Leading Hanne to the attic to hide, Brigitta then heard someone break the door down and call out for [[Rin Chan]], learning then that her guest's name was Hanne Lorre and that the intrusion must be a mistake. Brigitta watched as Hanne went down and talked down the intruder, learning the attacker was the woman's sister, [[Heidemarie Lorre|Heidemarie]], a [[Justea]] investigator looking into the case of Rin Chan's abduction.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 4}}
The next morning, Brigitta awoke and began making weisswurst and bread for breakfast. As she finished preparing the sausages, the new guest came down and greeted her. The old woman immediately asked if her bed wasn't suitable, pointing out the bags under her eyes while tossing a bowl of weisswurst on the table in front of the woman. The guest explained she didn't sleep for separate reasons before asking if there was a postman in town, saying she wanted to send a letter. Brigitta answered he lived with her and her son came out, offering to handle it.
 
   
 
Later that month, the [[World Police]] reimbursed Brigitta for the broken doors and windows and she hired a master carpenter to handle the repairs on October 17. That same day, Hanne left the inn for [[Lucifenia]] and Brigitta went out in the middle of the day.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 5}} As a [[Gift|mysterious epidemic]] spread through Toragay in the following weeks, Brigitta watched as countless died while the World Police quarantined the city.
Following their interchange to send it to the Shuburke Newspaper in Aceid, Brigitta spoke up, questioning if her child wasn't going to eat breakfast. He apologized and said he wasn't hungry before leaving. Once he left, she put two servings of bread on the table and sat down with the new guest to eat. When the green-haired woman noted her son was a hard worker, Brigitta declared it was a habit of living for money since he didn't make much of a salary. The curious innkeeper then inquired if she was a reporter since she wanted to send a letter to the newspaper and the guest affirmed she was.
 
   
  +
The local pharmacist Egmont later rallied together the survivors, relating he had found a treatment for the plague, and they all gathered in the [[Blankenheim Mansion]] [[Blankenheim Mansion#basement|Basement]] to avoid infection themselves while Egmont treated them with his energy tonic. Shortly after, several of the group succumbed to the illness and the horrified survivors realized they were already infected, eventually accepting the fact they'd all die there when Egmont's stock of tonic ran out.
As Brigitta began to ask why she was working so late into the night, the guest quickly explained that she was working on an article for next week's paper. Noting how immensely the [[Third Period|world]] was changing, the innkeeper related the lack of newspapers in her youth and questioned the reporter about what the work was like. When the guest said it was still currently a delicate job, the old woman stated the [[Freesis Foundation]] kept doing crazy things as well before admitting they at least seemed to anticipate them being profitable.
 
   
  +
On November 15, Brigitta and the other survivors were found by Hanne, with her hair changed, Heidemarie, and Brigitta's own son. After tearfully and roughly greeting her son, the innkeeper explained to Hanne how they had managed to survive until this point and directed her to speak with Egmont for more information.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 6}} Brigitta and everyone else were later moved out of Toragay and hospitalized in Aceid for treatment. Once Dr. [[Puerick Rogzé]] formulated a cure to the epidemic later that year,{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep|Chapter 7}} she and the rest of Toragay's inhabitants were released from the hospital and returned to the decimated city to rebuild.{{ref|book|Deadly Sins of Evil: Fifth Pierrot|Part 2, Chapter 1}}
The innkeeper then asked what she was doing in [[Toragay]], pointing out it didn't seem to be a newsworthy place. She then elaborated that there were probably a lot more events happening in other places, like the recent attack on Deputy Mayor Banner in Aceid or the [[Maistia|New World]]. Once the new guest stated it was because someone there was relevant to the article, the woman accepted that answer and wondered aloud if her son would end up in Foundation-related company. After considering it, she stated they were awful.
 
 
When the guest questioned her, saying she didn't think that was the case, Brigitta said she didn't need to flatter them. Pointing out they were dabbling in every business imaginable instead of it being for the able people who worked hard; after noting even the reporter looked pretty elite, the innkeeper apologized for any insult she felt, explaining her multifaceted opinion of the foundation for hiring anyone regardless of class but keeping their headquarters in [[Marlon]] where Marlon people were bossing them around in Elphegort.
 
 
Brigitta then quietly admitted she shouldn't say such things. When the reporter asked why, the puzzled innkeeper questioned reporters not knowing a lot of things and elaborated about Marquis [[Kaspar Blankenheim|Blankenheim]] being the one who governed the town. After breakfast was finished, the guest left the inn for the [[Blankenheim Mansion]] before returning there later that day. Brigitta then moved the reporter to her own room while she stayed there to investigate Marquis Blankenheim's sudden death. Two days later, the innkeeper checked the reporter out of the inn and she left to return to Aceid.
 
 
===Toragay Serial Killings===
 
 
On September 19, the Shuburke Newspaper reporter returned to the inn and checked in, staying during the following weeks. On October 7, Brigitta began preparing onion soup for dinner that night when the reporter peeked into the kitchen. Noting that the reporter was early, Brigitta told her the food would need more time and she'd have to wait for dinner. Once the reporter stated she didn't come for that but might wait, the hostess turned back toward the food and asked why she'd visited.
 
 
The report immediately inquired if she had entertained a guest named "Elluka Clockworker" and Brigitta admitted not remembering; once the reporter described the cloaked woman with red clothes, she recalled the guest from months prior. Stating how she had stayed there around three months ago, Brigitta described the woman's quiet behavior before mentioning the odd liquid she left. Confirming she had put it in storage, Brigitta told the reporter she cold take it for herself to investigate since so much time had passed.
 
 
Soon after, the hostess finished up dinner and called for the guest to come eat before serving the food. After dinner, the two went to bed. Later into the night, Brigitta awoke to the sound of seemingly fireworks and slowly went upstairs to the reporter, complaining that it was too early for a festival. Hearing the reporter question if anyone in Toragay would actually launch them were people were sleeping, Brigitta admitted she hadn't either, chiding the amount of loudness.
 
 
As she looked inside the reporter's room and saw the broken window, Brigitta sighed and noted they seemed to be under attack, suggesting they run away. When the guest questioned where, pointing out the entrance was likely a no-go, they heard the sound of someone trying to break down the door. The reporter then suggested hiding in the attic and fleeing through the entrance once they got around the attacker. Brigitta abided that it was the only thing two frail women could do, cursing at her "stupid" son's absence.
 
 
They headed to the back of the inn and climbed the ladder into the attic. As they cleared the spider webs, the two heard the door broken down and a lone set of footsteps resound through the inn; when the lone woman called out for [[Rin Chan]], Brigitta asked the reporter if that was her name in a low voice. The guest confirmed she was "Hanne Lorre" and the innkeeper immediately pointed out there must've been a misunderstanding for her to have come there.
 
 
As Hanne headed toward the ladder, Brigitta asked what she was doing and the guest replied she was heading down to stop her. She then said she apologized ahead of time. Confused, Brigitta questioned why and Hanne began explaining before saying she'd tell her later. Brigitta waited until Hanne calmed down the intruder; afterward, she explained the attacker was her sister [[Heidemarie Lorre|Heidemarie]] who was a Justea investigator tracking the famed diva Rin Chan who was recently abducted.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 4</ref>

On November 15, Hanne and Heidemarie found the surviving 72 residents in the basement; pushing through the crowd to see Hanne with loose pink hair and wearing a cloak, Brigitta noted the reporter's peculiar change in appearance. They were then interrupted when her son burst in and ran to his mother's feet, crying for joy as he cried her name. Overwhelmed to see her boy again, Brigitta held back tears as she chided the fullgrown man for so pathetically crying.
 
 
After Hanne asked her how she was unharmed, Brigitta's expression went gloomy as she related that almost everyone was dead.  Explaining their choice to rally and take refuge in the basement avoid infection, she admitted that it spread to them anyway and they were waiting to die. When Elluka noted everyone here was still alive, Brigitta motioned to Egmont and stated it was thanks to him.<ref>Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep - Chapter 6</ref> Hanne then went over to speak to Egmont about what he had done.

"I don’t know if that’s the reason why, but I can’t stand do-nothing Marlons being able to swagger around all cocky and arrogant about themselves even in this country."
―Brigitta[src]

Brigitta was an innkeeper of Toragay in Elphegort and the mother of the city's resident coachman. Running the local inn, she helped aid Hanne Lorre's investigation into the Toragay Epidemic. As the mysterious Gift epidemic spread through town, Brigitta banded together with the other survivors to help quarantine the plague.

History

Early Life

Brigitta was born in Elphegort sometime during the EC 500s, and later in life sired and raised a son. After gaining ownership of the local inn in Toragay, she served its guests while residing there with her child, who grew up to become a coachman.[1] When Margarita Felix married Marquis Kaspar Blankenheim in July of EC 608, Brigitta celebrated the occasion with the rest of the townspeople.[2]

Business as Usual

"Yeah well, I’ve got you a customer. Give her lodging."
"...16 Ev. Paid up front."
―Brigitta's son and Brigitta to Hanne[src]

On August 24, EC 609, Brigitta received a cloaked woman in a red dress at the inn; after the guest departed the next day, she found that she'd left a peculiar vial of red liquid behind and put it in food storage.[1] On August 30 her son woke her with a guest he had brought to the inn, Hanne Lorre, and Brigitta accepted the woman's payment after allowing her to stay in her own room, none of the guests rooms being tidy enough.

The next morning, Brigitta awoke and served breakfast to her guest; during breakfast, she arranged for her son to deliver a letter Hanne planned to send to the Schuburg Newspaper in Aceid and she learned Hanne was a reporter working on an article for next week's paper. After discussing her job and the ever-changing world for a bit, Brigitta learned that Hanne was in Toragay to interview someone for her article. The two then got to talking about the Freezis Foundation who ran Schuburg Newspaper, Brigitta expressing her distaste for the Marlon company before quietly retracting her statements, as the Marlon Marquis Blankenheim was the one who governed the town.[3]

After breakfast was finished, Hanne left the inn for the Blankenheim Mansion before returning there later that day, at which time Brigitta then moved her own room while she stayed there to investigate Marquis Blankenheim's sudden death. Two days later, the innkeeper checked Hanne out of the inn and she left to return to Aceid.[2]

Toragay Epidemic

"I think someone’s attacking the inn. Let’s get out of here."
"You say that, but where would we go? We can’t use the front door."
―Brigitta and Hanne[src]

On September 19, Hanne Lorre returned to the inn and stayed during the following weeks. On October 6, she and Brigitta talked while the latter prepared onion soup, with Hanne asking about a previous guest named "Elluka Clockworker"; as Hanne described the guest, Brigitta recalled the cloaked woman and described her strange behavior to Hanne. She then showed her the liquid the woman had left and allowed the reporter to keep it for her investigation. Soon after, she served dinner and then the two went to bed.

Later into the night, Brigitta awoke to the sound of what seemed to be fireworks and, heading to Hanne's room, discovered the window was broken and that the inn was under attack. Leading Hanne to the attic to hide, Brigitta then heard someone break the door down and call out for Rin Chan, learning then that her guest's name was Hanne Lorre and that the intrusion must be a mistake. Brigitta watched as Hanne went down and talked down the intruder, learning the attacker was the woman's sister, Heidemarie, a Justea investigator looking into the case of Rin Chan's abduction.[1]

Later that month, the World Police reimbursed Brigitta for the broken doors and windows and she hired a master carpenter to handle the repairs on October 17. That same day, Hanne left the inn for Lucifenia and Brigitta went out in the middle of the day.[4] As a mysterious epidemic spread through Toragay in the following weeks, Brigitta watched as countless died while the World Police quarantined the city.

The local pharmacist Egmont later rallied together the survivors, relating he had found a treatment for the plague, and they all gathered in the Blankenheim Mansion Basement to avoid infection themselves while Egmont treated them with his energy tonic. Shortly after, several of the group succumbed to the illness and the horrified survivors realized they were already infected, eventually accepting the fact they'd all die there when Egmont's stock of tonic ran out.

On November 15, Brigitta and the other survivors were found by Hanne, with her hair changed, Heidemarie, and Brigitta's own son. After tearfully and roughly greeting her son, the innkeeper explained to Hanne how they had managed to survive until this point and directed her to speak with Egmont for more information.[5] Brigitta and everyone else were later moved out of Toragay and hospitalized in Aceid for treatment. Once Dr. Puerick Rogzé formulated a cure to the epidemic later that year,[6] she and the rest of Toragay's inhabitants were released from the hospital and returned to the decimated city to rebuild.[7]
