Overview
Brigitte Fitzgerald is a fictional character and the main protagonist in the Ginger Snaps film trilogy. She was portrayed by Emily Perkins.
Development
Production and design
Brigitte Fitzgerald was the concept of Canadian screenwriter Karen Walton and film director John Fawcett. The first film in the Ginger Snaps trilogy examines Brigitte's relationship with her sister Ginger and how Brigitte's connection with a local "pretty-boy pusher" to find a cure for Ginger's lycanthropy transformation threatens to undermine the unbreakable bond established between the two in a pact. For Brigitte's portrayal, much of the "emotional burden [is placed] squarely on Emily Perkins' fragile shoulders". She undergoes several transitions: from "hero worship to independence as she tries to hang onto her sisterly bond" and "frightened goth mouse to something like the little werewolf hunter who could". In all, the entire premise of the movie showcases "a duet between Perkins's Brigitte and Katharine Isabelle's Ginger".
Appearances
Brigitte Fitzgerald appears as the younger of the two Fitzgerald sisters (Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald) in all three films in the Ginger Snaps trilogy.
